Go and get a PS3. If its for your father, spend the extra twenty bucks and get the standard remote for it so he won't get confused by the controller.

Does you father have any requirements of a player or aversions to gaming machines?

If he uses a universal remote, it may be better to get a stand-alone player. Although, there is an IR work around for the ps3.

Talking Thanks!

it looks like PS3 wins hands down!

I'll buy him the remote too, last time he tried watching movies and
the analogs on the PS3 controller kept moving he went berserk on himself
haha

Yeah he wants it like NOW so I'm leaving right now.

thanks again!

If you need to buy now, PS3. But like previous posts, could be interesting with the newer players coming...

Geeze, not like the op wrote a long post and the point was missed that he has a PS3.

Those seem like fair choices for players. At least someone was reading.

With his time frame and price range the best option is the PS3.
