Play Station or Wii

[Nomad]

I bought a PS3 because my son said I needed it to get 1080 for some reason. I get 1080 from my AppleTV. Not much on Comcast at 1080 it seems or am I wrong about that?

Have you tried watching a Bluray on it? I think the PS3 would be more for Blurays, which look really good and are 1080, but it's not necessarily just for 1080 content.

Hi guys

I have 6 year old twin boys and for Christmas I would like to buy either Play Station or Wii for them.

I read some reviews to be able to pick the one that is more suitable for 6 year olds but not a lot of comparison.

Any suggestions here?

I would get a Wii or wait a little for the WiiU to come out, for kids that age.

The WiiU comes out next month doesn't it?

Get a WiiU, it's the best of both worlds the first party Nintendo games like Mario that are great for kids and it looks like it will have similar 3rd party support as the xbox and PS3

...for your kids age go with Wii. More games and simpler interface.

Thanks guys.

I guess Wii it is then.

Wii by far, the games are easier and far more age appropriate.

I would go with anything other than Nintendo.

I think the problem with Nintendo is that it has that "wow" factor but the problem is that a lot of their best games can be beaten fairly easy and there isn't a lot of replay value which I think is key for a video game.

College is school. Let me guess. Community college?

...he was talkin about 6 yr olds.

And 6 year old can grows up and can say they don't want to play a game or a console anymore. It happens. It happened to me when I would play the Mario games back in the 80s. I would play the game 15 20 min at most because it got boring. Xbox and PS3 has just as much games rated for everyone and are probably cheaper and visually looks better than the Wii.
