No, but I've played both....maybe I'll buy it for the PS3 so I can finally say I own a game for it.

It is quite a bit of fun actually.

A back catalog of a ton of different games, some not even nintendo! Plus, you have the entire GameCube lineup available as well...which I think really helps.

You're misinformed. I see more PS3's these days then I do 360's.

BluRay Diodes burn out
PS3's GPU (RSX) Chip has the exact same problem as Xbox 360's (Red Lights)

The real question is, how many people have PS3's that you know compared to Xbox 360's.

Anyway... back on topic.

Wii or Xbox 360 for the kids. I'd lean towards the Wii since they are younger. Accessories for the Wii are quite a bit cheaper as well, however, like 90% of the Wii games are absolute junk. You'll def. want to rent games before buying them.

I have a 360 and ps3. Both have their advantages as well as the Wii. If it was up to me buying for your 2 daughters solely, it'd be the Wii. I will own one soon.

For that matter -- why not get a used snes or gamecube or something, and all of the kids games that are available for such systems?

Once you are de-sensitized to shooting and profanity, the 360 is the way to go.

I don't see much point in the PS3 unless there are true platform exclusives there you need to have. BR player doesn't interest me as I'll never buy a BR disc, and the online story is a total non-starter.

I'm going on numerous conversations I had with Jim back when I used to stay with him this summer. From what I can gather, it's not IF the laser will fail, it's when....and then it's spendy to fix it, unlike a 3 rings fix.
