Re: xbox deal or no deal?

Question

Thanks for the input......I live in Canada and the xbox360 (2005) is in most stores (if you can find one in stock) for 600.00 plus CA
The Wii system was simular to the game cube in that the games are simular....geared towards children.
My son wouldn't really have a preference as to the system, as long as there were "cool" games available. He likes Medal of Honor.....Time Splitters......such games as these. Mario, Spyro.....he has them, but prefers action/war games.
The xbox that is for sale is just xbox.....not the 360.
We checked into pricing of the xbox360 in the US, but could not find a store with a system in stock. Hot item I guess?
We had considered the Wii system, just had the concern running into the same game preference problems that we have with Game Cube.
