A friend thinking of getting a 360 or PS3, which one and what games?

Pretty easy IMO. Free online, More Movie-esque games, etc on the PS3. Plus the price is fairly comparable between the two systems and the PS3 still provides Blu-Ray (Regardless of her current desire, she may have future wants).  There is also some interesting games on a relaxed pace like Flower that might resonate well. 

Additionally, you keep sounding like Mass Effect is a big sticking point, which while far-fetched isn't out of the question may arrive for the PS3 at a later date.
