OK, thought maybe I'd come here to see if any of you car guys are also into video games. Long and short of it...I'm video game stupid. Last system I owned was in the late 80's, so it tells you what I know.
Does anyone know the dumbed down version of what the difference between Xbox and PS3 is? Do they function differently? I'm looking for a system that I can play NASCAR '08 or other racing games on, and also that may have games appropriate for my 4 year old son. But I have no clue what the differences between the systems are. And if I'm right, there are several versions of the same system, such as Xbox 360 or Elite, etc...
I'm so confused...almost like the first time I looked at all the Cobra replicas out there.

Anyone out there familiar with these things??
