PC or Wii?

Hey,

I was wondering what would be the best thing to get for my Godson for his birthday. I want to spend £180 max; and was thinking either a Wii or a PC with about 512mb RAM and a 2Ghz CPU, both of which I can get for that price.

Which one should I go for? He's 14, and likes to program, but also likes video games. ATM his PC has 128mb RAM and a 600Mhz CPU.

Get him something that he won't spend all day on. Video games are less addictive than computers in my opinion, plus you have to sit close to the PC monitor when using it, so get a Wii. Also, on a Wii, you can get two games in one and stuff.

i guess a PC with about 512mb RAM and a 2Ghz CPU would be something that would need to be upgraded again soon, so the wii is my advice. or something completely different

Hmm, it's just that he's a developer too, and a 600mhz PC simply isn't enough. Though, I guess you're right that it will need to be upgraded.

I suppose the Wii is the better option.

Yes, I'd recommend the Wii if you already have a good PC. Some of the Channels on there are awesome.

Looks like it's the Wii hands down.
