I picked up a 360 Elite, simply because it has a 120gb hd and isn't white - the black looks sick. Gears of War and Soul Caliber 4 are the nuts.
Oh yeah, if you like first person shooters try Dark Sector. It's brutally violent, they banned it in Australia.
free mmo games ftw
check out nexon, gpotato, and aeria games
my favorite right now are combat arms(similar to CoD), rappelz(WoW type of game), and project torque which is a bad ass mmorp racing game

I just double my computer's memory a month ago. Now I can play anything I want, but I stick with the oldies. Mame to play arcade games, ZNES to play SuperNintendo Games... stuff like that.
My take:
Wii: Best for when you people over or parties. Everyone knows about wii sports. But, Mario Kart with 4 people is pretty cool. Also features the nintendo catalog where you can purchase original titles from NES,Snes,n64,Sega,Turbo Graffix16 and Neo Geo. Also compatible with game cube games and controllers.
Cons: HD cables does not make a difference like it does with PS3 and Xbox. Graphics are also a couple steps down. Too many baby games.
PS3: Good for hardcore gamers, if you want a BLU-Ray Player, you might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone and purchase a ps3. Blu ray hd movie player that also upscales regular dvds movies to HD...It also upscales ps2 games to hd . You can download FREE demos on your ps3. If you own a PSP you can hook up a USB and download PSP demos from your PS3.
This is also the only system of the 3 where you can charge your controllers without purchasing a charge kit. you can buy any external usb harddrive and hook it up loaded with music videos , etc...You can buy any brand 2.5 ata harddrive and upgrade the harddrive size for ps3.
cons: Lower game selection (for now), inferrior to xbox with online game play.
360: Best for the hardcore gamer. Nothing compares to xbox live. More games out at the moment. More downloadable games on Xbox Live. Most shooters are better on the console.
Cons: You have to pay for xbox live. (ps3 and wii are free. ) Does not have an internet Browser.THe elite and 360 requires Microsoft harddrives only- for a 20gig it's $100, for the 120 it's $189. Cant upgrade hard drive beyond 120 GB. Uses outdated DVD format.

So you guys will probably laugh at me for my final decision, but I'm loving it so far...
I bought a regular Xbox and swapped out the hard drive for a 320 gig drive and softmodded it. It's badass... I'm using it for a file server (about 50 movies on it so far) and I'm ripping games to the hard drive... have about 30 so far.
Not only did the whole set up only cost me $100 ($50 for the Xbox and $50 for the HD), but I've been playing online for free via xlink.
I figured I would be better off spending $100 instead of $300+... this way I can see if I really feel like playing more games a month from now or if I just toss it aside again. Either way I get a badass media center and file server out of it.
If a month from now I still enjoy it, I'll get the 360.
