You don't read the posts do you? He already has a Wii.... He's wondering which other system to get since his kids, like myself, got over the Wii in about 5 minutes.

I have had both as well. PS3 is gone, not going to bother with blu ray and replacing my movie collection, I don't even buy movies any longer. Streaming or a netflix program is easier. Blu ray won't last long enough to matter, ON Demand is the future.

If its for games, XBox 360, no contest. Pretty much all the best exclusives have gone to the 360 (yey metal gear). On games that are on both systems, I would take the 360 again. XBox Live is worth the pay service for how shitty PS3's online is. The reliability issues seem to have become much less. They finally got that ring of death issue under control and they will replace it quickly if it does happen. They have been very good about it.

I guess it's what you want to get into... One thing I'll caution him on is that on either live network, your kids may be subjected to language and content that you may not want them to be and which you cannot control. Also, there have been incidents of child predators... just saying. Depending on the ages of your kids of course.

My PS3 plays ps/ps2 games without any cable or software?

Perhaps they fixed that in one of the updates that happens spring on me anytime I wanna play COD online.

And I vote PS3 for various reasons already mentioned in thread.

I love the PS3. Plenty of games, free online, and possibly the the best Blu-Ray player/network media player you can get.
