Put simply, I got some money and don't feel the Wii fufills my gaming needs, so I have a choice to make. I know that I don't want the ps3 or psp (one is too expensive, the other has only one game that I want), but that still leaves the 360 or dsi.

They are both about the same price, and my brother already has the ds lite, so I will be able to play multi-player just about whenever I want. However, it won't expand what I can play from my wanted book (bad joke, I know and I don't care).

The other option is the 360, which will expand my wanted list by at least 15 or 20 games, but my parents won't let me do online, so that does mean that I can't get any downloadables (Portal...), but I can still do multiplayer with my brother. Also, I heard the 360 death rate has rose up to 56%, and I don't really have a job, so it will be a while until I will be able to replace it.

I can't make up my mind, but maybe you can. Thanks!

What a stupid question. How can you compare the 360 to a DSi.

The only good thing about the 360 is the multiplayer so if you can't play online with the 360 I would go with the DSi

the 360 Elite is only 300$ now, until the holiday season is over. The DSi breaks really, really easy, 'cause my sis got one and she droped it on her bead and the screen came off. The screen came off on the replacement too. And the 360 has better games, graphics, etc.

360 i think is the best. Better everything. Unless you like more child-friendly games which the DSi is best for.

It's $199 where I live... and it comes with stuff:

XBOX 360 Arcade console is everything you need to begin playing right out of the box, including Family Settings that allow parents to restrict game access for younger players. Comes with a wireless controller, five arcade games, and a memory unit. This console includes an HDMI output, so you can experience your games in the highest definition possible, up to 1080p (HDMI cable sold separately).


The memory unit mentioned is a 512 mb memory card which is basically useless

Seriously just buy the 360 then because the DSi is just pointless
