You got yourself into a pickle real quick.

I would suggest you rent Ghost Recon, Dead Rising and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Ultimately I would go with Ghost Recon, but it is a tactical shooter style game, and I am not sure of your skills.

Look, the PS3 is set to launch on Nov. 17, and the Nintendo Wii on the 19th of November. If he is actually bringing the PS3 WITH Resistance: Fall of Man, then you will have a hard battle before you. Also realize that he should not have a copy of that game and even if he did, will probably not bring it because he should be under an NDA (same goes for the PS3). Regardless, feel free to take pictures and post them here if he does bring one or both.

As for the Nintendo guy, bless his heart, but if he's coming over with a copy of Zelda and a GameCube, he's gonna lose $30 in a hearbeat.

Lastly, you made the right choice with the 360, and tell your dad he is a smart man -- neither you nor he will be disappointed with your choice.

Oh, and battling Playstation fanboys is like dealing with a bad rash; no matter how much ointment you apply, it still continues to itch.
