  1. I dont relly like any of them, other placess around the world have way better systems and we need to catch up whats the hold up any way? But i guess if i had to pick one, it would be PS3 you get what you pay for.

  2. I have the systems except ps3 and out of all of them i have had the fewest problems with the 360 and it has the best graphics and games. The wii is o.k. but it has very few good games and gets boring easily. Both psp and ds good but not great. I like both hand helds equally.

  3. ps3 becouse it has games that you could play from ps1 and ps2

    i think that wii is great because you actually get into the game without sitting on the couch the whole time but i would say the xbox360 is the best because they offer a lot of outstanding games like halo 3 and gears of war. also, the graphics are amazing in games like gears of war. the cool thing i like about the 360 is you can create a avatar. overall, like i said, 360 pwns aaaalllllllllll
