PS3 is the best choice because it truly is next-gen gaming. It has more features and options than Wii. Wii is basically a GameCube with a new controller, Miyamoto admitted this. PS3 has a hard drive, it is backwards compatible, it can connect to the internet to download software(like games and emulators, so you could play old SEGA games on it). Has bluetooth controllers and remote, so basically you could be in another room and they would work. Also PS will always have a great game selection, Wii will rely on the same titles that have saved Nintendo's butt for 10 years. That means more Zelda and Mario.

Either way. I would get a Wii first truthfully. It's much cheaper, and most everyone like Legend of Zelda and some Nintendo games. Also, the PS3 is nice and all, but I still think its a bit overpriced. The 360 is amusing but there aren't a whole lot of impressive games for it yet, and the original xbox seemed very aimed at the average college guy than anything else, not that I didn't enjoy it but I didn't see a whole lot of diversity like on the PS2. Besides... if you plan on online gaming... I would stray away from the 360. The average system life is 4 years... the difference between the PS3 and 360 won't matter if you get online for the 360 for the entire time you have it.
I would suggest Wii, if not only for price, but for other reasons as well. I feel the PS3 is wonderful but a bit overpriced. Usually, there aren't too many amazinf launch titles for any systems... but I worked at GameStop as a manager for 2 1/2 years. I remember the PS2 launching and having problems. While the PS3 will probably have more diversity with games... I'd suggest a Wii first. Nintendo usually doesn't disappoint. Let a buddy get a PS3 first and test the waters before you ask your dad to fork over $700. Even though it was offered to you for a gift... thats still a lot of money to pay for a game console.

The decision is ultimately yours.
However, I would personally buy a Wii this Christmas, not a PS3.
There are many reasons for this. I'm sure you already know that the Wii offers a unique experience, with advanced motion-sensoring controllers that make each game a new, and fresh experience.
However, in terms of finance, Wii is definitely the better choice. Wii costs half as much as the CHEAPER model of the PS3.
Wii costs $250, and that is with a game packed in (Wii Sports).
PS3 will come in two packages, $500 and $600 (20 gigabyte and 60 gigabyte hard drive, respectively).
So, theoretically, if you wanted to, you could buy a Wii, one additional controller, and FOUR additional games (not including the one you get free), and that would be equal to a PS3, without games.

I would go with the wii as Zelda:twilight princess is out by christmas yessss which is worth buying the the wii for, however if you have a gamecube hold off as twilight princess is also being released on that.the ps3 has pretty much no eyecatching opening titles and you will be waiting till mid 2007 till you get a good game.
My advice buy the wii if you dont have a gamecube if you do buy a ps3 but you will be waiting for a while for a good title.

All I Can Say Is Look At The Games Coming Out For Each System. Also Look At Games Coming Out For The Same Systems. Lastly Look Up More Info On Each System. I Personally Want Both.

I say Wii.It has a lot to it.It has good original games rather than all of those games where you just shoot people like on the other systems.It also has a better release line up to.Once again I say go with Wii.PS3 is also expensive unless you want to make your dad pay all that money.Also there are gonna be more units of the Wii out compared to the smaller amount of units for the PS3.Unless they suddenly speed up.

Tell your dad to get you a Wii and a 360. It will cost the same as a PS3.

Get the PlayStation 3 if you a hardcore gamer. Get the Wii if you love crappy technolgy with terrible games and horrible controller. And no hard drive no dvd drive no hd so last gen Wii.
