Right now, I'm saving up my money to get a games console for September. The only problem is, I'm not sure which one to get.
One definate thing I want to say is I don't want a PS3. Why? Look at the Price tag.
Wii - High on my choice. Seems to be a great group console, so it's suited for a University Campus. Problem would be finding one.
Xbox 360 - Not as keen about having one, but hey, it's got some cool games I want to test out.
Gamecube - Strange choice, I know, but right now the console costs £30 and because of the Wii, loads of great games will be cheaper than they are now.
PS2 - I brought one with money I won from a charity for a youth club I go to and realise how damn fun this thing is. Kingdom Hearts III and Final Fantasy would be two reasons to have it for me and Guitar Hero II and Buzz for everyone else.
Just to note as well, I'm not allowed handhelds. Family policy.
So anything from there or anything else you guys can think of, just buzz.

the wii seems most logical. it also doubles as a Gamecube as well (to my knowledge)

So if you were to sneak one into your room, and one day you were careless about it, and your mom saw it sitting on your bed... would she go ballistic on you? |

Well, not ballistic as such, but first she'd hope I was borrowing it from a friend and second....she'd probably get me to sell it. But I'd rather not risk anything. At all.  |

About £280 I get £55 a month allowance and am taking up a job which will pay £23 a week. What is the job, you ask? I don't want to tell. You sure you want to know? *sigh* Ok then. Paper Boy  |

Paper Boy That was a good game. Ahem. At any rate, I vote for the Wii. It has backwards compatability, so you can use a lot of the Gamecube games; plus the Virtual Console is there so you can download the greatest NES/Genesis, et al games... AND you can use old Gamecube controllers for newer games; seeing how inexpensive they are now, you would be set. That's what I would do, if I had to budget things. |

I'd say wait for the price tag on the PS3 to drop. Or, if you're too impatient, go with a Wii.

Me and my flat mates had a gamecube in our flat. It was awesome, we played NHL HITZ for the guts of a year.....
...then we got lives.
