I hate the PS3 because I cant own one! But the Wii for some reason just doesn't strike me as something that I'd want. Anyone have experience playing either system?

i spent the other day playing both systems. My friend has owned so far 3 ps3's and all of which he has sold now. Anyway, both systems didnt appeal to me at all. Honestly i was mildly disappointed. The PS3 was honestly the worst of the 3 plagued with slow load times and notchy gameplay. Wii was 2nd worse with the controller beign a sort of gimmick. But the 360 honestly came on top... Gears of war is too good.

lol I assume your being sarcastic.. good one :)

Anyway, I'm disapointed with the Wii as system, but I'm not disapointed with Zelda so far ;). I'm disapointed with the PS3's launch titles, Resistance is fun but not gonna keep me tied down for too long.... infact I'm still playing FFXII and Zelda over even touching it really. Wii sports just plain old sucks to me.... but that type of stuff isnt my cup of tea anyway. I will get more into when I make my actual review. Oh, and Wii is glitchy, making me annoyed! Oh, and the PS3 as a system right now is just mind blowing... too bad it has jack for games right now. I love the layout vs the Wii's.

Yes the Wii is indeed glitchy. I managed to crash Zelda, and lose all my saved data. Kind of sucked. Still Zelda is a really fun game. But like you I'm just not impressed with the Wii. It still feels like a gimmick, maybe with some newer games we will see something worth while done with that controller. Till then the Wii doesn't really impress me.

I havent played the PS3, Im kinda pissed sony didnt deliver on alot of their promises. The Wii I think is amazing. Some games from off party developers show they need to get more into coding for the "wii"mote before they get into it, but its great. I played red steel, apparently after an hr or so it gets better, but I stopped after 15 mins, too loose on the aim. Zelda however, was fuckin amazing, on target and fun as hell with the Wiis controller. I hadnt sat and played a game for 4 hrs at one time since I was 15, Im 21 now, and I played it for that long one night, I couldnt get enough. Im not biased, Id love all three systems, but so far out of the 2 Ive played (xbox and wii) I like the Wii the most.
