Like the title says whats the best one for a 9 year old, but still be able to keep dad happy too?
This. my little cousins are a little younger than that and they love theirs. But my uncle told them that if they broke the TV they'd have to give it awaynintendo wii. also the least expensive
He wants to jump around having fun, not in frustration and anger.New xbox with kinect. The time of the wii has passed. That way you can jump around with your kid. Then hop on Black Ops on XBOX live and get headshotted by me when he is sleeping.
that would be great and all, except for the widespread issues with kinect, the fact that kinect is an add-on peripheral that's $100+ on top of a console that's already more expensive than a wii, and that only a fraction of the x-box game library is kinect compatible. edit: even the most basic kinect/console bundle costs $100 more than a wiiNew xbox with kinect. The time of the wii has passed. That way you can jump around with your kid. Then hop on Black Ops on XBOX live and get headshotted by me when he is sleeping.
well , yesthe fact that he's asking for video game advice on a mountain biking site just screams that he's going to jump right into playing CoD
dont forget the power adapter that it doesnt come withthat would be great and all, except for the widespread issues with kinect, the fact that kinect is an add-on peripheral that's $100+ on top of a console that's already more expensive than a wii, and that only a fraction of the x-box game library is kinect compatible. edit: even the most basic kinect/console bundle costs $100 more than a wii
nintendo wii. also the least expensive

3 of my co-workers have purchased the Kinect, and have given it glowing reviews. denjen did not mention cost. I have known denjen for over 5 years, and several of other people who know him are on xbox as well. Go find another parade to sh!t on.
I would rather spend my money on something that ac tually has a little bit of control and sensitivity. The controls on the wii are garbage, and the games are targeted to kids that are in the 5 to 10 year old range that denjen's son will be growing out of shortly.
Someone woke up on the suck up to jonkranked side of the bed I see.Someone woke up on the sensitive side of bed this morning I see.
well ive known jonkranked for around 5 years. your point?I have known denjen for over 5 years, and several of other people who know him .

So this will nullify a number of reviews I've been seeing describing games as "un-playable"3 of my co-workers have purchased the Kinect, and have given it glowing reviews.
but he did mention it being for a 9 year old, and given how quickly kids can lose interest something, minimizing financial impact would definitely be a considerationdenjen did not mention cost.
want a cookie?I have known denjen for over 5 years
I know people who have friends that smoke crack. Doesn't mean I'd recommend them trying it.several of other people who know him are on xbox as well.
I would, but the Klan isn't holding any parades today. Besides, last night was taco night so the aftermath has to go somewhere.Go find another parade to sh!t on.
so you're obviously not buying a kinectI would rather spend my money on something that ac tually has a little bit of control and sensitivity.
sorry, not everything can be:The controls on the wii are garbage.
sure, I'd let my 8 year old play CoD, Resident Evil, Dead Space....and the games are targeted to kids that are in the 5 to 10 year old range
someone woke up in a pile of mountain dew cans after playing black ops all nightSomeone woke up on the suck up to jonkranked side of the bed I see.
I played COD to much last year, my wife outlawed BO in our house.someone woke up in a pile of mountain dew cans after playing black ops all night
Says the guy who has had an Gemini (Atari knock off), NES, PS2, PS3 and an Xbox........The one at his friend's house
