I wouldn't be surprised if MGS shows up on the 360 as well. You don't need the HD-DVD for any games. I love it for it's upconversion of regular DVDs though. For kids the wii is probably a blast, but I like looking to the future and High Def is the way to go. Don't look back. Oh, and if you want High def movies, you can just download them from LIVE... and as of this fall... If you have a Netflix account you can download movies for no extra cost... AND you view those movies with up to 9 other people over live (who don't need a netflix account)... CAN WE SAY MOVIE NIGHT!!!

The Wii is a hoot, but it's all about family fun, not gaming. I've never even SEEN a PS3. The 360, IMHO, is awesome not just because of the games but because of how much it can do. Interface it wirelessly with your PC and watch movies, stream internet content, home videos, turn it into a jukebox, etc. For whatever it's worth. My gaming problem is that I'm a hardcore, dedicated Splinter Cell addict ... and the next splinter cell game, which was originally scheduled for Christmas '07, keeps getting pushed further and further back. As of now it's "tentatively some time in 2009." I could cry thinking about it. We have a Wii and a 360. The Wii is a hoot, but it’s all about family fun, not gaming. I’ve never even SEEN a PS3.

I also vote Wii. I have really enjoyed my 360 in the past - but after 5 years, there really aren't enough good games coming out for it. I would imagine similar things for the PS3 - although having a Blu-Ray would be wonderful! Paying $500 for the system is worth it, if you play even one game long enough (Halo2 addiction justified the cost of my 360 :) but then you haveto ask yourself if you WANT to spend enough time on it to justify the money. We just got a Wii. And my 5 and 4 year olds love it. There are so many fun games on it too... skip the other systems neither. I also vote Wii.
