Buying My First Game Console in a Very Long Time: Any Suggestions
Posted by: biggandy, in FeaturedOk, my son is 8 years old has been asking very nicely these past few months to get a game console for the home. A friend of his has a game console and plays a “Spongebob Squarepants” game that has my kid all jazzed up. The last time I owned a game console that attached to the television was the original Nintendo Entertainment System (the one with Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt). So I am a bit behind the curve when it comes to gaming.
I have been comparison pricing and realized that I don’t want to buy one new out of the box. No brainer.
I have it narrowed down to an XBox or a PlayStation 2. I have heard “modded this” and “modded that”… version 1.0, version 1.6, soldering, bla bla bla. So what is the deal? For an autistic kid and a family that would rather play Chutes and Ladders than Metal Gear, what is the best choice? Which has better titles for learning and family entertainment?
I figure ask here since most of you who read the blog on a regular basis at least share some of my sensibilities. Drop a comment and give a brother a break.

I am partial to Xbox. I like the games they have better. PS2 is OK, so I would say the get the best deal you can for a used system.
I have Xbox, PS2, Xbox 360, and I will probably get a Wii. One thing about the new Wii is it is cheaper than the other new systems out there. Also it involves more moving of the body to make it work. That seems like a better option than sitting and moving your fingers.
