Yup, I remember my friend got an AMIGA and it was the best thing we had ever seen, a much simple time back then

Oh My Dear God !!!!

Imagine being a 13 year old boy and your Aunt is Lynne- I know what I would want...................

Best gaming platform out there is a PC!

Multiplayer, XBox Live wins over the PS3 hands down.

As for graphics and games and stuff, they're pretty much interchangeable

For a 13 year old your mad to.. They are not interested in Blue-ray, all they want is good online gaming and as others have said, xbox wins hands down, johnH may consider 59euro per year for ebox live (online) expensive but most wouldn't..

PS3 all the way.
I have both and although the Xbox has a better online experience I prefer the games on the PS3 and the fact it's got a blueray player.
Saying that I'm 30 so I might not have a lot in common with a 13 year old, maybe the maturity but that's about it!!

Nintendo 64 was as far as I got with video game systems, and even then I managed to get the system for free off a mate who was getting into Playstation at the time. I kind of lost interest in video gaming after that, and never got into the PS, and primarily for a reason most might find ridiculous, but for me it was true: I always HATED the controller for the PS! Could just never get comfortable with it! Once it got the the point when none of my mates had any other gaming system, I just lost interest all together.

I did play a bit of Wii and XBox 360 at Christmas time with some friends and their kids, and both systems do offer some fun games. I'd say there's good sides to all the options mentioned above, and I had read that Playstation was soon releasing a controller that will allow gameplay similar to the Wii controller.
