Xbox 360. I'm over the Wii for the most part, still like the virtual console and galaxy is incredible.
I own my 360 for just over 2 years right now... and i love it, i had no problems at all, and plus the new system relases of 2008 versions, fixed the Red ring of death problem, so you wont have any. Just get it man... better than wii, and plus wii has the mii's annoying stuff man.
XBOX 360 is better as it's more based for online and shooters. If you want a family system, go with The Wii.
Xbox360 if your looking for amazing graphics Wii if your looking for more entertainment with a group of people Depends on what your looking for I think Wii is more interactive but i personally like Xbox360 more
I hope you guys buy a XBOX360. I would get a chance to sell those 360 repair affiliate guides to you PPL. Please buy XBOX and pray that it goes bad soon. J/K
This quote sums it up well. If you plan on some serious gaming then I think you'll tire of the Wii fairly quickly. I'd go with the Xbox 360 which is good value at the moment.
I would get the Wii if you are looking for more games to play with your family. It has more games that are geared for kids. Get the XBox 360 if your looking to get the game just for yourself. There is more games that are geared for a little older group.
