No. Buy them something that won't mean they'll be sitting in front of a television for hours on end.

Do you have an HDTV? If not, I would wait and get that first. Trust me.

Agreed, if you don't have HD you will be missing out. Seriously.
If you do, get it. I love mine...such a smooth system.

Most people don't buy them for the feel of the case, but if you like it because of that..... I'm not judging |

Yeah.. there is no comparison between the games in HD as opposed to not. If you don't have an HD.. you won't notice a difference in the visuals and you might feel cheated. HD all the way. The bigger the screen the better.
I got Call of Duty 2 .. when I first started playing I had to stop after about a half hour since the visuals, gameplay, and sound were so intense. I felt shell shocked as if I was almost* there. *(no desrespect to our veterans out there) |

So far it sounds like It is a go for the 360. I was worried about some of the overheating issues mainly . I do not have and HDTV now but I am going to be getting one with my Tax return this year.  |

I would seriously wait for the PS3! It's gonna blow X-Box out of the water! VERY NICE graphics on it! Makes X-Box look like pong graphics! (Can I post more !!!!! ???)
Also, games are backwards compatible on PS3, so way more game titles right off the bat!

Top ten reasons to buy a 360.
Oh, and Yuma, the 360 is backwards compatible too.
Xbox Marketplace is AMAZING, btw.
