My son loves his XBOX.
Never had any problems with it.
Plays it every day.
360? If you own a 360 watch the power cords you can't get replacements without some pain. A guy went in to a shop I frequent asking for one. The looked at him like he was stuipid then they told him to call Microsoft.

Those bastards!
Early runs of the XBox 360 had serious problems with overheating. I believe that problem is fixed now and I know that MS set aside a boatload of money to fix units that had already been sold.
For an 11 year old girl that's not in to FPS's I'd recommend the Wii

I'll second that advice, although finding a Wii could be quite difficult.

I know I almost walked. I did find out that he wasn't the first that day. They have no control over what Xbox factory parts they get (like they do with other systems) and MS's record with getting simple replacement parts is bad. This is partly do to the fact they are still new to consoles gaming.

I second that try ebay scalpers they seem to get them sadly
I think you should get a Wii.
For your daughter, you, and any female guests you may intend to have.
-Aude.
PS: Better act fast. They are tough to come by. (The Wii's that is...)
My grandson had his pick of which game he wanted..he choose the Wii...I had to wait in line 2 hours to get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No easy task for a 65 year old...then I got to wait in line again for the Mario game...
You meet a lot of interesting people waiting in line...
Snoozy....
Yeah, Wii. Good luck finding one though.
Ok, I am a hardcore player. The 360 and PS3 compete amongst themselves because it's what most hardcore gamers use. In fact the Wii is a whole different category of console and does not compete with the PS3 or 360. For an 11 year old, I'd recommend the Wii. Also it's great for the whole family.
Aside from that, PS3 has a few advantages, like a much more relaible hardware, and you can play online without paying extra, unlike the 360. What holds the PS3 back, is that they have about half of the games that the 360 has. But there are about 200 new games scheduled for release next year for the PS3.
I am a fan of the Playstation systems, I don't trust anything made by Microsoft and most ppl I know with the Xbox, enjoy the gameplay greatly but 4 out of 5 have had to send the console back for replacement at least once, sometimes 2 or 3 times. I just got my PS3 last week and it f'ing rocks.
But again, if it's mostly for an 11 year old, you can't go wrong with the Wii.
