Its raining big players in the game console arena now and it all began a year ago with Microsoft’s Xbox 360. This November came PlayStation 3 from Sony and now the Wii from Nintendo. All ready to capture the holiday season but what do you choose from the three?

Cost-wise the Nintendo Wii is the cheapest buy at $250. The next would be Microsoft’s $399 costing Xbox 360. But the winner with the costliest tag are the two versions of Sony PlayStation 3, a $499 entry-level and $599 higher-end machine.

Now for the best online gaming experience it will be the Xbox 360 Live with a full lineup of game downloads and multiplayer options. The PS3 comes with the ultra fast Cell microprocessor and a high-definition Blu-ray DVD player, which will help programmers improve on 3D images and add artificial intelligence so games will look and feel more realistic. Then the Wii, which has a remote controller, that has cutting-edge motion and pointing sensors that allow it to be swung like a golf club or aimed like a gun. Now the choice is yours to make!
