Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or Nintendo Wii?

The current state-of-art video game systems pose a bit of a quandary to those of us who did not grow up entrenched in such technological advances. So, here, in a nutshell, is your basic lesson on what's what in the gaming war!

XBOX 360 (M

NINTENDO WII

A NEW WAY TO PLAY! The Wii lacks the power of the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360; it doesn't do DVD movies or HD, but it certainly makes up for it in the way it plays! Wii's primary controller actually detects motion and rotation in three dimensions, making it a truly interactive experience---with a flick of the wrist, you swing a baseball bat or tennis racket. Send a golf ball flying over the fairway as you follow-thru. Players are truly part of the game!

Plus Features: More affordable than the others!--Ready to play on any TV-- Innovative Controllers!--Backwards compatible with Gamecube games, controllers + memory cards--Can also download older games from N64 and other systems--DVD-enable version is expected in 2007.

Con: No HD or DVD player
