I have spent a full week with both the Nintendo Wii and the Sony Playstation 3. I am really happy with both. Really.

Most my disappointments with the PS3 have now fallen to the side. I am really starting to like this machine. Playing 'Resistance' for hours on a 55" 1080p television is like night and day compared to playing it on a standard-def monitor. What looked bland and uninspired before now has details and depth. I'm diggin' it. The game is way more fun than I initially found and online play is nuts! There must be some sort of hypno-ray emanating from the PS3 that has changed my mind.

As for the Wii, just play it with a house full of holiday friends and family. It's a whole other beast. Everyone loved it so such, we camped out to get a couple more for holiday gifts. Being able to download 'Donkey Kong' and 'Bomberman '93' (two of my favorite games) was the icing on the cake. Oh, and 'Excite Truck' (which not many people were excited about) is still a complete blast for me... I love this game. I just wish Nintendo would hurry and get the Forecast and News Channels working!
