What is the best games console to buy …nintendo ,playstation,x-box etc lots of feedback please?

XBOX 360 and a wii!!!! this is general commen sense TBH….

A ps3 in the uk will cost £424.99 on release to which you will need a game so thats nother £50 and then another controller so you can play 2 player so thats another £35 so far around £500 lets say all for the amazing graphics that no one has actually seen yet and also for this magical blue ray! that obviously doesnt work properly hence the march delay. also ps3 having built in internet doesnt actually have any purpose it doesnt handle flash etc.. and wait till some smart hacker learns how to brick* your ps3…..

So in sense buy a WII for £174.99 and a 360 with games for the same price and you get two consoles for the price of one… and its generally a better offer…. just think how many people will be robbing people for ps3 and the waiting list…
