    The best part about my PC is that it runs Windows 7 ^_^

    It's surprisingly stable for a beta.

    I hope more people choose to use Windows 7 once it's released. It feel kinda sorry for Microsoft after Vista

    - easily upgradable
    - can fix issues myself, without worrying about warranties, or sending shit to microsoft/sony
    + 1 for PC for myself =]

    Those exact reasons are why

    Voted XBOX360 because I have one.

    Was going to get a PS3 but decided on the Xbox instead... it was cheaper, had the games I wanted and reviews for online play were better than PS3. Only upside (for me) for the PS3 was that it has a blu-ray drive, but I couldn't justify the extra $300 or whatever it was at the time.

    PC... well I'm not a hardcore enough gamer to spend that extra money on a gaming PC, then having to worry about hardware issues, or having the right drivers, or whatever else happens with PC's that sometimes makes it a pain the A to get certain games running. Although I know the PC has it advantages, the simplicity of a console wins it for me.

    Wii... would not ever consider buying one of these, not even for a second. Don't think I'd even except it for free... or if I did it'd just go straight on eBay or I'd use it as a gift to someone.

    I prefer to play games on PC. I feel although PC gaming offers a more immersive experience over console gaming.

    There isnt a right or wrong answer when you really look into it. Depending on what you like, is what system you should get. For example strategy games are best on the PC, so buy a bloody PC if you like strategy games. If you like a shooting game, PC is the best for this as well. But if you like your sport games, then buy a PS3 or XBOX, as companies dont use all the features and controls in the PC versions as they do for the consoles. And if you cant decide out of PS3 or XBOX, choose the PS3 as its going to get you more years out of it. And lastly get the wii if you want a little fun, interaction, party games, high scores, bragging rights, etc, so basically a family console.
