  1. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are each coming out with a new system within the next year or so. Microsoft's new XBox 360 will be out on the 22nd of November, The Sony PlayStation 3 will be out in the spring maybe, and the Nintendo Revolution will most likely be out in the fall. So most likely there will be deals on the curent models.

     

    As for which is better, that really depends on what your kids like, as each system has advantages and disadvantages.

     

    PS2 - Oldest of the three current generation systems, largest selection of games, fully backward compatable with PS games, and accessories, can go online, but each game can require a fee or not. (Not all games support online)

     

    XBox - Newer hardware than the PS2, smaller selection of games than the PS2, goes online (49/yr fee, works with all online games), supports four players with out a multiplayer adapter, largest weight of the three systems.

     

    GameCube - Slower than the XBox, but faster than the PS2. Has a number of multiplayer games, has a number of games that are unique to the system. More kid friendly than either the PS2 or XBox.

     

    XBox 360 - Comming out this month, in limited supply, expensive $299/$399 with no games. Newest technology, all games will go online. Will be backwards compatible with select XBox Games

     

    PS3 and the Revolution have not been released and most information about them can be changed.

     

    I'm 23 and have a PS2 and a GameCube, I play the GameCube more than the PS2. I also have an XBox 360 ordered.
