Games that interest me so far on the Wii are Res Evil 4 (not played any version of it yet, might as well make it the new-fangled one), Paper/Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime Corruption. Maybe Battalion Wars, and very very faded Maybe Mario Galaxy (as i'm not a fan of the Italian.)
But EeePC means really cool posing in Starbucks. "look at me, i have a micro sized laptop, a beret, and an over-expensive mug of mud! I'm deep and meaningful like a rock!". NO. But it does mean i've got something that's less PDA and more Laptop, for holidays and the like. I bought the PDA (Axim 50v) so that i've got something to take on holiday, to transfer and save pictures throughout the day and then email them home for storage. However it's a little fiddly with that titchy-tiny screen and a twig-like stylus that just begs to be snapped in half while doing a Hulk impression. This is a titchy-tiny Laptop with miniature baby keys that i'll need a dialling stick for.
Based on my hot internet matlockery, the EeePC is a super light functional laptop that sells for less than $200 bucks, which is actually kind of impressive. Obviously you can't use it to play Crysis or anything, but if you want to use the internet on the go and don't like squinting at the tiny screen of an iPhone or Blackberry, and mashing the keys with your giant sausage fingers is too difficult, this might be the product for you. I know it would be easier when I have to go do work away from the office to work on this instead of hauling around my work laptop.
Ok, so everyone says Wii. I'm thinking that Wii it is. Although it seems that there's STILL a shortage in the UK. Time to see if i can get one imported.

Wii
Wii has many good games no other console has. EeePC is just a PC but small, right?
I'd say Wii wins no contest, especially if you like video games and stuff.

I'd still go with the Wii though.
Get the Galaxy player.
Galaxy Player? Bwahaha, new name for the Wii :P
