Ya Wii more kid oriented. Not many PS3 titles that would be good for a 5 year old.

Wii. Interactive games keeps the rug rats from growing into lumps that sit on the couch and get fat.

Might be funny, but it's certainly true. I have both. Heck, I'm not disagreeing with 87GN, I've just never heard it described that way. I can't tell you squat about HALO, COD, or any of the other games that seem to be discussed so much here. Those games are probably very cool, but I just feel like I should be out doing something instead of playing a video game. The WII games, on the other hand, seem to allow for more active playing. Having said that, I guess I'd better get off of ARFCOM for a while and go take care of some errands!

My 5 year old LOVES his Wii. He runs around the living room, jumping up and down, shaking the controllers around –– at least he's getting some exercise while he plays.
There are some grown-up games for it too, I have COD, but don't play it much. I'm not much of a gamer anymore. |

+1 You gotta get into the basement mindset to properly enjoy Arfcom.

For you, moreso than your kid: WII will have COD4 in 10 days - yes, 2 years too late, but playing a shooting game on the WII is 'different'...
Because you actually aim and shoot at the screen.... For the kid? Wii, hands down... |

Thanks guys Sometimes its to dam cold to play outside in Mn. Then get him the Wii and the Outdoor Challenge game that comes with the play mat. When it's too nasty outside the kid can have fun running and jumping in Outdoor Challenge. You and 'Mom' might like it too for the fitness challenge part of the game that is available. |
