Realisitcally which one would you get more use & VFM from? ... Which are you in need for ? Pc probably ?

I'd wait on the " Wii " front.. or get a Xbox 360 and mod it instead :ok

Mine cost £240 and well below the 90quid mark now, which is also great cus im rebuilding a media center, Use the money to rebuild and then use the current pc for a media center somewhere to stick all of your mp3`s , divxs, dvds and record tv, the only thing that hasnt come down in price is the power supply i brought, i paid £83.22 for it and its now £88.11.
