Default Nintendo Wii, Laptop or a Digital Camera

Which of these 3 shall I buy tomorrow?

I really need ALL 3. I got paid today £915. I thought I'd treat myself

I really need a new Laptop but I badly want a Wii and I said I'll get one from like March.

I'm stuck what to get -- I'm getting it tomorrow too!

If you know any cheap Laptops/Digital Camera's, I'll happily take a look.

Well you could buy a laptop and a digital camera, or laptop and a wii...
If i was you I would get a laptop that was around 500-600, and then spend the remaining 200 or a Wii or good camera.

Go out on a splurge and buy all three!

If it was me I'd probably be torn in between the laptop and the Wii.

I know that on websites like Currys and Comet they do cheap Refurbished laptops that cost around £100-200 I THINK, but i can't be sure.

Wii's ussually cost £180 brand new everywhere and I'm guessing depending on the quality of the camera you're looking at around £50-£100?

If you look around in stores and online I reckon you could get all 3 for around £500.

Get the laptop. They won't significantly go down in price from now for a new spec, whereas a Wii will eventually go down more and more.

Or, get both a laptop and a wii, and then maybe a digital camera if you find a cheap good one?

Buy all 3
I'd wait for the Wii though, there will be some good deals in a few months in the run up to Christmas

Agreed with the majority. The Wii does get boring...but only if you play it non-stop.

I'd buy a laptop anyway.

Get a Macbook, not a Laptop!

You can get a digital camera and a wii much cheaper, but with £915 you could buy even an iMac. mmmmm.

Don't get a Laptop - you'll spend too much time trying to fix viruses and all that sort of stuff.. i did anyway :P

Yeah, Macs rule.
You don't need virus protection as its not vulnerable to them. Well if I were you i would get one, its worth spending a bit more money on one.
You could get really bored after a couple of weeks using a Wii.
