Cheers Toon. I think the purpose of him insisting on an Xbox is to play his mate online, so i think that's the route i'll have to go down.

No problem, mate. Just be aware when playing online he may encounter some right dodgy characters- I mean, Langdale's on there for a start...:2xGay:

I'll have to make sure he's supervised at all time then.

I have both, so here is a few plus points for each:
Xbox:
Cheaper. And the new models FINALLY have inbuilt wireless and a decent HDD size
Xbox Live > PSN
PS3:
A better 'media hub'
Blu-Ray
PSN may be inferior, but it is free.
In terms of actual games, there really isn't anything in it, and is down to personal preference. Obviously, you get exclusives for each system - there are some brilliant 'exclusives' for both systems. Personally, the PS3 JUST wins it for exclusives as it has Uncharted - but that's not really any use for a young 'un. As it's for your lad, then have a quick look at LittleBigPlanet which is also a PS3 exclusive. Very addictive, and brilliant for kids.
Personally, if I didn't have either, I'd be going for the Xbox with at least a 100GB hard drive. You can get some absolute steals nowadays though. Check out HotUKDeals every so often. THIS is a very decent deal.
Both are brilliant machines.
Don't get a Wii. They're gimmicky and the novelty soon wears off.

Nothing compared to the disgraceful language you would come out with if Wombourne's lad thrashed you at FIFA. Which he probably would, because you are to gaming what James Corden is to the world of comedy.

In all seriousness, the Xbox does have a very good parental control system, so if there's something you're not sure about him playing (or hearing) you can easily stop him from being exposed to him. With online play, it works out a lot cheaper to buy a 12 month xbox live sub from eBay. You get sent a code which you input into the console when prompted and that's it. Costs around £27 if you know where to look.
Just shout if you need any advice on the best places to go.

Cheers for that Langdale.
As for the Wii, too late mate, the missus invested in one a few years ago when she thought Wii fit was the answer to all her problems.

But a comparison to that useless tub of blubber, Corden? There's a line, my friend, and you crossed it...:angry-smiley-034:

Whales have blubber. I find your disgraceful pigeon holing of those majestic ocean dwelling mammals offensive.

Somewhere in the middle, so a Fisher Price Stig!
Finished my 2nd season and finished 3rd in a Virgin (that sounds wrong!!) After a brilliant win in the final race of the season I had contract offers showering down on me, except from Virgin as they got stroppy when I turned down a $10.5m 1 year contract!. I am now the number 2 driver at McLaren with Lewis pretending to be the number one. 2 races, 2 wins. Lewis 2nd and 4th.

It got a surprisingly low score on CVG - 8.1 out of 10. Weird because it's supposed to be the same as Fallout 3.
I think people who loved Fallout 3 will love New Vegas.

Other reviews I've seen have been 9/10 and 5 stars. I think CVG's low(ish) score could be because it is really more of the same, especially in terms of game engine. Also, it has an annoying crash bug, but that is going to be fixed by a opening day patch. Possibly this has had an effect on the mark?

I know I am way behind you avid gamers but finally got every acheivement on Bioshock (except the extra one in the patch about completing the whole game on hard without dying). Quietly chuffed.

Impressive! I haven't got them all- I haven't found all the diaries for a start! It's things like this make the word 'Achievement' mean something...
