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

add modnation racers to the list as well if shes into the mario kart type of games, most women i know are. (not that most men aren't)

I think Sony makes the best movie like games. Also if she has already netflix Bluray could be atleast a nice add on.

But I dont know her and why you dont show her both of your consoles with some of the games she might like and she can decide then.



Is she a fan of Lost?

:P



well the ps3 does have the whole blueray and free online thing going on, soooo.... yeah



Tell her to buy or rent a PS3 along with those two she's interested in (Bioshock 1 and Heavy Rain).

If she liked one of them or both, recommend her Uncharted 1.

If she liked them but doesn't want to buy more games, lend her Uncharted 1+2.

If she liked one or all of them and is still interested in Mass Effect, you can always lend her your 360 along with ME 1+2.

Most important: As soon as she has a PS3 at her home, tell her to get Flower.

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. 



360 its cheap and all of her friends have it and paying $50 for online is the best thing she could do with her money and Japan is not important..



Th3 360 has a much better controller and game selection.



ps3... why is this even a question. slim is the best value right now among consoles.



Twesterm, are you YOU today?
