I picked up an original XBOX near the end of it's life cycle and I'm glad I did for a number of reasons. The greatest two of those were the very low cost, and the wealth of excellent games available. I've got dozens of great used games (from EB Games and other places) that I paid less than $10 each for. Sure it's not all in HD with 5.1 sound, but a 5 year old isn't going to notice I wouldn't think. My son is only 3 and loves the racing games already. He mostly crashes (over and over and over) but still has a blast. The PS2 has an even greater game library and is an equally good price these days.

I figure once he and I have exhausted ourselves on the old XBOX, ver 3 may be out, and if not, the 360 should be a lot better price (with mayble even all the bugs worked out - oh to dream...)
