Xbox 360 Kinect Wii PS3

Looking to get a system for me the wife and the grandkids. Money really isn't and issue. Do want to do interactive games with the boys.
Honest feedback please.

If that is what you are going to use it for, the Wii by far.

Dan, the xbox with the kinect is phenomenal. after getting it, the wii hasn't been touched in months. however if you decide to go with a wii, I'd be willing to sell you our entire wii system with lots of extra games and controllers for a decent price.

PS3? Free online gaming, web browser, and blue ray.

Anyone try to store movies from there Directv HD DVR to the Xbox ( using it as an external HDD ) recording it to Xbox instead of the Directv HDD ? I know you can use an E sata external drive with the Directv HDDVR
These are the HDD recommended from Directv
Western Digital 500GB (model WDG1S5000)
Western Digital 1TB (model WDG1S10000)
Seagate 1TB (model ST31000SCA109-RK)
Seagate 500GB (model ST30500SCA109-RK)

Im all for PS3 personally, hell I sold my xbox and never looked back lol but for what your looking for xbox may be the way to go.

Every house I work at during the week that has kinect the kids love it, I have the move for PS3 but it doesnt even compare (and again, i hate xbox lol)

If money not being considered than go for xbox w/kinect

PS3. They don't RROD or fail nearly as often as xbox, and sony customer support is pretty easy and quick to deal with. Its got one of the best bluray players in existence, games look great as well. Plenty of titles out there and its alot of system for the cash imo

I have all three................If its for what you say................the X-box or the wii is the way to go......................As of late all we play is the x-box and the kids love it, i think the motion on the xbox is way better then the wii, but you do need a nice size room for the xbox.......to me its a tuff choice but i would go with the xbox as the games for the motion are going to explode.



if you need or want blue ray then PS3 is great, but the kids game are not in the same league as the xbox and wii, net flex is on all three, online play is free for the ps3, but little kids don't need online play, at least imo until 9-10 years old or even older. so imo ps3 is not for you guys!

I've got all 3 as well. Wii never gets used anymore. Although I would love to pickup some of the latest games for it.
