    XBOX360 is the absolute BEST! I think it is the best because you can download game demos and full games without having to have another case and disk clutter up your cabinet. You can also connect to your PC and watch youtube, netflix, and hulu. It can even play the older XBOX games and let you watch DVD movies! 🙂

  5. This stuff is WAY outdated. The PSP 3000 is 130 now. The PS3 160 GB is 300. The wii is 200. The Xbox 160 GB is 300.

  6. 3ds is amazing the screen literally pops out in 3d whit out using special 3d glases. And it has so many fetures that are hard to discribe! AND it has stuff that no other game system has!

  7. all this advice aint working ps3 xbox 360 3ds seriesly guys there making a new psp which one is the best?

  8. Playstation 3 is the best I have one and it has the best graphics, you can download music, there’s netflix, you can put photos, and you can play movies and cds. You can also use your PSP as a remote for the ps3.
