I'm pretty sure you can't play online on the 360 Arcade, so you don't need that wireless adaptor. Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

You're going to be paying a lot more in the end for a wireless connection that can keep up with it's wired counterpart, yet nobody seems to think that's worth mentioning.

Wow that is an expensive hook.....um.....I say get a Playstation 3.

EDIT: If you do go the Xbox 360 route don't spend $100 on the Xbox 360 wireless adapter, find it for close to 50% off at Amazon.

Also don't buy Mirrors Edge, just rent it, trust me you will thank me latter.

PS3 more reliable. 360 arcades are notorious for RRoD. Get the PS3. You also forgot to put $50 for xlive on the green side and PSN is free.

Why not put the elite bundle on the 360 side, it would make a hell of a lot more sense. Better games all around.

It's what he can get for the money he has. He wants a wireless system and a game or two. If he buys the 360 he won't get as much out of his money.

Elite will cost more and he won't be able to buy games with his budget should he get a wireless card on top of that.

Would I be correct in assuming this isn't for you? Looking at your games list, it would appear you already have an Xbox 360. Regardless, the PS3 list is looking a little better than the 360 list since you have three games up against one. You're getting some nice single player games and Uncharted 2 has some multiplayer, so whoever this is for can give that a shot. Left 4 Dead 2 is really a co-op/multiplayer game only. Playing alone with bots....it just doesn't work well. -_-

Gotta go with PS3 on this one. Not having to buy a wireless adapter and getting Mirror's Edge and Uncharted > the other deal.

PS3 easily, I would reccomend other games tho, ME is short I hear, like rental short, and I wouldn't get Uncharted 1 just cause your getting 2, I'd go for more variety. Either way PS3.

As long as your 360 option has the arcade in it, i would choose the ps3 no matter what. Come on... better let out the wireless adapter and go for the elite instead. In that case, its up to what your friends are playing most. Ps3 or 360.

There's not much point buying Among Thieves the same time as Drake's Fortune. Unless you really wanna try the online. I'd get Uncharted + another game and get Among Theives when I finished the first. The PS3 choice is better here because 3 games > 1 game and a stupid overpriced adapter.

I already have 360 & Wii but I'm really tempted by the PS3 slim with Infamous & KZ2 ( I think ) + B.R. Batman movie, all for 299.99. If WM runs that again and even tho I haven't that much time for gaming, I'm gonna need to snag that deal me thinks.

It's really not going to be a very different experience either way. I'm going to suggest the PS3, and also suggest that you add on Killzone 2 for a great mix of SP and MP, and Dead Space for excellent SP. Both can be had fairly cheap.

Also, see if you can get a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta key. Better than Modern Warfare 2, IMO.

Vaasman

plus all the extra susceptibility of its' signal. Almost impossible to be better than a wire unless you're in a car?

Anyways, if the adapter is that important if you want 360, just get the PS3 stuff for the better value.

Theres currently this deal Best Buy is having:

Xbox 360 Elite

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

250 Gigabyte HDD

2 controllers

headset

That all for I think 400 dollars. If you have military discount, or you can get a few extra bucks for tax, you can get that.

Or, gaming rig parts.

You can do wireless 360 gaming with a wireless bridge. They cost about $30. It's what I used instead of that godforsaken wireless attachment.

or here:

The comments indicate a couple people still getting codes, and a lot of people not getting codes. Good luck.

I didn't notice a difference when I played. It may have to do with the speed of your ISP. I'd say if you can load an HD video on youtube without having to pause then it shouldn't be a problem :P

Not really, if you put that money in the bank in about 1,000 years (maybe more like 2,000 years, thanks 2009 economy) you'll be a billionaire.

I dont see whats so bad about the lists I only have $407 to blow here. If I get U2 I cant get another popular game like Killzone 2, I'll need an extra $25 which I dont have
