1:Fallout 3 on the PS3 is great.Its maybe somewhat worse that the PC/360 version due to not having Trophies (yet) and a oh so slighty worse draw distance but its pretty much the same.The game will probably add the trophies etc later so dont worry about that .Its a great game for the PS3 too.

2.The 360 has more JRPG right now ,but the PS3 has some good ones.Valkyrie of the Battlefield is probably better then any 360 JRPG and the reviews show that.Disgaea 3 and Folklore are also very good JRPG.Eternal Sonata is the best version available and a good classic RPG.Next year will see many BIG JRPG coming as White Knight Chronicles and Final Fantasy XIII .

3.Theres lots of people playing on PSN.Even on very old games as Resistence and Warhawk the servers are full of people playing.

4.Setting up the PS3 is very easy.If you do it by cable you simply select cable in the internet settings of the PS3 and it fixes everything automatically.If you do it wireless you need a Router with WIfi and enter the Wep/Wap/whatever security code and there you go.

5:Install times.Sometimes annoying ,but its not all the games and usually its some minutes before playing the first time.MGS4 is the only game that has a install before each Chapter ,but its 1-2 minutes it really isnt an issue.

1. I've been wondering the same thing about Fallout3 myself, on the fence about which version i'm going to get (360 vs ps3) As far as i can tell the PS3 version has 1 or 2 additional bugs, over the other versions which have bugs as well, so I think alot of the Inferior on PS3 stuff is overblown.

2.  Well for PS3 right now If you're an RPG fan i'd recomend Folklore - you may be able to find it for cheap if you look hard enough.  Most of the PS3 RPGs will be more JRPG like.  Valkaria Chronicles is a SRPG that's getting very good scores, the game is very polished.  Next year White Knight chronicles is coming, which will be a big game from level 5 - It has an extensive online mode that is supposed to be mmo-ish like monster hunter.

3. MMOs, I think 360 has phantasy star online and FFXI(both of which you can play on PS3 if you have a BC compatible PS3.) As far as MMOs are considered, Sony has alot of them coming in the future for PS3, but who knows when they'll arive.  All of SOE's projects (DC universe, The Agency, Free Realms and whatever comes next) will show up on PS3(and not 360) as well as PC.  The FinalFantasy XI team is working on a next-gen MMO that has been in development for a long time that will be on consoles.  And Sony also contracted with NC-Soft to bring some new MMO projects exclusive to PS3.   I think MMO's have a long history of drying up and never to be seen again, because of the huge investment required and extensive online structure necessary, so it's hard to count on them ever making it. 360 is supposed to be getting Age of Conan, huxley (both of which i wouldn't count on to show up on 360 as developers have made it clear 360 is a second priority) and APB (could be considered an mmo).

4. As far as online play on PS3, It's popular enough to find a game just about anytime on any game,  You may have trouble during really late hours on obscure psn games though. I just went on UT3 and had no problems.

5. Install times, really can be frustrating, MGS4 is the only game where you have multiple times you have to install.  I just usually go make a sandwhich, bathroom break or read the manual.  About half the games from 3rd parties have installs now, but doesn't bug me all that much.

The funny thing about that review too... was IGN had like... one minor negative about that 9.0.

It was a more glowing review then i've seen them give games that are a 10.

It might be a good start for someone who's never played a JRPG or SRPG if only for it's shooter like interface.'

It really wouldn't give him a good feel of a pure JRPG though.  Since SRPGS are vastly different... and the RPG options in Valkria themself are even more divergent from the RPG genre.  (You level up classes together, etc.)

1 : Sorry I dont play Falout3, but i dont thing is worse than the 360 version.
2 : They are curently more RPGs on the 360 but they are all bad, Sony will have the best RPGs, just warch the PS2 vs Xbox.
3 : Probably MMORPG will come in 2009 or 2010
4 : PlayStation Network is free, easy to use, and have no problem.
5 : MGS is the only game I have do that.

