What to do :(

If I were spending about the same on both, and that is now close to being the case, I'd go with the PS3. Each console has its pros and cons, but the big factor was the price difference. And still now for someone on a tight budget the entry level Xbox 360 is unbeatable.
 
Til the budget situation changes and they realise that MS get's all that money back and then some for the hassle of making them wait for it...Wanna play online...$50...so that's R500 basically, need a HDD because you want to play all the courses in Forza 3, R1600...thinking about wireless adaptor...R1000....so just these 3 extra's come to over R3000 (and the XBL membership is a rolling fee)...fine if the person can say he'll never need any of those features, but i can't imagine as person saying I don't need a hard drive or I don't need to play online....

lol, good luck with that. Most retailers dropped their prices to R2400, some even with Wii Motion Plus and Wii Sports Resort included.
 
well R2900 for the motion plus pack.

Mine has an extra remote + nunchuck, tiger woods 10, warioland, super smash bros, metroid prime 3, HD composite cable, motion plus, wii sports ... brand new its comes up to +- R5000 .. but ya ill see ;)
 
I'll never sell my Wii, it's the only next-gen console you can softmod and download games to copy. No void warranty etc. just pure awesomeness.

But don't need a hdd just to play online, patches for MW2 this week has been over 45mb so far....play all the courses and cars in forza3 you need to do an install...so you pay for a full game but because of your console you don't get a fair gaming experience in regards to the content available on the disc's....and there's still other stuff like ever wanting to play custom music, downloading a XBL game that is not available on traditional media, DLC...every so often a gamer comes across a game they love and just want more of it, sorry, no DLC for you...some of the 360's highest scoring content has been DLC (gay tony???)..

I'm not saying they missing it now, i'm just saying that they missing out !

And it might not be apparent or even interesting to them right now, but it's rearing it's head! Man, i could easily pose the argument that my phone doesn't need an hard drive, but i know the functionality it brings with it...

It's my spare USB storage device, i can review work and personal office documents on the fly, watch media, download games...so yeah, anyone in 2009 saying that a console doesn't need a hard drive for modern games hasn't played modern games...patches, dlc, extra hdd features (e.g. custom music), imports (GH games do imports across versions)....

Bluff everyone else, but i know the value of a hdd...
