Euphoria -
Just remember, very few of the people that responded negatively to your inquiry of a X360 purchase actually own, or regularly play, an Xbox 360.
The fact is, there's a pretty decent community of RPG-only X360 games, of both Western and Eastern games. If you have RPG questions, ask myself, Starcraft, Ari_Gold, Thibje, NeoRATT, ckmlb, starcraft and a few others all are big on the X360 RPG scene. Many of us here aren't the steriotypical FPS X360 fan. In fact, I'd say that we anticipate the RPGs more than the FPS games. Just go look at the old posts from our members, and you'll be quick to see that we're dedicated to the RPG base that the X360 has.
Also on a quick note: you've indicated that you like Gears, and like story driven RPG gameplay. I'd definately rent Mass Effect. It's one of the best Western RPGs, but has alot of strong JRPG elements in it....Worth a buy in my book. Worth a rent even if your not keen on WRPGs.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
