(OT) game console advice?

Don't get a Gamecube unless you want your son to grow up as a japanese homosexual with a very high pitched voice. And an exceptionally large head.

Actually, scratch that. Get him a gamecube and any of Resident Evil series for his 5th birthday. He'll just stay in his room for the next six years, quivering. Think of all the problems that would solve!

For serious though, my mate has a game cube and I'd rather my children played those cute fluffy Nintendo games than what else is available. My impression is that the GC is more kid friendly than the PS2... They can't be that expensive either?

did some browsing over at the official Wii website, I must say it suits my requirements for a console perfectly. Can always use a pc for those 'realistic' and 'emmersive' real time strategies, not that I would anyways.

Xbox dog XBOX 360 all the way

Slap a flat LCD in the mix with some serious surround sound and you'll be sprung for about 8 months

Xbox 360 - all of exclusive PS games like GTA are coming out on the 360 befoer they come out on the PS3 - plus Halo is a must have if you're going to be a gamer

The new Splintercell for the 360 will blow all games out of the water

Oh I love video games

I've been enjoying it actually, but my persistant 4yo talks about it from the moment he wakes up and trying to get the bloody gems is becoming a pain in the arriss

That put a smile on my face. Godbless you and yours dude!

I have a ps2 and a handfull of games but I rarely play it. I do enjoy gaming, but I play online with my mac. I'm still hooked on ghost recon - the original one. I'm even a member of a clan or whatever. I play a bit of Raven shield as well. I'm all about the first person tactical shooters I guess.

Lately I've been all about call of duty (1) united offensive. Online play is just too cool man.

wow. the wii looks awesome. zelda will always strike my fancy.

if you get the ps2 and don't know of any kid titles to get, go straight for Katamari Damacy. this game is a must for anyone with a ps2. your age is of no concern. simply fun and great and replayable because it is so fun and great!

making it for the wii would be pure bliss.

i heard that people who played katamari damacy immediatly went queer.

What about those who were queer to begin with? Did they go straight?

What happened to the bi-sexuals?

You didn't hear that? They got turned inside out. It was quite messy.... Settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
