im 95% agree with you.
360 no internet browser eh??not sure bout this,nver on9 with 360 before..but is it true??even psp got internet
and the music player..dunno how to create the playlist in hdd for 360

the only thing i like about 360 is their xmb menu..er..dashboard..

I'm not disagreeing with you, but out of all the reasons there only "promising but unproven exclusive games" is related to gaming..

How old is the nephew?
If too small just get him PSP or NDSL enought

yup. 360 has no internet browser.

Gurdian quotes
"buy them books to read"

Sori gurdian curi idea skit

360 should have this feature
thats why ps3 is just more better
now i know,

i think the best choices for your nephew is ndsl like gahleon said
but if he don't like games that graphic sux,go to psp
if he has ps2,-dont buy ndsl
buy psp,-but this one,if ur nephew is good on computer could cause prob,now psp can even watch p0rn

but if u still want to buy 360 or ps3
i think.erm.360 is the better choices,he can play lots of game
ps3,i don't think the seller will give any free games,maybe 1 free game,if he has wifi,he can always download the demo game on psn
now ps3/.360 price also quite reasonable

well 360 isn't built with internet browsing in mind.
remember this is a microsoft's machine. they already got Internet Explorer in most PC out there. so internet browsing is the last thing they want to put on their console. 360 was created as an "entertainment hub" that connects multiple devices (pc, mp3 players, camera, etc) that sits in the middle of the living room. that was their goal.

ps3 on the other hand, was built with the pc in mind. in japan, PC penetration is actually kinda low. therefore they want to build a machine that can emulate a pc inside each and every home in japan. thus, ever since PS2, you can see that it supports linux as OS and it can be used as a pc once installed. so, i think that's why ps3 got an internet browser built in complete with wi-fi. so that even if the linux OS isn't used, the PS3 can still be used as a basic pc with limited capabilities (just run games, etc.. no business centric softwares).

get him PC to play PC Game + he can learn alot from PC, im just concern bout his ages of 10 start playing console might affect his study. just my 2cents

Seconded that..

Not sure what to say but both consoles has its own pros and cons..

i see,sorry,nver know bout that
so both console are quite good too,but ps3 has many features i think like built in wifi,more usb cable

u know, a little more reading and researching will never hurt.
try it for once...

will things like wifi and usb cable affect your gaming or watever u are doing on the console?

lol

find the core weightage of why u are buying it

then research on which is better

there`s people already installed Linux OS at PS3 nowdays , i think u already know..waah how lucky am i as PS3 owner..but for me both console great.

many great things bout it , makes the console so great.

sometimes, a little bit of grammatical correct relayed ideas wont hurt, as i cant comprehend some of the ideas here

here we go again

Ok guy to battle station!!!!

Who start the fire first???

10 years old, better buy nintendo Wii, me myself a PS3 owner and also an ex Xbox 360 owner (for 2 days short) but IMHO (in my opinion) 10 year old kids are not supposed to own either Xbox360 or a PS3, why? because they are too young to appreciate the delicate hardwares of both and the cost of owning(eg:Ps3) requires a lot of money just to buy games. (one game around 100-200).

im not gonna suggest Xbox360 for its pirated games either,since we have to support original to keep the gaming industry going..

Anyway neither Xbox or Ps3 have games that are suitable for your nephew, since its more to 18+ rated(sex,gore,killing Eg: GTA4) therefore nintendo wii would be the best choice as a gift since it has more family type game and the games are more interactive compared to any console in the world(eg: sports games require players to move their hand to hit balls like in tennis, not buttons)...

This would make your 10 year old nephew to explore new physical activities in games, rather than just moving fingers...try to search more on Wii and its games to know more about this unique gaming experience, me myself are planning to buy Wii just because of this features...

yes, as the poster above said, getting a wii is probably the better choice. it's cheaper, have lotsa games that are fun to play with and can play *ahem* games (not that i recommend you to do so).

can ps3 hear songs when playing like 360??
