Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii: which is the better buy?

You know, I don't really care, since I can't stand video games. I played Myst a bit, and I even worked on a Myst knock-off ("Welcome to the Future", aka WTTF, aka WTF). And, I played Doom a bit too. But, overall, I consider "gaming" to be a pathetic nerd activity. Rather than playing a, for instance, Mountain Biking game, I'd rather be mountain biking. Instead of watching a computerized image on a TV, I can be the one zooming down trails and cleaning tough switchbacks without even the hint of a dab.

Plus, if you go to a mall trying to get a Sony Playstation 3, you might get caught up in the PS3 riots. In fact, if you live in Boston, they might have to raise your taxes if Sony doesn't pay up. If you try to get a Nintendo Wii, you'll be surrounded by nerds.

But, after all that, if you really want one, the easy way to get a Sony Playstation 3 is to buy one on eBay. The average sale price is running around $1000, but if you really want one now, that might be your only option.
