sony PS3

Sony dropped the ball big time with the PS3. They tried to make it to clever and has lost out on sales for the kids who just want a good games machine.
Its far to much for a 5 year old as there is no games the he would want to play. If it really is for a 5 year old then you have to get the wii, its utterly fantastic for that age group and bags of family fun.

ive had a wii console good for the kids games and interactive stuff for serious gaming not so good now sold it though to pay for my biking habit.

I have never liked anything nintendo have ever done. (Ok bought a N64 purely for Goldeneye)

Xbox. Got a decent PC and the rest is average arcade americana.

PS3, I'll buy for the religious experience that is Gran Turismo. November??

He has a few consoles, old x box, ps1, ps2, gameboy advance, nintendo ds, game cube and wii.

i find the wii rubbish now TBH and my 5year old and my 10year old never play it now my son is living on the gamecube now how old is that!!! but the games are brill.

if he wants a ps3 i'd get him one because i'm a big kid too and i like my games but i know what you mean about child friendly games.

i can see how the xbox 360 is temping tho at £129

The PS3 is sweeeeeeet. But may not suit a 5 year old.
The best thing is there aren't any games out yet that take full advantage of its capabilities and so in a couple of years time the PS3 will still be at the pinacle of gaming when your son is a wee bit older.
Plus we all really know you'll be playing it too
A couple of games are coming out next year that will utilise the PS3 more than any other game yet. If you type them in on youtube you will see what I mean.
They are Prototype and Eighth Day.
