Do you honestly expect Oblivion to be on the PS2? It has loading times and issues in the 360 version, so it won't stand a show in hell on a console which has less specifications then even the original xbox does.

If you have a 50" HDTV you come off quite wealthy. I'd say PS3, even though I'd recommend a Wii if you want to get the family involved. Oblivion's coming to the PS3, or so I heard, which is great. Nintendo isn't catering for HDTV but it's more of a gameplay console.

If you're short on cash I'd say a 360. PS3 is you want to go all out with high def. It doesn't sound like you want the Wii but more high def gaming, so that's pretty much out of the picture. Either way, just try them out at kiosks and get a feel of what you'll be playing at home.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you end up with a 360, buy Viva Pinata.

It's the most cartoonish game this year, and I'm sure your wife would enjoy playing it as well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
