re: Gaming console for 7 year old

What's the price difference?

I would recommend going with the bigger memory just in case.

just get the PS4 now and save yourself down the line. If you buy the PS3 now, you will be forking over $200 ish for the console minus the games. Then you are going to be buying a bunch of games at $60 a pop that won't be able to be used on the PS4. Whereas if you get the PS4 now, you will forever be able to play those games on your console.

I'm not completely opposed to the idea, but I'm struggling justifying 250 on PS3 for a 7 year old. Another 200 just seems excessive. By the time he is old enough to really use what the PS4 offers, I suspect the price will have come down a good bit.

He is an active 7 year old. He will only play it a few hours per week.

Upstanding parent right here.

you're the idiot who thinks that video games are what kill people right? Give me a fricking break. My son knows right from wrong, real from fake. It's not my fault your shitty parents couldn't raise you properly

The kinect on the 360 is garbage. Dont bother with it. The xbox one kinect does work better but the is not a lot of software for it. New Xbox One's are on sale for 350.00 at most retailers. Support by game developers for the 360 will likely last a couple more years but I doubt you will see much of a price drop before then.
