A 120GB PS3 is $300, and a 120GB 360 Elite is $300. The Arcade model is less, but it has no hard drive, and if you want a Live connection, that's another $100 for the adapter plus $50 for a year's membership. A 360 Arcade would be good if you only want the bare essentials, though. I don't have much experience with the "family" library, though, but like cross_breed said, "family game" is a pretty loose term. Is the 360 really the better option money-wise?

For instance, my mother and I used to play Gears of War 2 together (sans gore). Any game can be a family game as long as it's fun and everyone can play it. There are good games that are appropriate for everyone in the PS3, the one that comes to mind is Little Big Planet, and there are also enough more mature games to keep you entertained. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is a fun T rated title (even though it's a little old). If you're a teenager who's looking for a good time, I'd suggest Demon's Souls and Dragon Age: Origins. Neither of those are really family games but they're both really fun single player RPG's for PS3. Good luck convincing your parents.
