I help to clarify for PS3.
You can't get any lanun game for PS3, only original games available for PS3, the price for the original BD games range from RM80 - RM200 depends on the game. If you want cheap games u can buy 2nd hand game which is around RM50 - RM150.

But if u want to buy non genuine games / lanun that sell only RM12 per games, u can try Xbox 360 because this console can be modded.

Im a console gamer. I will recommend my son (if i have) to play latest console and the past console as well =P

If ur house got HDTV, get an Xbox 360 if u think rm180 per game is ridiculous.
If ur house got HDTV, get a PS3 if u are rich enough to afford RM 180 per game average.

If ur house got no HDTV, get a PS2 if u cant afford rm 180 for every game and ur kids are playful and naughty.
If ur house got no HDTV, get a Wii if u are think RM 5 per game is reasonable and make ur kids very good boy so they wont spoil the Wiimote or Knunchuk controller because they are wireless and they need to swing it very often

PS2 still has the biggest library of games at the moment as for as i know.
Games galore for kids smile.gif
Of course there are mature violent games too but it's up to you to monitor and watch what games are bought.
It's also cheapest of the 3 consoles at the moment. smile.gif
Games will be around RM4, console maybe around RM600-700++.
Search the Console Couch thread for SCE, GAMERS SOLUTION, GAMERS HIDEOUT threads etc. These are some of the trusted sellers.

Get him a handheld la...sony psp and nintendo ds is pretty affordable. Furthermore, he won't disturb u watching the tv happy.gif

after that, he can play movie, mp3 and even internet using that handheld. Since u're not a gamer..this is the cheapest way to go happy.gif...oh yes..the PS2 is also a choice if u're low on budget.

Mysathia,

PS3 only has genuine games sold in the market. Pirated are impossible for PS3 to fit in. If you are looking for PS3 games. Check the BUY/SELL/TRADE section for 2nd hand games. They are worth it.

I dealed with RON4 last sunday a 2nd hand game. This is how smartly we need to look at the budget constraints if you are likely to get PS3 for your son.

Btw, you have not replied to all the questions above. Maybe you should mate..

well mySathia, from what i can summarize from most of the post here,

1. how old is your son? different console have different appeal and target market. if he's 12 or below, get a wii or a DS. if not, anything from PSP to PS3 will be good. wii and DS has more kid friendly software than others.

2. what's your budget? investing into a console, you must also take account on your financial capability in providing him with new softwares (games) every now and then. most games sell between RM80 to RM250 depending on type and availability. and pls do not succumb to the piracy thing, you are teaching the kid how not to value digital artists and publishers.

3. while PS2 has the biggest library, keep in mind that most of the games are out of reach unless you are willing to spend some time combing the net for the older ones.

4. all current gen consoles (Wii, X360 and PS3) has some sort of parental control in case you need one. X360 has a password protected feature to limit your son's gaming time. you can set this up for his console. i dunno about PS3 tho.

so i guess that should cover most of the stuffs here plus a few. tongue.gif
