PS3 Slim or Xbox 360

Ratchet and Clank: Future is a great game IMO. And its been out a while, I think they just dropped the price on it.

 

made a good choice to go with the ps3 but as far as games, maybe sports games? or the new playstation moves stuff? but idk i dont usually play games for younger kids haha, my brother is 12 and he plays Call of duty a lot idk if you want your 10 and 11 year old children playing that game

 

Ratchet and Clank, Mod Nation Racers, Little Big Planet. my little nephew loves to play Grand Theft Auto 4, but i dunno how strict you are on what your kids play

 

xbox is fun. but microsoft and the customer service is a joke. they continue to knowingly put out defective crap and just extend the warranty.

ive had to send my xbox in about six times this year. the last time they sent me a broken xbox that wouldnt work. i called them. told them it was broken. sent it back that same day. they later said that i tampered with it and voided my warranty and charged me 250 bucks.

fuck xbox. "buy american" my ass. made in china and outsourced to india. buy the playstation.

 

by the way i am a die hard xbox user and halo player so it means a lot that i am saying go for the PS3.

 

PS3 for the family/all around entertainment/casual gamer (as in you like to play online but it's not your life).



360 if you're a hardcore gamer and it's all you do.

 

I think I saw a deal for a bundle of Little Big Planet with a second controller for just $5 more than the controller itself! I'll pick this up with the system.

The kids usually get gift cards from their aunts and uncles so they can shop for Ratchet and Clank.

I can't wait to watch my first Blu Ray movie on my 42" TV!!!!

Cheers.

 

Solid choice OP

 

Sony

 

Holly crap!! I noticed an offer at Future Shop this week. When you purchase the PS3 you get the extra controller with the Little Big Planet game for free!!! Just saved $60

 

PS3 hands down... blueray player alone is worth it

 

LittleBigPlanet
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Rock Band

 

I am also an XBOX 360 owner and love it, but the main problem with XBOX 360 is it is pretty much at its ceiling as far as what the developers can do with the processor that the 360 has, PS3 on the other hand has just really starting getting into what the cell processor can really handle so things will just get better and better as time passes. PS3 hands down especially since you are in need of bluray

 

black opps and assassins creed brotherhood

 

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
I used to play the previous Hot Pursuit when I was about that age and loved it. And the new one looks sick.
For me Playstation has always lead the way.
Merry Christmas!!!

 

PS3, and the PS2 and PS1 before that, have just worked as they should. Never had any issues.
xBox may cost more to add on things like wireless, sub fees for the online gaming. The controllers are weird.

Other than 'exclusive' xBox games, I don't see the value of that system

 

Kids are loving the new PS3!!

I hooked it up to the LCD TV through the new Sony 7.1 Home Theater system I got for Christmas.

Thanks for your opinions guys!!

 

Just to add fuel to the 360 vs PS3 debate, I like the exclusive titles on Xbox more. If Gears of War was on Ps3 though I probably wouldn't have an Xbox. Also, Halo FTW
