  3. HI WII IS COOL BUT I LOVE THEM ALL! : )

  4. I need a playstation 3 so so bad but it only cost $400.00

  5. I have a NintindoWii, and I think they are the best because they are active and you can put Nintindo Gamecube games in it. So you don’t have to buy lots of new games.

    I think gameboy isn’t here jules because they are only doing the newer ones like why isn’t PS2 or PSP here. But don’t get me wrong, I love gameboy.

    I have a Wii,DS,Gameboy and Gamecube. I think by VERY, VERY far the best are Wii and DS. I got up to Wilfre in Drawn to Life for DS and play on Medium in Guitar Hero III. It’s AWESOME! I must have spent like 800$ on video games!
