By now most of you in the market for a "Next Gen" video game console have already made your purchase, and in the process were left very frustrated along the way.
Sony's PS3, Nintendo's Wii and Microsoft's XBOX36o are officially out in the marketplace, some easier to find than others.
Rather than provide technical specs and comparisons between the three systems, here is my recommendation for those of you who have not yet made the purchase or were otherwise 'shut out' during the horrifying launch of both Sony's and Nintendo's new system.
BUY THE XBOX360.
Here's my rationale, it's been out over a year and has many games and accessories already available, it's available on store shelves everywhere and there are great deals to be had. I was anti-XBOX for a reason I don't even know, until I received a free console unit with the purchase of a TV during day after thanksgiving sales (aka Black Friday). I am now thoroughly impressed with the system, the games, the accesibility and the Hi-Def widescreen friendly graphics. I purchased just under a dozen games of all sorts to keep the kids (and myself) busy. There are great games that came out around the time the system was launched and cost 20 bucks (although a year old, they're new to you and me ;-) and most of the new games go on sale very shortly after release. Fry's, Best Buy and Circuit City all seem to have great deals for the new games that are often 20-30 dollars less than the Suggested Retail Price of 59 dollars.
There is also XBOX Live, which comes in two flavors, Free and 'Gold'. The free version of Live is great to download game demos that will let you try before you buy. The 'Gold' version allows you to play your games online against people from around the globe. The established base of the XBOX36o also provides great advantages such as great promotions such as the Burger King set of XBOX games for the very low price of 3.99.
Some caveats include the relatively high price for accessories (such as 99 dollars for the Wireless adapter to avoid having a 30 foot ethernet cord running accross your house to connect to XBOX Live) as well as a terribly poor backwards compatibility with the original XBOX console games. Most will not play and if you already have an XBOX, this could be incredibly frustrating.
Again, current recommendation is the XBOX36o.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your
blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of
text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
