Every store in my town sold out on launch day. My birthday is in December, so I know what I am putting under my Christmas tree. :-) Can't wait to play Zelda with the wii-mote. I am SO jealous.

When you play tennis on the Wii, you PLAY tennis. There is nothing like that on PS3; the sensor only senses minor motions, they are not the main controls of the game.

The PS3 remote also has the motion sensor in it.

But I am so horrible at video games that it is never worth it to me.. I can never get past the first level. It is awful. I will come over and watch you play, though...

I just got Gears of War and I usually don't like these futuristic shooter games but it's pretty incredible. While I was playing in my own campaign my friend Gregg pops up online, we connect to chat with the headsets and he joins my game and plays right along with me. That was pretty cool. He has a Wii too. I should check it out before I dump on it I know (don't hate me Duane) but I can't get past the graphics from Nintendo and nothing seemed to change. But then again I like the complex more real type of experience and not everyone is like that. There are TONS of Zelda and Mario fans out there (Zelda is supposed to be amazing in the Wii).

It's crazy! I love it! I also love that you can, as you said, get both for the price of the PS3, AND, Sony is STILL taking a loss on every PS3 sold! LOL!

I was skeptical about it, but it's crazy fun. Like Microsoft says, why buy a PS3 when you can buy a Wii AND an Xbox 360 for the same price? My friend bought me Gears of War for the Xbox 360.
