    I guess the PS3 would be the 'hot toy' for this Christmas season :)

    Yeah I'd say PS3 as well. Although I guess it's not really a toy since it's $600.

    I agree, most people I talked to were wanting the WII for themselves or there kids. Not that many want the PS3 apparently:confused:

    Yeah that new Elmo doll is actually pretty cool. I think you can see it in action on a video somewhere on Break.com, just search for it.

    It's all about the Wii, simply because the starting price will only be $200 and has been designed for much more innovative gameplay. Unlike Sony, Nintendo knows that gamers aren't the richest people in the world.

    Yeah but who wants to play all their games with a remote control? That's the one thing that is turning me away from the Wii.

    That's okay, still cheaper than PS3. I also admit that I'm biased more towards Nintendo products anyway :p

    That's what attracts me. There will definitely be a big buzz about the Wii before Christmas. My local games shop owner told me he could only get hold of one when it gets released, so it will be a case of queues to get hold of it and the console selling for silly prices on Ebay.

    I'll be waiting for the fuss to die down and the price to drop even further, like anyone else with any sense. But I guess if you want to resell the latest must-have toy on Ebay in time for Christmas, you're targetting soft parents with more money than sense.

    Doctor Who stuff will also be popular, especially in the UK (I don't know how much attention it gets in other countries).
