get a PS3. period. i was in the same situation 2 years ago. i had my xbox 360 for a while, loved it.

but once i got PS3, i was immediatly hooked. blu-ray player, web browser, excellent games, free online and more.

once i had PS3, my 360 collected dust. so if you have the money to buy a PS3, do it up.

oh btw if you have a HD tv PS3 is a MUST hence the blu ray movies. (lotr on blu ray made me wanna cry)

plus the fact that you will no longer have to pay for live. live should be free, we pay for internet, we pay for electricity, paid for the 360 and yet they charge people to play online. microsoft is all about buisness. PS3 is where its at for gaming. look at the games comming up for 360, all they have now is Gears of war.

Make Metal Gear Solid 4 one of your first purchases, you wont regret it. For online MP, Uncharted 2 is incredibly fun. Of course theres Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, Little big Planet 2 comes out real soon. Those are just some of the most well known games, I could go on, but if your not aware of them already, check out the PS3 games comin out next year, this is prolly the prime time to buy a PS3 console, especially during this time of the season, u can get a gr8 deal price wise. Also games will be on sale as well.

Dragon age origins, asssassins creed 2 and brotherhood, and dirt 2 are multi-plat. tell him to get some exclusives otherwise if he wanted them he would already own them... anyways, yes Uncharted 1&2 are great as well as Heavy Rain. if you are interested in racing you could get Gran Turismo 5 also

i would wait on MGS4, though it is one of my favorite games if he hasnt played the 1st 3 he may want to try and borrow the game first to make sure he likes the story, or try and play the first 3. there are other games he can get into right now that would be better.

inFamous is a must play, and if you like shooters then you should get Killzone 2. LittleBigPlanet is surprisingly good, and Ratchet and Clank is fantastic as well.

Yes, get the PS3.

As for games, I would recommend Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 & 2 (not really exclusives, but if you have not tried any of them this would be the best time to do it).

Get MGS4 if you have played or are planning to get the previous ones. UC2 is probably the best exclusive IMO but Demon's Soul's is great too.

You left a TON of other games off that list you made. You're better off going to the 'Game recommendation thread' though. Those who want game suggestions usually get directed there before their thread is locked up.

Yes get a ps3, you can pick up uncharted 1 and 2 for pretty cheap now, I borrowed them both off a friend and played through them both in one sitting, there that good and they were the first games I played on my ps3. Next you want to get Infamous, dragon souls, pretty much everything people have said, if you get bored at all with waiting for games (I dont) then buy blu rays and enjoy the true beauty of home cinema.

Don't listen to these people. Wait a week and if you still have "urges" to get a PS3 by then, do it.

I've learned that from "Fat Princess". I wanted to get that game so badly back when it was released but i had no cash and was forced to wait a week. After the week went past I realized that it actually was a sucky game and I decided not get it.

Worked out great.

I recommend getting the Move bundle too. If you plan to play Heavy Rain do it with the move, just trust me, such an amazing experience over a normal controller.

Lol, you really expect someone from the PS3 board to tell you not to buy a PS3?
