# Oh you will like this.
My son was excited this morning when I told him daddy has bought an xbox ( we are a console free family ) and was talking about new 360 games and if he was good he might be able to have it in his room during school holidays.
You should have seen his face when I explained that I have bought an original xbox and that there will be no games or controllers and Daddy has bought it for the sole purpose of adding to the network to stream downloaded films from the server to the TV room to save me making discs.
he was not impressed.
I bought another one this morning actually, for the bedroom for the same purpose.

# PS3 eugh!
The controllers are too light, not enough meat to them, that and the limited back catalogue of games.

But Im sure he'll have fun playing it :D

# if you think I'll
let anyone in this house who has ever seen a wii, let alone the toy itself, you would be sadly mistaken.

# PS3s are brilliant.
If you're going to own a console, that's the one to get.

# PS3 is better than sexbox 360
if only for the following reasons: blue ray, wifi, SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE, it doesn't sound like a helicopter struggling to take off ALL THE TIME.

# The one problem I have with it
is it attracts lots of dust.

# that is does missus
also - Street Fighter isn't as good as I'd hoped it would be.

# reflector or refractor?

# I'm not sure yet.
I have a 7" meade refractor and a maksutov cassegrain but they are not toys so i want to start him off with something he can handle. A small reflector probably, just to see how interested he gets.

# Sounds reasonable.
That's some nice gear you've got there! I've yet to buy a "grown-up" telescope, but the purchase is delayed by monetary reasons and the fact that I'm living in a city :(

# Will you be annoyed if he ignores the telescope
And starts mindlessly killing stuff on the PS3?

# no. He asked for the telescope.

# set the PS3 up
