A friend has around ?475.00 in Game vouchers to spend after trading bits and pieces in, as I see it the choices are -
UK PS3 + HDMI cable + 1 or 2 Games ( 2 if lucky ).
UK 360 + HD-DVD Drive + VGA Cable + 1-4 Games.
UK Wii + Component cable + UK DS + 5-6 Games.
Now I've not seen a PS3 but after reading bits on the forum the general opinion appears to be it's overpriced. Blue-Ray is a nice addition though and it's built in.
The 360 is lovely but noisy, however the HD-DVD is a bonus and fits into the budget quite well.
The Wii + DS looks very good value but just how much of a gimick is the motion sensitive control on the Wii as the SSX Blur review on Gamespot says it's a little iffy.
The Wii bundle allows the most games but a couple of very good games would keep him going for some time on the 360 or the PS3.
He does not really have a preference for game types and would likely only be buying games on a semi-regular basis.
