Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rackhir" data-source="post: 4056132" data-attributes="member: 149">The 360 is unlikely to get much in the way of "anime" games. Simply because it sells so poorly in Japan. It's strengths are mostly in the shooting/action games and a substantial number of the games for it are really aimed at an adult market.So far the PS3 doesn't have a great deal of "family friendly" games either though. I'm not seeing anything due out anytime soon, that seems likely to appeal to your girls either. Though Rock Band (pricy at $200 for just the game) or Guitar Hero III, might be popular, but they are also available for the other consoles as well. With it's price and Blu-Ray movie capabilities it sells more the adult/enthusiast market. Of course if you do have a HD TV (or are getting one soon), the PS3 is the best Blu-Ray player out on the market (and no more expensive than the standalone players). Blu-Ray has killed HD-DVD, the competing HD disk format. So there's no need to worry about which one is going to emerge victorious. If you can track down either a 20 gig model or a 60 gig model, those are 99% backwards compatible with the PS2 games. The 80 gig is compatible to a lesser degree and the 40 gig has no compatability.BTW, have you considered a PS2 either new or used? There are TONS of games available for it of every size shape and description. Used games are readily available at dirt cheap prices.The Wii is probably the best choice if you want a current gen system (it isn't much more powerful than a PS2 however) and does have a fair amount of pretty innovative games (though there is also a fair amount of shovel ware). Their virtual console also offers access to a number of classic games. It's controller does offer a lot of what your daughter liked about the Eye Toy.</blockquote>
