Holiday Gift Guide Part: 2 - Video Game Systems (Consoles)

Posted on 27 November 2007 by Matt

Each of these systems has it’s own bad-ass attributes. There isn’t a clear-cut winner, so instead of being sheep… decide for yourself!

PlayStation 3 40GB Spider-Man Movie Pack - The reason I started with the PS3 is because I think it has the most growth to make in the next couple of years. Because of the awesome hardware built into the PS3, I don’t think the games out now adequately utilize it. As soon as developers create the games that do this, the PS3 will fly off the shelves. You also may be wondering why I chose the Spider-Man movie pack, but there is a method to my madness. Right now, the PS3 is the cheapest Blue-Ray player on the market at $399. That, to me, is the real selling point for the PS3 right now.

Xbox 360 Elite System Console Includes 120GB Hard Drive - Now the XBOX 360 is the hardcore gaming console of this Holiday Season. Anyone wanting to get into serious gaming is hankering for the XBOX 360 Elite. Providing the best overall experience, Microsoft has truly tapped the XBOX 360 hardware and is making sure the best games are coming out on their system. On top of that, the XBOX Live interface is raising the standard for the user experience. And as if that wasn’t enough, the 360 is also a media extender. That means the videos, music, and pictures on your Windows computer are available on your big screen TV.

Sports Starter Bundle for Nintendo Wii - I chose the Wii last because it is definitely the best family-friendly system out there. While researching this one, I was surprised to see how expensive the Wii is. The bundle I chose is actually $479 but I chose it because it comes with Madden ‘08 and two remotes. No matter what you think, you will ultimately want to play the Wii with friends and if you only have one wiimote, you aren’t ready. Nintendo really outdid themselves with the innovative gameplay they designed. Just be careful because the Wii is addictive.
