Buying advice for video games consoles this Christmas - Should you buy a PlayStation3, Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii?

Games consoles are always on Santa's list so I've put this guide together to help you select the best one for your needs.

You have three main players Sony's PlayStation 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii. Most shops offer deals on 'bundles' where they add games and quote discount prices, beware that the console price is not discounted and the games they 'bundle' are not good value most could be picked up for less than they quote they're worth. So check the game reviews online in this blog or go for the extra controller or cable (more later on cables) offers. Make sure it's an official controller and not some cheap third party junk.
