Xbox 360, if you can afford £425 + £50 then the PS3 could be yours, the Xbox 360 has so great games out for it and most can be picked up for £30-35 if you shop around.
PS3 games will be £50 for awhile till PS3 become more popular, PS3 will sell out when released in the UK, I cant see Sony building enough to meet demand.
The Wii is great but abit price when you add games and extra pads ( wiimote etc.)
Also the 360 has teething probs and I can see the PS3 having the same, reports of it over heating, so importing one and you wont get a warranty.Total CC Debt: £1750
Overdraft £1300
Car Loan £1750
Savings £0
Redundancy OCT £2000
Wage this month £5400 -
I would look at the console that had games I liked the most and get that - after all it is about the quality of the games?
I know that many people will buy the XBox 360 because of the two upcoming Halo games - can't really blame them as they previous ones have been fun. I on the other hand need to save up for a better pc so hence cannot afford both

Even £24 if you look on eBay. I recently bought Ghost Recon for £24, and Saints Row for £28.
Basically wait a month, someone will have completed the game and will want to sell it on."Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha."0 -
the answer is always to wait.
(a) because it will get cheaper
(b) there is rarely any TOP quality games on release
(c) remember Lawbag's Golden Gaming Law - live in the past, and you'll live like a king - buy all those Gamecubes and X-boxes games for next to nothing as everyone scrambles to buy next gen.
Oh and the Nintendo WII, is basically a re-badged revamped Gamecube anyhow with a wonderful? new controller."See you on the Other Side"0
