sBanjo, I am PS2 fanboy and never brought xbox/gamecube. I haven't brought PS3 yet because of two reasons: they are too pricey right now (400 dollars compared to 280 for xbox) and there isn't enough rpg games. I still play ps2 only for rpgs games.

Before I dont like MS Xbox like you mentioned about their issues with hardware, ring of death, etc... Then I found out many of my deaf friends switched from ps to xbox platform. I asked them about "issues" they told me it is not big deal. Of course I m not going to buy solely based on their word so I went out and research little more info about Xbox. I found out that MS have reissued and fixed their consoles to fix up the 'overheat' problems. Members from such as circuitycity or bestbuy, etc.. suggested that you check series # before you buy xbox 360 whereas they suggest to buy xbox model above 0737. I brought xbox model #0737 two months ago and has no problem since.

It boils down on what is your preference:

1. Xbox360 for superior online playing - achievement points (braggin rights), tons of awesome first person playing, and of course madden

2. Wii - legend of zelda, very fun and innovative motion sensor, and family themes games.

3. PS3 - the latest technology and best potential. Heavy hitters such as MSG, Final Fantasy, DMC, etc.. will come out soon.

Personally, I would say for now - go for xbox360 bec that s where so large deaf community are play right now. PS3 next year when heavy hitters are released and developers are able finally harassed the power of PS3. As for Wii, i personally am not into family themes games but it depends on person's preference really. You can't really go wrong with these systems as all of them are excellent consoles.
