Which video game system should I buy for my 3 kid(ages 8-6-5)?PlaystationII good enough?Games good this age?

The big issue is that I want something good enough with good availability of games for the next 2-3 years for those ages. I definitely do not want to create video game addicts. Actually, I am not against rational use of video games, but still the less the better. Rather have them playing outside.But there seems to be a big difference in price between PS2 and xbox and PS3. Not sure reason. Are xbox and PS3 more for adults or fanatic teenagers?

Get the Nintendo Wii, perfect for kids
Wii, and i think the Vsmart (hehe) good system
Nintendo is the way you should go. They have games like Super Mario and Zelda which are aimed at a younger age group. With the nintendo WII just coming out that your best bet. It will last for a few years and it will have the games like Mario and Donkey Kong. The basic WII starts at $250. With the age your kids are there is no need to buy a $600 PS3 or even an XBOX. But a PS2 might be alright aswell. Its fairly cheap and the games go throughout the age groups so as your kids get older you can get different games
go with the ps2 unless u can afford ps3(it can play both ps1 and 2 games) if u buy the ps2 u can probably buy cheap and inexpensive used games ps1 games that u can play on ps2. plus all of their friends probably have the ps2 game system so they can share their games. the difference between the ps1,2, &3 is that the graphics are improved with every model, just like tv sets (ie: regular tube type tv, lcd tv, plasma tv) hope ur kids enjoy their game system:)
I am nine and I prefer the old Xbox or the Xbox360 Me and my father were xbox people xbox has great games for all ages
REALLY U SHOULD TRY GAME CUBE ITS CHEAP 2 GET 1 ....LOT BUTT LOAD OF KIDS GAMES LIKE MARIO KIRBY AND WAY MORE WONT GO WRONG NOW IF U WANNA USE THE GAMECUBE ALSO THERES NOT ALOT OF OLDER ADULT GAMES.... BUT IF ITS FOR THE KIDS ONLY GET A GAMECUBE
If your kids are that young and will still be a pre-teen 3 years from now, I would suggest getting them a nintendo wii. It is a lot more family friendly, it doesn't have as many violent games, and the new motion sensor wii-mote promotes movement, and although this is no replacement for fresh air and exercise, it's still a great buy!
I recommend Delta Force 2 (an ultimate shooter game) and NFS 2 (need for speed a racing game). These are fabulous and I still play them they give skill in mind and swiftness in thinking. these games are for all ages. Delta 1 was made in 1988 to train the US army without opening a big training centre. So its very useful.it has 4 versions now and NFS 6 versions but Delta I play it on my PC but NFS has a PS version.
I have the Game cube and you can get an attachment to put on the bottom of it that plays all the game boy advance games on it also. I just bought the Gameboy PSand i like it to plus i can play all the games with the Game Cube. There are a lot to choose from for the younger ones between Game Cube and Game Boy Advance Games. The games vary but tend to be cheaper than the games for the others!
