| im_sneaky said: This may be OT, but i realized we all say "an xbox" instead of "a xbox" because it sounds better... but grammatically isn't it supposed to be "a xbox" ONTOPIC: Get a 360. The games 360 has that ps3 doesn't make up a better library then the Wii. |
I'm not an expert here but it really comes down to pronunciation, not just the simple vowel rule people are taught in grade school. So x actually sounds like "ex" in xbox, which causes it to be "an x box."
Other examples of this are a lot of h words. "an hour" since hour has a silent h and sounds like it starts with o.
Hope that helps!
OT: Honestly, I think you'll do well with either, but since you already have the ps3, the Wii introduces the widest selection of new games that are currently unaccessible to you.
