I have XBOX360, my wife loves it coz XBOX360 has alot of Arcade games and puzzle games.

I've never seen PS3 working, and how it works on the LIVE like XBOX360.

If i were to buy PS3, PS3 must meet her requirements, Aracdes Games, Arcade Games, and less CDs..

Can anybody explain, or show or give me links to this info, so that i can BUY the PS3 as soon as possible.

Just buy the PS3. Once she sees how cool it is, all will be forgiven. Besides, forgiveness is easier than permission. Otherwise, just beg her, like I did.

If you can find someone with a PS3, you can take her there and show her the Playstation Store online. They've got plenty of arcade games.

I think your best in is to go with the Blu-ray angle like someone said before me. Once it's in the door she'll see all of the other features and games that make it cool. It even had a web browser. Tell her that she can watch her favorite Youtube videos on it on your 55 inch (or whatever size you have) HDTV.

ps3 has plenty of arcade games. prob more than 360. like mega man street fighter crash commando everyday shooter. the list goes onrolltide101x

Actaully it has a lot less. and I mean like half as much, maybe a quarter of what's available on XBL. The biggest downside for the PS3 £3.99 games is you can't download a demo of most of them. You can't even dl a trailer for most of them. But there are some good ones like Flow, Last Guy and the Parachuting one. Just don't expect XBL or you will be serioulsy disapointed. Expecially if you are in to the online side of gaming. If you have a 360 then there's no real need for a PS3 for gaming you've got it covered with a better machine already IMO. Buy it for it's blu-ray that should be reason enough. Blu-rays rocks on a 1080P TV. + It's a blu-ray player that does games and has a web browser!

It has plenty to choose from. I haven't seen what the 360 has but they aren't that many puzzle games. It has Lumines Puzzle Fighter 2, Piyotama, Puzzle Quest. Pixel Junk Monsters is a tower defense game which has quite a bit of strategy involved. Pixeljunk Eden is a platforming game and trying to find all the pieces to make your garden grow can be challenging. The Last Guy is also rather puzzly trying to save all the people from the zombies while trying not to get killed yourself.

People here obviously never had to convince a woman to buy something. Don't come up with technical stuff. Just say that the color of the PS3 matches the furniture or something.

psn has some good "arcade" games...the big difference between 360 arcade games vs ps3 arcade games is every 360 version has a trial...only a few ps3 versions give you a trial version.

Less CD's? What does that mean? Like discs for the game cause REALLY only one or two games are like that and I HIGHLY doubt your wife plays them. Also if she already likes the 360 why are you so desperate to buy a PS3?

Blu-ray looks nice no doubt but the format is WAY to expensive right now. 30 plus dollars for a movie is outlandish and not worth it considering normally people watch their purchased movies a grand total of two times, and the fact they can be downloaded for a fraction of the cost now from PSN, LIVE or your own cable company with multiple viewing options throughout the course of a 24 hour period makes the format almost useless.

The thing that worked for me was the surfing the internet from your arm chair.

Knowing she could go on facebook and pay the bills and do what ever online from he armchair was ideal for her.

That and the promise of a new ipod.

I don't think there's going to be enough "Arcade" style games on the PS3 when compared to the 360 to satisfy your wife. I think there's some pretty good games that women get into on the PS3 like Buzz and LBP, my wife loves both of them, but as far as the PSN, I just don't know. I'm sure that there's a lot of stuff coming down the pipe and there's also Blu Ray.

buy it, buy LBP. Make a level that says "*Insert your name here* LOVES *insert your girl's name here*.

Have sackboy pass those words in a vehicle and then make a jump.

I did this for my girlfriend and she loved it. Since then, whenever she comes over, she loves to play LBP.

My wife loves blu-ray and the video store. She rented 2 movies just yesterday. She also loves the picture playback with music. Great for holidays for visiting family members to catch up on what we've been doing.

Thanks all for the replies, Why rush ? --- I want to play the new MGS ... argh... , but in order to do that , i have to buy PS3. To buy PS3, i have to make sure that she can play games on PS3 too. I'm now searching for any available GURLS games for her to see...

Pixeljunk Monsters is a great one to play with a girlfriend, Eden can also be a lot of fun..
it really depends on what kind of games she likes to play.

if you have kids, play up the bluray... Disney and Pixar movies are phenominal on bluray
i thought Wall-e looked good upscaled until i got the bluray.. wow..

dont listen to the idoits on here trying to cause trouble with their "manly attitudes"
theyve obviously never been in a serious relationship and dont understand what it means
to comprimise. and theyve probably never had to work with a household budget either.

youll get one when the time is right.. msg4 isnt going anywhere.
