Optimal choice is, yes, get both.

If money is an object, however, do some research, look at the games you like, see which system they're on, and save us the arguing.

HD ready means that it is capable of HD, which is what you want.

Also a little off topic but from what i can tell the graphics on the display stands isn't HD it dosn't look nearly as sharp as the same game does on my hd tv. An i went into the menu of one and they hadn't flipped the HD switch on the base of the cable.

But yeah i agree with whatb was said before, Look at the games you like, whether you want HD and what kind of game play, and online you want.

you need an HD tv that is capable, not only of receiving an HD signal, but also, displaying a 1920x1080i resolution. You also need the appropriate cables, eg. hdmi cable

I'd go for the 360. It's heaps fun to play, so is the Wii but I like the Xbox better.

although ive never tried the wii, the graphics on the 360 look amazing on an HDTV. anybody else enter the competition to win one of seven exclusive simpsons xbox 360's?

what competition is that? thatd be an orsum prize. and agreed, ps3/xbox 360 graphics on an hdtv are astounding. i'm playing final fantasy xii now on the ps2 and the graphics are so crap by comparisson even though this game is often considered to have the best graphics of the last generation
