If you could get a console? Which one and why?
I'm thinking maybe the Xbox 360 or the Wii

But a PS2 is a good choice if you want a great selection of games at a seriously low price point. ($100 for the console? $10-$40 per game?)
as for lack of storage on the Wii... SD for ~$8 per gig. . The price point of XBox 360's 20GB HDD is $~4 per gig. SD is 2x per gig, but you can buy it in chunks, I.E. "Hmm, need another 1gb? Drop $16 bucks and you have it + more. Xbox 360? Need another 1GB? Drop $90 .
Plus, SD prices are dropping like rocks. I expect to be able to buy a 4GB SD card for ~$20 bucks within a year.
If you have to get a console today and play alone usually, get the 360.

Here is the quick and dirty of it:
PC = Great depth, detail and specialization to the point that it can even be too overwhelming with options/controls and so specialized that its mainstream is pigeon-holed to first person shooters and MMO games with a few RTS's here and there.
Wii = Far less depth and difficulty, but has a sense almost child like glee and wonderment to its titles that other systems lack.
360/PS3 = Fall somewhere in the middle of those two.
Then theres the genre of games you like, media features, online features, control scheme, etc...
