X box if you want the 'cool factor' of a couple of games, and if you want a
console that looks like a Reebok step and sounds like a hovercraft.

PS2 has lots of games some good, some dire - bit like the PS1, and Sony are
pretty top (I was a big PS1 fan)

Personally I have a Gamecube. The nintendo home produced games are excellent
and as always go for pure gameplay rather than flashy graphics (which it
does too btw ;) ) and nintendo have never felt the need to go for violent or
gory games (they do exist on the GC but are'nt a major feature like on the
PS2)

Having said that I'm also a fan of the Dreamcast, I got mine for £15, you
can get emulators for all the 8 and 16bit consoles off the web and games and
accessories are dirt cheap - more money for Lego :)

played LOTS of games over the years ;) -

We're looking to update the kids console for Christmas, so it's either a • PS2 or
an X-Box. Anyone have any opinions either way? We had a PS1 for a long • time, so
I'm more inclined to keep with it (plus the backward compatability). While • I do
occasionally wander into console games (and online, multiplayer has me
interested), it's more for them than us.

Thanks!
