If your contemplating a Wii, now would be a good time to buy one. Now they're only $200, and a lot of stores are having holiday deals. Be warned, though. A lot of Wii games are shovelware. So, if your looking for a selection with limited shovelware and all hardcore games, you better go with a PS3. But, most people on the beach now whats good and not good on Wii, so if you do get one, ask around for game ideas (NSMBWii should be a no brainer).
