Even to me, those aren't as wonderful as the likes of Zelda or MarioKart, but it got my vote as it's currently also a cheap Blu-Ray player. I'm a big DVD/film buff, and I'm pretty sure that if there is going to be a format to dethrone DVD, it'll be Blu-Ray.
Pretty much the reason I first bought my PS2 as well - it was a cheap DVD player, and the games weren't bad.

You can also play Guitar Hero 2 with a better guitar on the 360.

Yeah, but I can't play the old PS games I have on 360. And I love some of my old PS games.
At this rate, if I actually go out and buy a Next Gen console, it will either be a PS3 or a Wii because of the backward capability of them. I presently have an original PS and a GameCube.

I understand, but I would not buy a £400 (dont know how much in dollars) console just to play old PS games. The graphics would be hideous to what they are nowadays. The games are much more interesting these days too.

I have to say that: I'm on a healthy eating comittee (somewhat ironic, but I am).

But its main use should be as a games console and many developers are saying that Blu-Ray is just too slow and loads of games are having awful frame rate problems. Also GTA:IV is coming to the 360 too, Gran Turismo HD is basically a tech demo. MGS4 is the only game I will miss by not having a PS3. I am not a Xbox fanboy by the way, I had a PS1 and PS2.

Oh dear! I am.. not the biggest fan of healthy eating.

You can't really say what its main use should be if it's got more than one function. The main use will vary depending on the wants and needs of the buyer. Given the fact that the cheapest standalone Blu-Ray player retails at £899.99, the PS3 is to me a bargain Blu-Ray player that also happens to play decent games. Yeah, you can get them on other formats, but not formats that come with a bargain Blu-Ray player thrown in.

And that's why the wii sucks balls.
Ideally I'd vote for both the PS3 and the 360 as they are essentially the same thing with a few minor differences, but as I own a 360 and know the online system is a lot better I'll give a shout out to the 360.

Despite owning a PS3 (and not regretting that decision for a moment) and having played regularly on mates' 360s, I gotta say that Wii currently has the better catalogue of quality games that put long-term gameplay ahead of trying to have the fanciest graphics, because Nintendo have always been smart enough to know that having the best graphics lasts about as long as owning the best mobile phone.

After browsing the wikipedia wii game list, I'm quite sure most of those games could run on those top line mobile phones. But seriously, from my perspective the back catalogue is absolutely dire. And I'd argue long and hard on the long-term gameplay point, I seriously doubt any of those games have the true longevity of a top shelf online game like Call Of Duty 4 or Halo 3, the ingenius achievements challenges of the 360 is another wii killer in my books.
