Raj, you may not be able to find a Wii (this is what I gathered from reading threads on various gaming forums), their demand > supply. Wii seems to be a great family console with simple and unique controller.

If you are thinking about 360, then I would suggest PS3 (OK I am biased bec'se I am a PS fan 😆 ) to you. It is solidly built (no mass hardware failures like 360), is a lot quiter compared to 360. It has built a good gaming library since launch (though 360 has a superior games library but than it launched a year earlier), it now has games catering to all tastes, online gaming is free, but you are not a hardcore gamer so games may not matter that much to you. It has inbuilt Wifi/Ethernet, inbuilt hard disk is swappable, you can plug in any laptop HDD and store your movies/songs.

Biggest plus IMO for a non-hardcore gamer is Blu-Ray. PS3 has a Blu-Ray disc drive in built (360 has DVD, Wii has DVD I think but it doesn't play DVDs). Blu-Ray is next gen media, DVD is last gen now. If you have a nice HDTV then Blu-Ray movies can really wow you.

And I just read today that latest firmware update for PS3 will enable it to play DivX (AVI) files from harddisk, so you can transfer your DivX movies from your PC to your PS3 HDD and watch them on your HDTV.

PS. I don't have a PS3 myself 😆 , but I plan to grab one as soon as it gets cracked 😉 and becomes a bit cheaper. 😊

as My Chinese friend sound Sankyu (for thanku) for response... Wii is able at local store for 249$ plus few games in free...but it seems even though Wii might sound good for parties, it doesn't have zing of a serious gamer which I can predict would lean into 😆😆

I had and played on Play station but lack of time let the interest level go down and then this IF addiction 😆....PS2 keepers have brain washed me a lot on PS3 but seems its hard to hack lolsssssss not me they say...X360 is very easy to play downloaded game... but both are costing way up...till am not sure the time can devote in them kinna of specktical...My best buddy has PS2 / Wii/X360 and punchers my brains everyday with games he played night before main reason I am planning get one to avoid some headache after playing one myself lolssssss thanks for suggestion let me go a feel of 3 over the long weekend would update on wat I finally get hooked up with. 😳😆 ...So do you watch weekly gaming promos and updates frequently...am sure you must be. Will send you the links that this friend of mine religiously watches 😊

Edit - BTW thoese links are at http://www.gamespot.com/ heard the podcast of last week pretty cool.

Let's have a more fun light hearted discussion. Do you game? Why or Why not, and how much? Which console do you prefer and why?

Personally, I am a huge fan of Nintendo.
