Buying a PS3 at $400 may seem a lot at first but the amount of quality and support of said system is second to none. With a strong game catalogue coming in 2009 and 2010 it seems like there is little reason to not start playing B3YOND

..Because some users can't justify $400 on a system that will have very little exclusives to justify such a purchase?

As an RPG gamer (both Western and Japanese), the PS3 is B3YOND the worst choice. I can't justify shelling out that kind of scratch for 2-3 games over the system's lifetime of 'must haves' when I spent a fraction of that on my 360 for a library that dwarfs the PS3 for both East and Western RPGs.

Here's the way I look at it...As a RPG-gamer:

X360:

Blue Dragon

Tales of Vesperia

Two Worlds

Mass Effect series

Kingdom Under Fire (possibly the entire series)

Oblivion content

Fallout 3 content

Fable 2

Culdcept Saga

The Last Remnant

Infinite Undiscovery

+ Star Ocean, Venetica, Dungeon Hero, and a few others for upcoming exclusive RPGs.

 

Playstation 3:

Folklore

Disagaea 3

Valkyria Chroncles

White Knight Chronicles

+ Final Fantasy vsXIII

Sorry. There's no comparison there for a RPG gamer to even want to bat an eyelash in the direction of the PS3. Every system (and I mean every system, even the PSP) has a better list of exclusive RPGs. And they're all cheaper, too. I could buy a Wii + DS (the next 2 best RPG systems) for under what a PS3 costs.

And that, my dear friend, is why I won't be playing B3HIND.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
