Iowaman - 2011-11-15 11:45 AM OK, you guys seem like video game nerds. Heres a question for you. I have a 5 year old son and want to get a game system that he can use for kids games but I could play some of the combat type games your referring to. Is the WII my best choice? Thoughts, Cord or Kido.

With a kid the playstation 3 is good, for adults I like the Xbox better but thats why I have both systems

Does your daughter enjoy the games on PS3?

Ya both my kids like the PS3 games, they have a lot more of the kid type games and Little big planet which rocks. You also get a blue ray player with the PS3.

Both have Wii like systems, too, with the PS Move and the XBOX Kinnect. I haven't used either much, but if they are looking for the movement type games, Wii is no longer the only option.

I think that PS3 is better for all around usage.

Thanks Pete thats what I was curious about teh kids moving games. I don't know anything about game systems, the last ne I had was Atari (circa 1980).

I have the house to myself for the night and what do I do?  Ride the trainer for an hour then sit on the couch eating yogurt and drinking wine out of the bottle.

That's right, I'm a klassy b*tch! 

A bottle? Do you put up your pinky while drinking? Try drinking right out of a box of wine baby, that how we do in the hood.

I may or may not have done that before... but when drinking out of a bottle, glass, etc... the pinky finger should always be raised to show off the appropriate amount of fake poshness.

And when you drink wine from the box or a 40oz, your middle finger should be raised show show off your displeasure with law enforcement while in the hood mother fu(#ers.

For what it is worth, my 6 yr old son loves the Xbox.  There is a decent selection of games that Lego has like Star Wars.  My daughter (9 yr old) tends to stay more toward the Wii cause of Just Dance.  SHe loves that game.

Drat.  I knew I had the wrong finger up the last time I was drinking a 40... no wonder people were looking at me funny.  Apparently I`m better at fake poshness than fake gangsta.

I've got a friend who has access to cheap (read: free) boxes of wine. Whenever we drink it, we don't want to be seen drinking out of a box of wine, so naturally, we remove the box. You haven't lived until you have chugged out of a bag of wine.

I have a 3rd Gen Ipod nano that the battery is dying on.  Has anyone ever replaced the battery in one of these?  I can get a kit for about 10 bucks online.  It almost seems worth it to try, what do you think?  I use it for some music but mostly audiobooks when at the gym or working around the house.

Hm nope but let me know how it goes. I have a dead Nano and Shuffle that I want to try and resurrect.

I have 2 dead Nanos I would love to revive

I'm convinced that if we did some mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, our Nanos would magically benefit and come back to life, too.

No, really, I am sure of it.

Don't forget chest compressions or melon presses for short

I know that some mouth to mouth and melon presses would bring be back to life...  I think I will go for the DIY fix.  Ill let you know how it goes.

So? How'd it go? You need some supplemental O2?

THe O2 is good, need more melon pressing, definately need more melon pressing.

Hahaha!  Then hold it over your head so that you can press that little plastic contraption thingy that lets the wine out... yeah... I may have done that too...

No. Living is finishing a bag of wine each, then wearing the empty box on your head like a helmet and playing fighting knights. Or use your empty 12 pack box. I have often been Sir Schlitz-a-lot.

Haha, I know this comment will have Cord giddy with possibilities, but whatever, your "fighting knights", while also potentially overly phallic, reminded me of it.

My buddy plays a game called Wizard Sticks. Basically, you drink a can of beer. When you finish it, you tape your newly opened can to the top of the last can. Goal is to drink your height in beer...

I already bought, played and won MW3.  Great graphics, good story line, it was just not that difficult and did not last as long.  I beat it in about 4 hours.  I hope the live multiplayer is better.

 

Iowa, I would go with the Xbox 360 for the kids.  You can get the Kinnect for about $150 and the games are better than the Wii games.  You also have a lot of options for sports games.  My son loves the Lego Batman, Lego Star Wars, and Lego Harry Potter games.

 

Oh, and I own both an Xbox 360 and a Wii.

OK, thanks.
