ok so you are looking for a new system to buy and just cant decide between the handful of systems well ill help you with rating on all of them ! also games to buy .

psp playstation portable -  7.50

price 249.99 and 199.99 once the core comes out !

 the psp was once a great syste but has gone down the path of the dreamcast . all the games almost are just watered down ports of console games . although it may have a few good games hidden in the stack it takes a while to find a good game that would be worth 40 $

 good games

generation of chaos

daxter

socom us navy seals fireteam bravo

playstation 2  - 8.,50 

price = about 120

the playstation 2 is an amazing system with many capabilities which are being put to the max with every game on the system . recommended for all ages . the graphics are great too ! you may want to wait until the playstation 3 arrives in november which will have backwards combatibility !

games to get

kingdom hearts 1 & 2

genji dawn of the samurai

and so many more i cant even remember !!!!!!!!

xbox 360 - 9.00

price = 299.99 - 399.99

this is my favorite system . its graphics are not  describable !!!!!!!!  the games are awsome ! don't let sony fanboys put you down they don't know what they are missing ! i do not recommend the core version as the premium saves money in the long run but if you are not a serious gamer then the core is for you !

recommended towards older gamers ( 11+ )

core

games to get

call of duty 2

dead or alive 4 ( mature rated )

ghost recon advanced warfighter

the elder scrolls 4 oblivion (  this game is truly a good game  !!! )

perfect dark zero

nintendo ds and gameboy advance including micro ( because the ds can play the game boy advanced games ) 120 i may be wrong

this is a good system . it has a good price tag but the graphics are not very good . dont get me wrong thogh its the game play thats good ! online is not a necesity but is okay but not many online games out yet so you might want to wait . it is aimed towards younger gamers . if you buy a DS and your first game get one of the first 2 games to get .

games to get

mario kart ds

animal crossing wild world

tetris ds

metroid ds

mario 64 ds

dont forget the nintendo revolution and the sony playstation 3 are scheduled for november check your game store to see if you can preorder !!!!
