This RE5 thing is pretty good. I really like having a partner once you figure out how to use her.

I'm not a gamer so I need some help. My son wants an X-Box 360 for Christmas. Says they run about $200.00. Wants Madden, Call to War and Guitar Hero.
Wheres the best place to buy these? Ebay?

Just go get one at your local electronics big box store. Sam's Club has one in a bundle with Guitar Hero and Lego Batman for a very good deal.
BUT If you have an HD TV and would like to watch movies in the Highest-def possible, and download movies from 3.99 and surf the web and play multi-player games for free, AND play ALL those games your son mentioned PLUS LittleBIGPlanet and several exclusive HUGE title games. Get a PS3. Yes, it does start at $399. but if you look at XBOX after you buy the necessary peripherals to match the features of a PS3, it is less than or equal to the value of 360 WITHOUT the durability issues (look up Red Ring of Death). Just ask him: What about a PS3? See what he says. And, see GURU's thread about how to get a PS3 for $249. |

He's 16 years old and I'm not a gamer so its really hard for me to talk him into something else. I'll look at Guru's thread.

Be patient and wait for the sales. TE is a dirty shilling whore, so take what he says with a grain of salt.

Just sayin. And as far as what Hamas Jerkins is sayin'.. I do make ads for PS3 so I am biased, but I did start my post with telling you what the best bundle deal for that other system is. But do some homework and make sure you are getting a great value for your whole family for the long run. I remember being 16 and what the most important thing was. (His friends probably have XBox and he wants to game with them) but PS3 is like the BMW compared to xbox is a Honda. So he might be in the shiznit cool at school if you get him a PS3. Talk to him, do your homework. just sayin' |

Which is probably a huge draw for any 16 year old. Oh cool, you got a PS3; well, we're all gonna hop online and play Call of Duty...you can come over and sign in as my guest if you want. |

But if he's 16 like I was 16, he's finger-bangin' the ladies and working after school so he can buy SUHWEET chrome parts for his lowered '66 bug and gaming once in a while, just to pas the time while dowing a 6-pack of BUD and a bag of O'Grady's potato chips. |

How many great exclusives have you had this year? Fable 2 and GoW2 (which many Xbots just said was not that great too soon and just like a few extra missions after GOW1) we had LBP, MGS4, GTA5 Prologue, MLB08, MotorStorm Pacific Rift, Resistance 2 (they STEAL our whole planet!), SingStar (yeah I said it, FOCK lips, Lips is teh sux) Ant good game on Xbox is a third party title. You only hate PS3 because you cannot afford one. |

The PS3 is $200 more expensive and 95% of it's games are on the 360. It's not really worth it unless your son cares about Blu Ray. But really, what 16 year old gives a shit about Blu Ray?

I cannot believe we are sitting here arguing about this when a guy just broke a jar up his butthole on the webcam.
