Which one is best for me?
When buying a games console it is important to consider:
• Where you will be using it?
• What types of video games you will play?
• How much do you want to spend?
Where will you use your console?
A key consideration is whether you want to play video games at home or on the move. If you want video games while you travel you should be looking at handheld consoles such as Nintendo DS Lite or Sony PSP.
If using the console at home then a base unit such as Playstation 3, Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii will be the way to go.
What video games will you play on your console?
The next consideration is around what types of games you will want to play. Some consoles clearly have advantages for certain game types. For example, Nintendo Wii is great for family games which get people up on their feet and having fun. However if you are looking for serious gaming with other users around the world then Xbox 360 or PS3 may be a good option.
