My son (age 13) is saving for one of these consoles and I want to help him figure out which one would be best for him. Based on what I have read so far it seems like the 360 would be the better choice. It has a lot more games and I have read that their online stuff is better. It will be connected with component cables to a 36" CRT wide-screen TV with 1080i resolution. I don't know anything else about these consoles, so any help is appreciated.
