Thank everyone for your response.
From the responses, I am going to forget trying to watch the blackout games.
I am thinking for a 7 and 8 year old, the PS3 with a few games may be the better option, and I can also use it as a blu-ray player.
Is there any reason you're not considering a Wii? The Wii (and it's games) is probably more in line with 7 & 8 year olds.
I'm a PS3 owner, so if it's between the PS3 and the 360 I would go with the PS3. If you've got grandkids than I'm sure they have Blu-ray movies...
Maybe you should get the same system so they can bring their favorite games over?
WWE 12 coming out November 22nd has got a great roster. Brock Lesnar is on there along with Arn Anderson and more.
