I’m saving up my money to buy Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock. I hope I like it!
I agree with Anonymous! Wii is the best. Then PSP/DS
ok the wii and ds are the most interactive , with motion sensors, wifi, touch screns, microfones and more, the psp ps3 and 360 are “fun” but have no true interaction, its push buttons untill your fingers are numb besides the psp batterie lasts A LOT LESS and the umb’s are more likely to be scatched and unreadable
wii = #1
WII AND DS LITE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the wii and xbox 360 are the best of the consoles. the ps3 has good graphics and has a high definition dvd player in its hard drive but it hardly has any games.
your all are wrong 360 is in first place then ps3 then wii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wii rocks
I have I hard time deciding betwen the wii and the DS.The wii has good graphics but I choose the DS because it has two screns and a touch scren.
you people are all wong ps2 and nitendo ds are the best.
