Xbox 360 is way better than wii, plus it can do all the things the PS3 can do for 200 dollars less. And don’t start saying to me that wii is way better than xbox 360 because I have both and the 360 is way better.

The Playstation2 has a built in DVD player that you can watch tons of movies and play games. It is a 2in1 sensation.It’s not an easy portable game station, but it’s fun.THE PLAYSTATION2 RULES!!!
