Hiya

The wii's are really hard to get hold of now and the standard 180 model from argos is going for 250+ on ebay cos nintendo cant keep up with demand.

The probs with the 360 is that theyre a damn good console but are subject to the three red lights of doom failure. Although Microsoft have extended their warranty to cover this problem, the volume is so great that the consoles are having to be shipped abroad for fixing (believe it is a heat problem) and so you can go without ya console for months.

The ps3 is mint. Aleks is right about the 40gb v 60gb, but apparently they are going to stop manufacturing the 60gb soon (?). Not sure the 40gb has the blue ray capability either which in itself is worth about 150 quid. Online gaming is mint, (would say better than 360) and graphics are superb. There are a few other differences between the two versions as well, but think theyre mainly cosmetic. Think the main aim was to get the price down to compete with the wii.

Would well recommend the ps3 over the 360 but it is pricier. Got the ps3 on a deal through Game or gamestation in accy, 2 blue ray movies, 3 games, 60gb console for 350. If you go on their website, they do online offers which you get an extra game

Hope this helps lol. Ya talking to the bird that currently has a ps3, ps2, xbox premium and wii in her house lol. (bearing in mind the 360 has 3 rings of death and wii was mistaken for a money box by my 3 year old and had pennies put in the game slot lmao) (didnt lmao at the time mind lol)
