RE: PS3 or XBOX 360 ?
The Xbox 360 doesn't have a self loading tray? I can't imagine it without one, what does it look like, the console looked perfect to suck up disks to me, whereas the PS3, I thought would have one popping out.

The Wii one is extremely clever, from its LCD lights to the way it positions the disk.

I know this is a late response, but the PS3 hard drive is actually an absolute doddle to remove. Simply prise off the small cover on the left end (viewed from the front), flip the handle up, slide and remove! What's more, is a standard SATA laptop drive ;)

And no warranty stickers need removing.

And I know because I have a PS3, and removed the hard drive, just to see what it was.

Edit: I've uploaded a picture, linked because it's a biggie.

By the way, I forgot about the little screw.

That being said the PS3 controller isn't very good. The Xbox is slightly better, yet doesn't look as slick. But the Wii has the best controller without a doubt, it is so comfortable and extremely fun.

Wii is superior!

(by the way, I rly think xbox 360 is much better than PS3)

Drawn into the darkness here with your eyes on the prize at stake.
Faint hearts on an endless path letting go of the ones we break.
