LOL an Drac. I agree if she still young get the wii, But I think the PS3 is an awesome machine, Sony have just released a new film service currently 2000 films available now with 50 films per week being added to rent or buy. Not to bad price wise to rent its about the same as blockbuster £3.50 for 48 hours hire, To buy the film to keep its £11.99.
If the console is going to stay in the livingroom the the PS wins again, It'll blend in nicely with all your other AV. An Xbox SHOULD always be hidden in a bedroom out the way cause its bloody UGLY.
Oh and as far as I'm aware its still the only firmware updatable Blu-ray player on the market which makes it the most future proof Blu-ray player.
P.S If you dont have a HDTV dont buy a xbox or ps honestly the picture on a SD (standard def) TV is shit. I would go as far as saying the difference is comparable to a black and white picture and a colur picture! Gaming in HD is simply breathtaking.
