My preference is for Combat Arms. I was on there for 6hrs solid a couple of times each last week before I realised the time......

Hi Piff Poff

I've got a PSP for when I go away as you can play games, music, store pictures and play films on it. For the family we've got a Wii and it's brilliant. If you want a blu ray player you've got to think about PS3 or XBox for the serious gamer. If I was to do all over again I would buy the Wii for the family. Good luck:thumbsup::thumbsup:

My sons have a PS2, Wii, Xbox 360, Gamecube, PSP and that little hand held Gameboy thing that I think they renamed. :confused: Oh and one of them is a World of Warcraft addict so thats all PC based.

I think it seems to depend on what kind of games your child would be wanting to play, as to what to buy them. The Wii is great as my younger daughters can play it too. Where as the 360 seems to be more social due to the online chatting part. One of my sons likes to have a headset on and chat to his friends while they go on missions shooting others.

Haven't tried the PS3 as they weren't interested in it, and haven't had the PS2 out in ages.

I suppose ask them what games they are interested in, and see which consoles run those games?

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

Did you get one yet? Futureshop and Best Buy are both out of stock online again, and "my" eBay guy has nothing listed, either, now.

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

I'm sick of seeing the adverts for the Wii, when there is none of them about to actually buy.

Whats going on?

Personally have a 360 but then it's not really geared for a teenage girl. You can get the arcade system these days for less than a Wii though it doens't include a hard-drive which you really should have.

If she's going to play a lot and wants 'good' games that aren't just fun for 5 mins or when you have lots of people round, then get a 360 or a PS3 if you really want a Blu-Ray player. Though Wii does have some quality titles there is a lot of dross and me-too games that have been pumped out without much thought. Get Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Boom Blox and that's about it...

In terms of Rock Band - the wii version on a basic level is ok but it's lacking a lot of the things that make the 360 or PS3 version great, ever expanding downloadable content & online play to name two. Guitar Hero World Tour is just out and is comparable to Rock Band with some good reviews coming out, though the Wii version is again not quite stacking up.

Still in Lancashire Steve, but thanks for that.

That sounds like a very good price though. :thumbsup: Cheaper than England.
