Video Game System Question

[Master Capper]

I would like to purchase for my nephew (age 8) a game console but since I really have not played Playstation etc..I really am clueless as to what is out there and what is the best deal, should I go with a Playstation 2 or X Box or is there another system that is as good or better?

I would recommend either the PS2 or the XBox. Being younger, probably the XBOX, but myself I only will play the PS2, and I think the PS2 has alot more games available too. Id say PS2 gets my vote, good luck either way.......

Personally I think P2 is the best route.

It has way more games than the X

P.S. Master Capper, make sure you get some good games you both can play together. Even though he's 8, kids pick up video games very fast.

mastercapper..this is from my son who is the master..
Playstation 2 over X box.
There are more games available on P-2.The DVD is included so you don'y have to buy anthing extra.

We have a Playstation 1 that is about five years old (we bought it used). We just bought GameCube for the kids (seven year old triplets) for Christmas this year (haven't played it yet). One of the key contributors to our decision was the attachment that allows Game Boy games to be played on the GameCube system. Since we have twenty or so Game Boy games this seems like a good fit for us.

Good luck!
