LOL I'm sure Xbox 360 fans are more than willing to trade up Mass Effect and Bioshock for MGS4 and FF XIII

sure but I would prefer to trade :

HS/Unchartred/Warhawk/Lair vs Bioshock alone ...

Of course they would but it ain't going to happen because it doesn't work that way.

360 has Splinter Cell Convinction exclusive anyway.... Damn Ubisoft.

Halo 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock for MGS 4, FFXIII, Killzone 2. Thats a fair trade.

I would trade Mass Effect for MGS4, but Halo 3 and Bioshock can stay on the Xbox 360.

Mass Effect is dirt crap compared to MGS4 and FFXIII,  not to mention are totally different genres from what you suggested to trade. FPS games FTL... there are already too many on the PS3 and we don't need anymore.

Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 also coming which makes it worse.

XIII and MGS4 are priceless because they are something different from what's currently available.

You cant say that Jhlennon since MGS4 and FF are not out.

In my opinion you can keep them as long as i get mass effect, ive rarely been as impressed as i am with this game. the ONLY thing that hurt really hurts the game is the framerate issues and loading. Besides that its a jewel in video games. This game has so much to offer, and no rpg has ever offered more replayability.

To say mass effect isnt unique is completly rediculas, least in my opinion. Yet to play a game with the amount of cotent, voice acting, and the way story evolves.

Mass effect is dirt crap compared to MGS4 and FF 13.........HA

Oho, greatest huh?

Graphics? Well you can take your realistic looking game with shitty frame rate and load issues and I'll take my beautifully painted 2D games like Chrono Trigger and FFVI.

Story? While Mass Effect has awesome background and characters, it doesn't compare to FFVI and its character development.

Replayability? Mass Effect does offer incentives to replay the game several times, but I doubt most people are going to play the entire game through more than one time. That leaves you with about 15-20 hours of gameplay on average. If you look at something like FFVI that game lasts, what, 40 hours? If you look at Chrono Trigger that game has 13 different endings and it does a great job at encouraging players to actually want to come back.

I won't argue that Mass Effect is a wonderful game but just don't say it's the best at anything besides perhaps voice acting.

-edit-
As for talking about FFXIII and MGS4 and trying to compare those games, there's no point in even trying since, you know, none of us have played the finished game yet.

@twestern.

I would give Mass Effect a nine and a half. Its story was as good or better than that of any game I have ever played (Bioshock included, though thats a close call), and my total play time was just a little over 35 hours. I have just begun what will be my second complete play-though, which will bring my game-time to around 70 hours. Admittedly it will then be a few months until my next play through, but you can rest assured it will happen, and will mean this game has given me over 100 hours of enjoyment.

EA will own the Mass Effect license Jan 1st 2008. They can then port it anywhere they choose then. Regardless of MS publishing it, EA can port it.
