Thanks for any replies.
Answer
Both systems appeal to different markets.
The Playstation 3 is a Blu-Ray player capable of streaming music, videos or pictures off your computer and displaying them onto your TV. It can upscale standard definition DVD's to 720 and 1080 resolutions. It is able to download movie trailers from the Playstation store. It's more than a gaming console, it has the potential (some already exhibited) to be the center of your home entertainment center. Video is output purely digital via HDMI along with audio. Audio support is up to 7.1 surround sound. The Playstation appeals more to people who enjoy high definition gaming along with surround sound audio which allows you to be fully immersed into the experience. Alot of the games released are for a more mature audience. The Playstation interfaces with the Playstation Portable. You are able to turn on, off and control your Playstation 3 with your PSP. This includes watching movies, viewing photos or listening to music. This allows you to take your PSP anywhere in the world, access the Internet wirelessly and interface with your PS3. The PS3 controller supports the ability to sense both rotational orientation and translational acceleration along all three dimensional axes so there is some feedback with the controller and interaction with games. There is a rumble enabled controller coming soon. Some versions of the PS3 support backward compatability with the huge library of PS1 and PS2 games. You are also able to install Linux and stream games that are installed onto your computer to your Playstation 3 and play them using a USB keyboard and mouse attached to it.
The Wii on the other hand does basically one thing and one thing very well - games. It does not offer any sort of movie playback - high definition or even standard DVD's. It does not support putting video out digitally, it uses RCA or Component for video, both are analog. It outputs display at 480, it will not output at 720 or 1080 resolutions. It does not support anything more than 2 channels of audio. Most games are rated E or appeal to a younger audience with less violence, gore and language. You cannot play any music on it, stream any videos or photos to it and then onto your TV or home audio system. The Wii does not interface at all with the Nintendo DS. The Wii does support GameCube games and they have and are releasing more NES games that you can purchase and play.
As you can see, both systems offer things the other doesn't and both have different places they will end up being used. I personally purchased a Playstation 3 for Blu-Ray movie playback. I have since enabled it as a streaming movie, music and photo player. I also enjoy some gaming on it, although I am primary a computer gamer. I purchased a Wii and while very interactive, found the experience to be fairly shallow and at times when I didn't feel like being interactive, unable to do so. I returned it. I don't have kids (more of a Wii friendly console) or an interest in the interactivity the Wii allows and don't generally find the Nintendo library unappealing. I prefer high definition movie playback, standard definition movie upscaling, 7.1 audio surround sound and 1080 resolution gaming. I'm glad you enjoy your Wii. The key to any system is to be happy with it and make sure it fits your needs/wants.

I have a semi proffessional video camera that uses hdv tapes, whats the best way to transfer them?
Sal
whats the best way to transfer them for editing and then putting it on dvd so that I retain the image and sound quality?
sorry, a bit new to all this. thnaks if you can help:)
Answer
Connect a firewire cable to the camcorder's DV port and the computer's firewire port.
USB won't work. USB-to-firewire cable/converteradapter things won't work.
Launch the DV/HDV capable video editor and import or capture the video.
This will be uncompressed, 1080i, high definition video. 60 minutes of this will consume about 44 gig of your computer's hard drive space.
After editing, you can export or render to whatever you want or need. For uploading to a video sharing site (like YouTube), an h.264 encoded MOV or AVI file at high quality is good.
For a regular standard definition DVD, you can use that same h.264 file with a DVD rendering app (like iDVD or DVD Maker) to make a DVD-player readable standard definition disc (VOB file).
For high definition video, you should render out to a "Blu Ray" format (MTS) file and burn to a Blu Ray disc using a Blu Ray burner (LaCie makes good ones). This disc will playback only in a Blu Ray player.
Since you did not tell us which camcorder, computer, operating system or video editor, there's not much more detail we can provide...
