I want to upgrade from the Wii for my kids this Christmas. I’m buying used. Should I go PS3 or Xbox?

Neither. *PS4/Xbone, unless your okay with them trashing you in their twitter feeds.

*( I am of course joking here.)

Do they play games online? If so, go PS3. Doesn't cost anything to play online.

That bumps the price up too much. I’m a cheap bastard.

Both great. I was on Xbox 360 purely because of Forza. Everything else you could pretty much get for both consoles. The PS3 has Gran Turismo 6 now too so it would be a tough choice.

To be quite honest I just took up the PS2 (2 not 3) again and I’m having an absolute blast with it. Depending on how young your little ones are you might not need to even get something as new as a PS3 or Xbox 360.

All I know for sure is if you get either of those you MUST get Need For Speed Hot Pursuit.

Kinja'd!!!

Need For Speed Most Wanted is another one I’d STRONGLY recommend.

Kinja'd!!!

Don’t bother with NFS The Run or NFS Rivals the both sucked ass.

Wait, I just read that last one. You fuckin’ serious Mr. ‘Liddy_B4_Chanel? An iPad won’t qualify as reliable transportation when you have to seek employment somewhere you tool.

Goddamn...just...they’re my parents now. You don’t deserve them. You’re an orphan now Mr. Liddy.

Ask them which one they prefer, it should solve your conundrum.

Most Wanted was mostly good. But the people who said that was a valid successor to Burnout Paradise were a bunch of lying liars who lie with lies.

You can probably get a good deal on a wii U. My son loves the one we got for him and they’ve been out long enough you can probably find a used one somewhere + you can still play your old wii games on it!

*hides*

I’ve never played Burnout paradise.

But I found Most Wanted to be VERY good with a good car selection and an open world game play it was great.

I personally had the 360 but you can’t really go wrong with either platform.

Another guy here recommended the Wii U and I support that as well, especially if your kids like Nintendo. It’ll probably come in at a higher cost than a 360/PS3 but I doubt it would be that much more. Plus, it’ll be backwards compatible with all the Wii games you have already.

Check pawn shops. Ones around here are typically cheaper than ebay or used game stores.

Xbox controllers require A As so unless your kids are old enough to manage pulling a recharge rotation on a separate charger you’ll be buying one time use ones. PS3 are USB rechargeable.

If you happen to be in New Zealand, I’ll sell you mine for $1. It has Kinect, and I’ve only turned it on twice. 1st time to make an account and try out Kinect, and 2nd time to delete my account. It still has the unused Xbox Live Gold thing.

Honestly I feel that the 360 has a lot more amily friendly games. Things like Viva Pinata are amazing and awesome and vividly fun.

How old? I never had a 360, but Playstation had the Uncharted games, which are brilliant. They’re like Indiana Jones movies; can be enjoyed by kids and adults.

Thanks. That’s a big factor for me. I’ve got dozens of rechargeables around the house that are impossible to manage.

eh, I sleep at 3. No idea why (actually it’s probably because uni screwed up my perception of time). And now I’ve gotten used to it.
