The new machines won't be out for ages the Japan tsunami trashed there chip production. They are talking about new machines but they cannot mass produce them yet. :-(

Love my ps3.... Great for gaming and a 3d blu ray player as well..... Don't have move controllers for it though, if I want to be active I go outside, if I want to play computer games it's from the comfort of my arse.....

Thanks for all the advice - I think - as some of it has confused me a bit more regarding different machines. :lol: easily done mind, as I'm really not into gadgets.

Feel a bit like king Canute in the face of the gadget tidal wave, but at least our two do like to swing in the trees and play in the mud as well.

The wee ones have played on their friends Wii's and seemed to have enjoyed it hence their numerous hints in the last few months running up to birthday season.

As suggested - will keep it basic and simple to start and see how it goes

 

Steve - I doubt they would give me anything on phone contracts as it would take em about ten years to recoup the costs based on my mobile phone spend :lol:

My boys 7 and 9 love the wii, there are some good family type games where 4 can play and have a laugh. Gran can even play.. It might not be suitable for hard core gamers but do you want your kid to be a hard core gamer?? The only downside is kids constant asking to go on it. Plus some very clever marketing for skylander giants which mean you have to buy extra figures. You need at least two controlers and the nunchucks.

We play on our wii now for 4 years my girls 10,8, and 5 we have the wii fit too so we can surf run and run its great fun use eBay for bargains or even better sell and seek on Facebook

exactly what I would like to avoid - while they are young at least. They can make their own minds up later. A complete ban would probably have a greater chance of them becoming gamers - forbidden fruits etc. Trying to give a bit and then distract em with outdoor activities - thats the cunning plan anyway

 

Over to fleabay in a minute to have a look what is on offer
