Nintendo DS Lite Console

$199.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
what's not so great:?ocasionally does not read a disk that is perfectly clean, but other than that great buy "it is great to actually be involved in a game instead of just playing it.
from www.bestbuy.com
the included game disk, wii sports, is enough to keep the gamer going for weeks (it did us, anyway), and it is impossible to play this game sitting down.
from www.bestbuy.com
what's great about it:?the games are different than disks, so they won't scratch.
from www.bestbuy.com
the games are smaller disks and easier to handle and store for longer trips.
from www.bestbuy.com
let me put it this way...if i purchase a film, regardless of a reduced price, on a disk, regardless of size, the last thing i want to do is watch it on a 3.5 inch screen.

bottom line, get a 360, unless your going to blow $700 on a blue-ray disk player anyways, lest case you might as well get something that can play games as well.
from lt.dell.com
and i do not think that the 360 (as it is now) will be around for years to come since its limits (disk space and hardware set up) are being pushed already.

i had my xbox 360 for 14 months then the disk drive went out called microsoft they said it would cost 150.00 to fix this problem so now i sit with out my 400.00 dollar xbox 360 and a year of xbox

it also fixed the high pitched whine comming from the living room when the ps2 wouldn't load a disk.
from www.amazon.com
however, the console sounds like a vacuum cleaner when playing from the disk.
from Nawlinz, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: microsoft still charges way to high for their hard drives for the xbox 360, not to mention it's a proprietary hard drive system, meaning you can't add your own hard disk yourself,
from SHANEQIA from YO' MAMA, www.circuitcity.com
it fully shuts down the system & scratches the disk.
