the console takes up to 4 controllers. how old are your kids? im renting TMNT, its being shipped from gamefly right now. turtle power!
Get your xbox modded, then you can store the games on a bigger HD in the xbox, and not have to worry about your kids messing up the disks.

if they are that young, why not get them a gamecube? that system is geared more towards children, and it has 4 controller ports on the console as well. not to mention many of their games are designed for the 'party game' genre, and having very kiddy themes in them.
if your kids were 13, 15, and 17, then I would say get an xbox. but not for 11,8, and 5 year olds. i would go with the cube. and its cheaper.

Have you considered a Gamecube? Nothing against the xbox (I actually own all 3 current systems), but for multiplayer and especially kids, the Gamecube is so much better (except for FPS). Mario Kart, Smash Brothers, Mario Party, Mario Golf/Tennis are good examples. Plus many great kid-friendly games like Mario Sunshine.
Not trying to start a which system is better flame war here.

Ditto that, Gamecube would be great for kids that age, has some games for the older one too, like metroid prime, etc. But overall I like xbox the best,

Xbox has Shrek Super Party, Finding Nemo (1 player), and ummm not much hehe... Yah Gamecube would be a better console for kids and family oriented games. I loved Mario Kart and Tennis on N64... Hrmm how much is Gamecube now?

Hummm, never thought about the gamecube. since i dont follow console games i didnt know they still made it. Ill check it out and cheaper is better.
Do you have a Target nearby? They have a platinum gamecube that comes with 2 controllers AND Mario Kart for $99. Great deal!
Edit: Make sure that you get 2 more controllers so that you can have your 5 year old school you at mario kart on chistmas morning

Yes i do and thanks for the info. i was just checking out the prices of games and overall game cube is the way to go for me. cheaper console, cheaper games and accessories.
thanks!
Get them Dance Dance Revolution and the foot mat, here is an example http://www.redoctane.com/ddrextremekonamipad.html
you're likely to find the combo cheaper on ebay.
