Reminds me of the PC Guy & Mac Guy advert apple have been showing recently.  Both clever and funny.

Ah but we all know the truth with the Mac/PC adverts...

And that is.

You cant do f**k all with a mac.

Im more likely to get a Wii considering the price of the PS3.

Might as well go for a Wii and 360 by the time the PS3 comes out with its rumoured and even more likely pricing.

Rumour has it (and just rumour atm, no fact) that the wii is gunna be as little as Ã,£90 for jap import and Ã,£130 over here.

Anything like that and its gunna blow the competitors out the water in my opinion.

also (and this is confirmed) online play for the wii will be completely free, no subscription fees. That coupled with the ability to download nes/snes/n64 games + voip phone! Man, im totally saving my student loan already.

Since the Wii is considered Nextgen yet is as powerful as an Xbox, if MS released the same controller for the Xbox would it suddenly become nextgen? And if they released it for the 360 that would be come next-nextgen?

actually Im quite tempted now - loved the original mario bors NES games & mario kart was one of my favorite games on the snes but I never owned any nintendos (had a mega drive instead) so had to always play at my mates houses - might have to get myself a wii to make up for a deprived childhood of nintendo games

still interested in the PS3 too though

The Wii is next-gen, just because it doesnt share the same processing power as the other two.

Should the original xbox have been in the same class as the GC and the PS2, seeing as it was only 32bit, just like the PSone?

QuoteThe Wii console from Japanese gaming giant Nintendo will cost under 250 euros (Ã,£170) in Europe, according to a senior executive at the company.

Not quite Ã,£130 but add VAT and it wouldnt be far off.

Ã,£130 is under Ã,£170 ;)  It is a little higher than I thought it would be.  For an extra Ã,£30 you can get an Xbox360 Core if it is Ã,£169.99
