What would YOU buy - 360 or Wii

Ok, this is just an opinion poll, but I need to put you in my frame of mind first.

I like playing games multiplayer, but often ending playing with myself a lot as well (sig anyone?)

I dont have a big telly at the moment, will this inhibit my wii abilities? (it is 60hz though)

I dont have a huge amount of space to prance around.

One thing that does put me off the 360 is reliability issues. Are they all caused by overheating? Or is it just like american cars... rubbish quality?

Cast your votes now!

Re: What would YOU buy - 360 or Wii

360 now has a 3 year waranty so no worries there.

Both are great! The wii is very family multi-player (there are a few adult games)

The 360 has to be used with XBOXlive to get the most out of the games (IMO) although the games are brill one player.

I have a 360 and would rather sell my first born than give it up!

Re: What would YOU buy - 360 or Wii

ive got a 360 and havent had a single problem with any reliability issues. Dunno what everyone is on about

Quite a tough call really. The Wii seems to be developing into a more serious gaming system as well now. It definatly was a gimmik to start with but its starting to get some games that arent just silly things to make you jump about for 5 mins.

I think the 360 is the better all round system by far and Live is excellent! But ide keep an eye on the Wii!

i'd spend the money on more RAM and a better video card, then you enjoy all the benefits of a PC- better graphics, better choice of games, more people to play with online, game upgrades and mods, and no nagging other half wanting to use the tv.

I used to play PC games.

I found that most of my mates were getting 360s and so decided to join them.

That is a good point - If your going to play online, what do your mates have?

Re: What would YOU buy - 360 or Wii

I thought about this a while back, i aint really into many games but would if my friends were round, so i would like to get a Wii, but as you mentioned about space, you dont need much space with a Wii but it can be useful when doing dramatic movements. Xbox's look good with the games and graphics so why not both i vote Wii but thats me

Re: What would YOU buy - 360 or Wii

I had a 360 ages ago but nothing good was out for it so i gave it to my uncle, now i just bought a wii, forza 2 has come out and i want a 360 again
The wii is very much a fun thing but make sure you have a decent space to play it in or it will ruin the experience.
