lol, PS2?? It still has a lot of good games so it won't be bad.

WII: Isn't bad but more of a family console

360 might be your best bit. Although I hate this piece of crap.lol

How much money you wanna blow on it?
PS2 will be the cheapest and its got loads of games.
But an XBOX 360 Arcade may not also be bad. not very expensive, lots of games and got all the features you need.

hope this helps.

@ Squad1:

Whatever you do, if you go for a 360, do yourself the favour of going for a PAL system. I made the mistake of going for NTSC and now I'm scouring the whole of lagos for recent titles for my system. PAL is more readily available at Silverbird and Shoprite, without you having to set sail to computer village or alaba market. Better still, you get a power supply that matches ours.

[size=13pt]If you are an idiot you will buy Nintendo Wii. It doesnt deserve to be put amongst ps3 and xbox 360 as a next generation console![/size]

Remember to tell him the pros and cons of each consoles not just point out which to buy. If you can lay your hands on a wii, go for it cause it hardly breaks. I wouldn't want to buy a PS2 if I were you cause it's pretty much old now and I'm sure if you try some games on the 360, you won't want to play PS2 again except for some titles. If you can get your hands on a PS3, welcome to heaven!!!

Non proprietary hard drive that can be upgraded by the user to higher capacity's than 120 GB's

Any off of the shelf laptop hard drive that is a certain format, can be used with the PS3

PS1 games can be purchased on the playstation store, along side other games

Free online, that will only get better over time

Can support up to more than two people in and out of game voice chat

Proprietary hard drive, offered only in 20 and 120 GB's

Cant upgrade hard drive beyond 120 GB

It seems the hard drive could eventually die

It seems the system's DVD drive tray could eventually jam

Stops reading discs eventually

Can't take a off of the shelf laptop hard drive and use it with the system, due to way the system is designed

Noisy cooling fans

Power supply unit is not in the system, it is out side of the unit connected to the power cord

Power supply unit is large and bulky and may cause problems with the system if not properly taken care of

Uses outdated DVD format

PS3 All the way.
