Infinite Undiscovery is counted in the 50 points for 360 RPGs (IU).
RRoD is honestly my main complaint about the 360. I'm a sucker for quality. All my old Nintendo systems still work (!) (And I have all Nintendo consoles).
When do these Jasper chipsets become available? And are they completely RRoD free?

Sure 360 is cheaper, but PS3 has a Blu-Ray drive and free online. Not that I really want BR, but free online is something I enjoy greatly on Wii.

So also my more serious conclusion is that I find it very hard to choose. I don't really see the value of buying both. 80% of the games are multiplat and the systemseller for me is RE5 (and Beyond Good & Evil), the exclusives are a nice bonus.

Here, let me help you with your decision.

Get a 360.

With a PS3 your buying that console on what you hope the future holds. If you're buying a 360, you are buying that console on a whole lot of awesome games you can buy right now.

The only exceptions are for people who own a great PC, if so, stick with the PS3.

JRPG fans like yourself will be happier in the short run with the 360.

 

I can't stress enough how much better I feel since I got a 360, and how crappy I felt when I was a PS3 only owner.

 

 

If you're like me, you:

 

1. Hate God of War(God of Puzzle for you zenfoldor fans)

2. Love JRPG's

 

You have a choice to make. Is your love of Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid gonna make you buy a console with fewer good games? If so, you should get a PS3.

Now, PS3 and 360 fanboys will give you a lot of talking points about how huge and awesome their libraries are.

However, if you play every above average game that appeals to you, you're still only gonna come up with about 11-15 games on the 360, and 8-12 on the PS3.

 

That's why the Wii's library is under-rated. It only has about 10 games worth a purchase, but those 10 games appeal to most people who own that console. MLB08: The Show and Madden make nice gamerankings padding, but honestly, we(who post on this forum) like to think those games are new and exciting, but in reality...no they are running jokes(if you're like me). Padding.

 

So, you have to look at it. You need to buy all of those games pretty soon for a HD system to be worth the price. Would you rather have 8 games to buy, or 11?

 

For me, the consumate Wii fanboy:

A. Who cares about Blu-ray. I just bought a 800 dollar 32" samsung, and I could give a crap. I buy systems to play games on.

B. More games the better. Screw potential, cause games can flop, even Final Fantasy.

C. Neither the 360 nor the PS3's libraries are nearly as good as advertised. However they are good, about Wii level.

D. The systems are pretty evenly matched in the end, all of them, even the PS3.

E. However, the PS3 earns my ire for not having any JRPG's on the system.

F. I only go online to download crap like DLC, unless you wanna actually play online, your 360 will be free too.

 

 

So, in the end, the PS3 isn't the obvious winner, and in fact, the 360 is slightly better atm.

 

So, imo, the Wii still is the best system of this generation. It has almost as many great games as the 360, and they are pretty much all exclusive.

 

However, on average, I play my 360 about 100 times as much as I play my PS3.

 

That's why I suggest to friends that the 360 is a better purchase all around, atm.

 

...but I can see if you weren't a jaded JRPG fanboy spoiled on the PS2, how you could like the PS3 a little better, considering it has MGS4, FF13, Blu-Ray, and a lot more functionality(even though the 360 jump drive MP3 player in game just blows me away everytime I realize that it exists).

 

If the 360 didn't have RRoD, I'd probably wish I had never bought a PS3. That is the ultimate screw up, and it's the reason the 360 doesn't have the bright future from a sales standpoint, that the PS3 and Wii have.
