    Thanks all, for the information, I think I like the sound of the PS3 better, will get looking around for a good deal now.

    If anyone knows of one I would really appreciate it if you let me know.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    It really comes down to what games does he want to play?

    The best games on the PS3 and Xbox tend to be things like Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2, played online, and they're not suitable for a six year old.

    Would a Wii potentially be better for the next couple of years?

    By all means get a PS3 if you secretly want it for yourself to watch Blue Ray discs on and so on :)

  • If he's bored of the Wii then he'll get bored of a 360/PS3.

    Dont let the Red Ring of Death scare you into picking a PS3 either as PS3 gets the Yellow Light of Death.

    It depends how you store them. Obviously keep them off the carpet and dont put them in cupboards in tv stands and stuff when they're turned on.
