If the money dont grow up on the on your back, buy a DS, better games, lower price. If you have one, then, use the money to buy more games, i would do that.

i say get a 360, since the quality of the hardware has really improved over the past year+ and the library of games is huge. plus i feel the new xbox live experience with avatars and everything else would make the decision easier, but either way good luck with your decision.

PSP

I have faced similar choice recently, having a Wii and a good PC at home (bought very recently) i was thinking about buying a 360.

But since recently i'm on a move constantly i've decided to get a handheld instead, and PSP (buying the 3000 as soon as it comes out)seems to be more appealing to me then the DS. Looking at your situation i would get a PSP, since it does have quite good library of titles, plus the media capabilites.

If money is the issue get a slim and light because it will get a price cut.

Does anyone know when will the 3000 come out in the UK?

One could have said the same thing (bolded) about your "friends" dilemma of PS3 or 360. But I'm not going to take this more off-topic.

You already gave him the correct choice.

There has been no official release date, but you should expect it in the next few weeks

My missus has a DS, and it's been gathering a lot of dust. Don't have any games for that one myself.

@bouzane: I have a medium pc that can run everything well enough. Bia: HH on highest settings for example and that game is extremely recent.

I still play Gran turismo online a lot, an rts called Blitzkrieg which is old, but enjoyed by an extremely hardcore crowd and the usual bunch of games, GTA, COD and that sorta stuff. Used to be more diverse in my active PS2 era, but too little time nowadays. Did get LBP on preorder though.

360

That game isn't a good example for awesome graphics
