Well the way things are going with stock of the Wii console, a lot of people are turning to the alternatives available - particularly with the prices Wiis are selling for on eBay, you have a lot of choice for that money.
1) Playstation 3
For £299 you can get the most powerful gaming system out there, unbelievable graphics and some of the best games around. Not only that, but you get a full High Definition system capable of playing Blu Ray discs. I get the impression that the PS3 is more of a guy’s console, and I can’t imagine any young boy being dissapointed at getting one of these instead of a Wii under the tree. Girls might be a different matter, but even then there is a plethora of games out there.
Amazon has the best PS3 deals around:
2) Xbox 360
The 360 has sold more than the PS3 largely due to the difference in price. It is also a dedicated gaming machine without some of the HD/Blu Ray frills the PS3 has. One of its biggest benefits is the range of games it has, with some of the biggest and best out there such as Halo. Microsoft is making a big push behind the Xbox so expect the great games to continue. Another console that any young boy (or man!) would love to own.
Again Amazon has some of the best prices around for the Xbox 360 console:
3) Nintendo DS Lite
If a portable gaming unit is an option, you can’t get much better than the Nintendo DS Lite. For less than a hundred quid you get a great selection of fun games, much as you do with the Wii. A number of games are found on both platforms, such as the popular Brain Academy.
