Thoughts drifting back and forth

I just cashed in my full jar of change and i was wondering what system to pick up.  I’ve been loyal to Sony for many years and have an expansive collection of ps and ps2 games but i think a change could be good.  Recently I purchased a Wii and played it for a while, but i’m still feeling wii-tarded becuase there are not any games out for the system.  This makes me look at the two bigger badder next gen consoles and question which one i should purchase.

xbox 360 has had a few years to push out some alright games.  I will probably annoy fanboys by saying that i’m not a huge fan of Halo.  I think that without bots, like in time splitters 2 & 3, or fighting people online, there isn’t much there in a FPS.  I’ve also heard that the points system or awards are a good thing but i haven’t played much 360 so i’m not sure.  Also i’m not sure whether to get an Elite for $450 or a pro for $379.  I’m not sure if i need HDMI or a large harddrive with the xbox or if i wait and they will be standard soon.  Also will i need to buy a HD drive to play future games?  ugh.

PS3 looks pimp and has a blueray player built right in.  Large harddrive, wireless adapter, and controllers gives this console great peripherals.   The system was tested in extreme heat and cold, but still kept playing proving that it is a tank.  The games i want to play will be exclusive ps3 games like MGS series, ratchet and clank, Final fantasy, and future rockstar games.  The only problem is that there are no games out for it yet and the price of the system is huge!  I’ve read rants about how no one is going to develope games for the ps3 and the hardware is power wasted.  Should i buy another waste of a system like the Wii?

So there are my arguments.  Please leave comments and help me decide.  I do like some games on the 360 and i am almost persuaded to buy one but i want others to help.
