Any thoughts? | If you get the Kinect bundle get the one with the 250gb HDD..plenty of storage so you can load the games to the HDD and not hear the roar of the drive when you're playing ...prolongs drive life as well...plus if he gets to where he wants to download some arcade games off Xbox live those can be around 1gb and ive got one that is 2gb is size.. | |

| I don't think anyone's considered that the kid's 8. He in all likelihood won't be playing that much online for several more years.
There's a good chance that these systems may be moving on to their next generation by then; if that's the case, how much consideration should online play really have in this decision? |

Yes, he wants the PS3, but it's mainly because he thinks he will be doing a bunch of online gaming with his neighbors. I just don't think he will. I think he will have more fun with the Kinect. Isn't it my job as the parent to help him make the better decision? | |

It's possible to tic tac reasons for either system all day without coming to a conclusion, so personally I would make the decision as if you were buying it for yourself. | |

| lol yup. but you can still get a good deal on them. Gamestop takes anything newer than PS2 if you've got anything. plus join the rewards program and you get discounts on used games and more trade in value when you trade games in. It's free and totally worth it.
