Which video game player?

I'm thinking several months in advance here.

Which video game player should I get?

I have 3 kids, ages 6 months to 4.5 years.

I used to play a lot of first person shooters, but never really have the free time anymore. I mean, who has 8 hours to kill with 3 kids? I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning; I can't stay up to 3:30 anymore, playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

In effect, I need it mostly for my kids. I won't be playing it much.

I don't have a BD player, either, so I'll be buying that too if I don't get a PS3.

I think I just answered my own question. Anyone not happy with their PS3?

Judging from the kids' ages, if anything I'd say a Wii would be the best choice (but trust me, no good FPSs for the Wii).

Sounds like you need a WiiPS3.

If you also need to buy a Blu-Ray player, it would be silly not to get a PS3. The PS3 is the best Blu-Ray player on the market right now, and the most advanced due to the fact that its firmware is upgradeable. Case in point: The firmware in the PS3 was just recently updated to 2.20, which added support for Blu-Ray LIVE, and as a result the PS3 is the only Blu-ray player on the market that supports that function.

Hell, why not buy all three! and end the fanboy wars!
