Personally, I'm waiting for the Wii, because:
1. Its only $250
2. I like Nintendo
3. I'm hoping the motion-sensing controller means everyone will enjoy playing it (i.e., girlfriends ) because it's more intuitive with less buttons.

Depending...From what I understand, the Blue Ray DVD players are priced more than the system.
