Playstation 3? Xbox 360? Wii?

Just a little curious, and I'm sorry if this was posted before.
But after the E3 conferences and updates, what will you be planning to get?
Wii and the 360 seem to be the highlights for E3 all because of the PS3's price. But, if you think about it, with all the technology the PS3 is offering, $499-$599 is pretty good.

Sony's smoke and mirrors are finally gone. They can't hide behind their CGI this year.
The XBOX is a great system ( I own). I like the "new" XBOX LIVE. The downloadables are endless. They've been letting us have demos from E3 through LIVE. We have gotten Test Drive and Lost Planet so far. They've posted all the unveiled footage from E3 so far. The games it has (though very few
I respect Nintendo for not trying to "pwn" MS and SOE with graphics. Their control will really change how we play games as long as enough games take advantage of it.
I'd have to go with Playstation 3, a bold line up. I feel that only because they pulled their heavy guns (a mild modifcation to the regular xbox) early that they even stand a chance. Sony has proved time and time again that they're able to pull the reins of a new era. Xbox has only a handful of exclusive games (including Jade Empire, which is now going to PC with new features). As they say, variety is the spice of life.
EDIT: And I'm not geting a playstation immediately after seeing what xbox 360 has proven. Over heating, giant power supplies, and games that would run on regular xbox but not the 360.
Playstation has always had great games and many are PS exclusive, unlike Xbox which most of its games end up on the PC anyways.

Always been a fan since PS1, going to continue trusting them.

To me people are acting as if the price of the PS3 is a shock.. But the price is one thing i was dead on... For months there have been reports that the PS3 was going to be expensive and difference people and companies have been speculating on a 500-600 price... So I really dont understand why people thought it would have been cheaper...
For me... I think it's a good deal. Lets just look at Microsoft for example.. How much is the HD-DVD player going to cost..??? I'm willing to bet my underwear that it's going to cost $100... So if you look down in the future... XBox360 people will be paying the same as PS3...
I'm going with Sony because they're always strong... and they always have alot of support...

Deffinitely a Wii, maybe a 360, and not a PS3.
Nintendo continues to amaze me with their new controller, and I just can't wait to try it out for myself. Microsoft has better graphics and seems to generally have more mature games than Nintendo does. Plus, I've played on my friends XBOX 360s and I love that system. Oh, and don't forget Halo 3. As for Sony, I'm completely unimpressed. It's incredibly expensive (both system and individual games - gee thanks totally un-needed Blue Ray) and they totally ripped the other two systems (a button almost identical to the XBOX center button functionality, and motion sensitivity). PS3 doesn't seem to be anything more than an overpriced, overhyped, uninovative machine. I didn't like the PS1. I didn't like the PS2. I'm most likely not going to like the PS3.

The PS3 is basicly only available at the expensive version, since the cheap versions Bluray drive is appearently gimped. Who wants Bluray movies at dvd quality?
Then Nintendo Wii.
That PS3 looks like it's going to be awesome. The power behind it is incredible. It may cost a little more, but not really that much more for what you're getting.
And I've always liked Nintendo games. They're not afraid to focus on creativity and fun. I like how they have really off the wall games and ideas.
Nintendo has piqued my interest with their innovations, I will buy a Wii.
The delays Sony have dropped on us are suspect, and after hearing of the difficulties programing the PS3 processor I have begun to wonder if delays and vaporware will be the standard for the PS3. Even though its the best machine of the bunch, I will be putting the PS3 and its high dollar price on the back burner for a long time.
Xbox seems to have a major edge in the HD race, I had put off buying one in anticipation of the PS3, but that will change. The 360s are now on the shelves bug free, great titles are pouring in, and Live environment is thriving. The 360 will be my primary gaming system for at least the next two years.

I have to go PS3 here. They just have too many hands in the cookie jar at the moment. Developer's will flock to the PS3, because they now there is an instant high fan base there. Don't get me wrong the PS3 will be the hub for a lot of crap, but thats why they can still be functional and have a better base for new and unique ideas.
As far as Nintendo.......How many 300-500 dollar systems do you expect me to buy to get the next Zelda? As far as X-Box 360 goes, they still will not pull the same weight as Sony will upon release. Don't get me wrong though its a nice system. However it's reaching as far as the next Gen goes IMHO.
I have to say that the Nintendo is the only console I am even remotely interested in. I love innovation which is something a lot of game development companies seem to lack.
Oh you mean like the nintendo glove, or that robot thing? Or maybe you meant the gymnastic pad they came out with? Innovation is one thing. Coming out with a crap idea for one crap game is another.
Anyone up for a game of duck hunt?!
nintendo looking forward to it
i don't care what games are in ps3 line up, thats more then some folks house and car payments
By the by anyone looking at new hd tvs lately price range for 20 - 27 inch fall in line with 547- 999 depending on what features your'e interested in
the ps3 sounds and looks cool from wot i have seen
i h8 the controllers tho, they r like a boomerang!
i wish i had a rabbit

Ps3 but I won't buy it yet, I'll wait and see what is has in store for me the near future.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
Yes, but Sony also helped Nintendo with the use of CD's in gaming. Nintendo rejected the idea, so Sony made the PS1 and Nintendo sticked to cartridges. Until now, that is.. (^_^)

Sony didnt help Nintendo get into CD's....Nintendo had no choice its the path technology has taken. CDs can hold more data and produce better images.
