Two things: why did she tell him what hes getting for christmas?! Talk about ruining the surprise...
And also; this shows what I've been trying to tell people lately in here, your average consumer has gotten a lot more informed on products and specifications than before. The HD era is being ushered in, and most people manage to keep up with development.
As for this particular case, I'm sure an 8 year old is better off with a Wii than a PS3. Sony don't exactly go to great lengths to make their console kid friendly...

Yeah, i guess it's the internet and message boards working.  Just "mom" message boards.  Maybe that's where Sony and the others should be paying people to post!

I'm somehwhat shocked their care that much though.  I mean my parents never cared when I got my SNES that it wouldn't play NES games.  I guess it's thanks to the PS2. 

Of course... I never took down systems and just got a second TV anyway hooking 2 systems up per TV.  So..