Well looks like I'm gonna save $40 bucks....I'm not sure how, but my PS3 is working fine online without the router that I bought, so looks like I'll be refunding it and using the cash for another game. The first PS3 I bought was a 40gb version, not sure if that had anything to do with it. I've actually had 2 random disconnects so far though - one of them was fixed by restoring the system defaults, and the other by changing my IP info.....On my computer, I did cmd -> ipconfig /all, then updated the ps3 with the new info.

How long has the XMB been available within a game? It wasn't like that when I got the 40gb.

Though I'll most likely be sticking with this ps3, one of the big reasons I almost got a 360 was not really for the games, but just cause how popular it is here in the US - I know more people with one. That, and the fact that it already comes with a headset so there'll be more chatter.....though I hear it's bad most of the time anyways =/ I felt that even if I wasn't satisfied with the 360 exclusives, I'll at least have an easier time meeting people with one in person.

Besides Killzone 2 which is sorta almost out, I kinda also my made decision based on some games that are coming out after that, such as MAG, God of War 3, etc, so I'm really really hoping those games end up being worth waiting for or I'll be really dissapointed. And of course, there's Home.

Also, how's Motorstorm 2? I just downloaded the demo and it's really fun but, it got only an 80 from metacritic. Is there something wrong with it? I can't spend too much money on games so I wanna make sure every game I purchase is well worth it.

1) Not really sure. It's definitely at least slightly inferior to the other versions, but usually multiplats are the same. I believe there are some serious bugs on the PS3 version, but nothing that won't be patched soon. You may want to wait. Note: I haven't played it and I don't intend to buy it. The idea of the game just doesn't appeal to me.

2) Oblivion is a great WRPG, perhaps the best available, and one of the few multiplats which is clearly superior on PS3. Not exclusive though. Valkyria Chronicles is a very good SRPG, FFXIII will probably be better on PS3 and FF Versus XIII is PS3 exclusive, and should stay that way. One of the 360's major JRPGs, Eternal Sonata, was recently released on PS3. Oh, and White Knight Chronicles is an exclusive JRPG coming soon. Oh, also, there's Folklore. It looked pretty good from the demo and has a 9/10 on IGN, but I haven't played the full game myself. Try the demo, and don't be put off before the fighting starts. That's exclusive.

3) Nothing big at the moment. There's a PS3/PC RPG called Free Realms scheduled for 2009, but MMOs don't work very well on consoles, without a keyboard to type messages.

4) Oh, no. Most major FPS games have huge numbers of people online. PSN is extremely popular, not least because it is free. Of course, enthusiasm goes down with time. Playing a game online up to, say, 6 months after launch, thousands of people will be playing. This will slowly go down. I have noticed that UT3 numbers are pretty weak right now, but COD4 is still going strong, and may continue to do so even into COD5's release (It won't be as good, believe me)

5) MGS4 is a huge game, the only PS3 game to use a double layered blu-ray disc (50GB) instead of a standard BD (25GB). Installs were necessary before each act because otherwise, loading times would be a nightmare. As far as I know, MGS4 is the only game to have more than one compulsory install; some games don't have a compulsory install at all, but provide the option to do so to shorten load times (Soulcalibur IV and UT3 come to mind). I haven't seen any games with no install options whatsoever.

The four games you mentioned all are/will be brilliant. I can also recommend Uncharted, Oblivion (ONLY if you like RPGs), and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (especially if you have played the PS2 games). There are, of course, numerous other good and very good games on PS3 (such as Valkyria Chronicles and Dead Space), but the ones I have named (as well as the ones you have named) are among the best.

I wish Konami/Kojima forced to users or gave them an option to take 35 minutes and just install the entire freaking game ONCE, before the game starts instead of having to install one chapter at a time. Heck, I'd even accept a 5 hour install.

the game is superb,,,if you think demo was beautiful ,wait till you see the retail version as the demo version was less than 80% finish.

I honeslt don't know why OPM gave it 6 ,,,they said it's good but it's motorstorm 1.5.

I ahve  it and i think it's really ebautiful and fun ,,,much better than first one.

here are soem Motorstorm 2 in game shots of the retail version:
