if your son like CoD xbox is releasing a limited edition CoD MW3 package with a CoD themed 320gb console 2 themed wireless controllers and the CoD game being released on the 8th November for £270, they did a similar package for Gears of War 3 and it was a huge success you can pre-order from game now

well if you want you could trade your ps3 in for the package then you would get the package for next to nothing which would leave you with more cash to spend on games. Thats if you want to trade your ps3 difficult decision i know lol

I got an xbox and they are brilliant. The are only 2 models of the Xbox 360. There is the 4GB and the 250GB. The 250GB I would recomemend the most as it's £189.99 in argos which is relatively cheap compared to PS3.
Here's the 250GB: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... 3EXBOX.htm

Online experience I find is much better than PS3 as I had PS3 but switched to Xbox in june. The only catch is that you have to pay £35.99 a year for the online. You can buy a 3 month membership aswell which I think is £15, not sure though.
Here's the 12 month membership: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... X+LIVE.htm

The Xbox comes with a wireless controller but you need batteries for it. They do include batteries in the box but if you are fed up of buying batteries every 20 minutes then I recommend buying either the play and charge kit or the reachargable battery pack.

playing online with the xbox is miles better plus the options you get are amazing if you have sky at home you can wire the channels through your xbox so its like having multiroom, you can buy and download films, msn messenger and facebook can be accessed through your xbox. The only problem you may have is if you buy an xbox you may never see your son again as he will never leave his room lol.

Get it flashed mate,games for 5pound online!
