We have gone 7.5 years for my son and 5.5 years for my daughter without any kind of console/game unit etc. They are both very active and we play just about every sport you can imagine so we don't really have time for electronic games....they do watch a lot of movies though....Kinda sad when you go to a rink and see little kids hooked up to games and not lifting their heads for hours on end while their siblings are on the ice. I can see the value in this for keeping your kids content and quiet but I would wait until they ask for it and so far I have been lucky that they haven't felt the need yet. I am old fashioned, I know...
