We are doing "Secret Santa" at work... well the cooworker who's name I picked out of a hat is homo (for reals). Now, since I have a buddy who works at GameSpot, he can hook me up with a nice discount on a 360, a PS3, or a Wii. I was thinking of picking one of them out for him. Now, I don't know which one he would like better. What do you think is a better system for him?

I was thinking the PS3, but I'm not sure.

Note, that usually people at work get each other $400 gifts - incase you were wondering.

Depends on said coworker's preferences, but I'll just go ahead and recommend the 360, then the Wii, then the PS3.

get him whatever you have, so in this case if he doesn't like it, he won't feel too bad cause you have the same thing, lol. misery loves company, or bring it up in a convo and feel him out. ;)

i think if he has never been into gaming then i think the wii is a good choice. if he is then i suggest getting him a 360. (i heard in mass effect you can be gay maybe he'll be into that)

Are you sure it's not 40 dollars instead of 400? I've never been in a Secret Santa where the limit has been more than 20 bucks...

well, he can watch movies at least. 360 is the obvious choice. most games, best games, undisputedly. ps3 has nothing but movies.

Alrite, so it looks like I am going to get him a PS3... I figure I could always use that 20% off KMart coupon. I imagine it will suit him well.

Wii then PS3 then 360.....I don't really think he (given his "preference") would be into the 360. It's a very masculine machine (yeah, masculine, that's right).

I'd say go for the ps3. Even if he doesn't play many games he can use it as a blu-ray player.

If he doenst have an HDTV, hold off on that one. Blu Ray is kinda a useless investment without one. Id go 360 for now. Tones of games, more varied games, and its cheaper, perhaps the PS3 next year,when there are few more good games, but for now id say 360.

How about giving him $400 in one dollar bills. Then give him a lap dance to earn it back. LOL

Did you really need to put that :?

Dont get him a ps3 he might already have enough paper weights

Dont get him a 360 because it might die on him the next day

Get him a wii it's cheaper ad alot more fun then the ps3 and 360. Or a DS.
