I'm seriously considering getting my 4 year old son an iPad. I'm an over-indulgent father, but I guess there are worse things in this world.
When I was a kid, we were happy to get a bowl of soup and a piece of hard candy.
Now kids are so fat they can barely leave the house and all they want are things that will insure that they remain fat.

I was thinking the same thing.
Gameboy!
Your parents actually gave you those things?
I remember we had to walk barefoot in the snow just to stare at the candy store. One year we recycled enough Coke cans to get a piece each. My 8-year-old sister, who was pregnant at the time, dropped that piece of candy and it fell through our house's floorboards, only to be eaten by the chickens.
I would like to know how many 6-12 year old kids can afford to buy anything on that list?
Interest is meaningless without the means to follow through.
I'm interested in a Ferrari. Never mind that I can't afford one.
The adult survey has more relevance.

Not by a long shot. Goto oppo.com for the best blu-ray player
Dude common sense says that out of the couple million that will be sold for each system that a lot are just taking the plunge. Some are re-buys and yes some kids got old enough since the systems have been out forever. PS3 has long been surpassed as best blu ray player since 09 I believe. Still decent at playing teh boo rays, but not the best anymore nor cheapest.
I find it pretty odd, but the P2 was like as well so yeah maybe not shocking afterall.
...mom and dad also bought me one of those. Took me two years of begging before I got it, too.
Don't listen to all these people saying that people buying their kids iPads are bad parents. They're just being internet edgy, or aren't capable of any forward thinking.
My mom and dad got me a computer when I was about 5. It was my first introduction to the wide, wonderful world of technology. You buying your kid an iPad would be the modern equivalent of what my parents did for me.
I actually remember the release of Gameboy in 1990. It was nuts. Just as crazy as an Apple launch today.
Though, I was too busy with my Sega Genesis to care at the time and yes I begged like a maniac for it.

Yeah - but look what happened to you

Its a shame people think these days that a limited device such as the ipad is the equivalent of a computer
Specially for kids that will only play angry birds or random games.

You wanna know what it was like growing up back in the stone age? I'll tell you.
For the first 11 years of my life, our TV only got THREE CHANNELS! On a clear day, we could sometimes get a 4th over UHF.
Hell, most of the time, I had to...like...go outside and crap, because there was rarely anything on TV. It was horrible.
I never said it was the best. I said it was arguably the best. It's definitely a popular purchase for those wanting blu-ray playback - especially since it's a multi-functional device (i.e. plays games, streams media, etc)
Bah. It's all about the Super Nintendo. Doesn't matter that Mortal Kombat didn't have any blood in it, the graphics were still closer to the arcade than the crappy Genesis version.
I have you beat. I grew up in India and got our first TV (a 13 inch black and white) when I was 11 (in 1984) for the Los Angeles olympics. We got one channel! That's it. Doordarshan - it was called. When I was 14 or 15, we got a 20" color TV. Still only one channel!
