Which Console Is Worth Your Money This Christmas

With Christmas creeping closer, many kids will be asking for a new next gen console this year. But which one is the best for your family? With the 3 main next gen consoles, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii, all competing against each other, which one is the best to get?

Lets start with the Xbox. After a price cut in September, you can pick up an Xbox 360 for £130, this makes it the cheapest of all 3 of the consoles. But, for your £130, you will only get the arcade system which doesn't come with a hard drive or games, so, what about console bundles. For the arcade system, you can get the console, 3 games and 2 controllers for around £160. As for the premium console, this comes with a 60GB hard drive. You can get a bundle which comes with 3 games and 2 controllers for around £200. And if you want to go for the best Xbox, the Xbox 360 Elite, this one contains a 120GB hard drive and bundles which include 3 games and 2 wireless controllers will cost around £260.

Overall, the Xbox is a great console with many Xbox exclusive games. Also, with a massive online community, it's perfect for any family.

On to console number 2, the Nintendo Wii. The Nintendo Wii is a great family console, with many fun and family interactive games that will keep the young kids entertained for hours. The standard console will cost £180 and for a bundle, which contains the console, 2 controllers, 2 nunchucks and 4 games, £270.

Overall the Nintendo Wii is a great console, with a massive selection of family fun games, it will keep your whole family entertained for hours.

The last console is the Playstation 3, it's the newest and the most exspensive of the 3. The Playstation is very similar to the Xbox, except that the Playstation comes with a Blu-ray DVD players installed. Also, in the last few days, Sony released their new online community, Playstation Home, which is free for all Playstation owners.

As for the console price, the standard console which includes a 40GB hard drive will cost just under £295. As for a bundle, you can get an 80GB Playstation with 4 games for around £300.

Obviously the Playstation is the most exspensive, but value for money, I would not say it's worth it. Although the console is similar to the Xbox 360, the Playstation gets less exclusive content than the Xbox, however, with the Playstation, you get free access to the Playstation Network, whereas you have to pay for Xbox Live.

Finally, I would say that the Xbox 360 is the best for online and solo gaming, if you are after family and child friendly gaming, the Nintendo Wii is the best bet.

Caribbean Holidays and All Inclusive Holidays are perfect for this Winter.
