Console choices

For rewarding single-player experiences:

Super Mario Galaxy (platformer)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (ditto)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (adventure/puzzle)
Metroid Prime Trilogy (first person shooter/adventure)
Donkey Kong Country Returns (platformer)
Okami (adventure/puzzle)
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (strategy rpg)

The top four of these, though single player, do tend to be gf-friendly. Engaging experience, fun without frustrating, etc.

I'd add Cursed Mountain to that list too. A real sleeper hit for the Wii, imo. Very eerie atmosphere, and some modest scares but with accessible enough gameplay for non-hardcore types to get into.

As to PS3 vs 360, I say PS3. Free online and exclusives that are more to my tastes. Infamous 1&2, Demons Souls and Valkyria Chronicles are all amazing.

The 360 slim has a built in wireless N hardware.

So does the normal ps3

Ya, and don't forget about Silent Hill: Shattered memories. Many fans hate it but it's the best Silent Hill since Silent Hill 3 imho, maybe even better

Which version of the PS3 has wireless N? My brother in law has an 80 gig one and it's wireless G.

From when? Like I said early ones, like my brother-in-laws, are wireless G.

From all the time, check the network options

It was apprved in 2009, I think the PS3 has been around for a little longer, pretty sure my 2nd(or 3rd? got the 40GB) gen model doesn't have it.

This also lists all models with b/g WiFi, which would mean none of the models have it.

Odd, must be a US release thingie, guess not all ps3 models will CHANGE HOW WE THINK OF WIRELESS GAMING FOREVER because it's made by Sony
