I find it somewhat strange that a lot of persons with both console will get it on Xbox. We already know about cutscene being higher res, better sound and that you have no disc to swap. Its no big deal by itself I agree but theres also another big thing.

When it comes to JRPG the most important thing on the controller is actually the D-Pad. You can navigate through menu, equip stuff, level up your character, select action, purchase item a lot faster than when using the analogue or the broken D-Pad to navigate those menu.

I respect the fact that someone would prefer being online on the console where his friends are also online. But I have a hard time understanding how achievements could be better than the advantages I mention, still I respect it anyway. Sincerely though, If its not for either of those reason that your purchasing on Xbox than I think you should reconsider whats more important between gaming and a trademark.

Maybe some people are just like me.plain curious how it turned out on the x360.That pretty much the reason Iam getting for xbox.And in all honesty dont give the dpad line If I remember right alot of ps2 rpg made use the analog stick no?Anyways alot of rpgs on the xbox 360 shown controls are not an issue.And knowing the xbox, it will probably look identical to the ps3 version with the exception of inferior lighting and better MSAA.

Swapping a disc takes 10 seconds, it didn't bother me in the PS1 era or the PS2 era or in PC games, so i've always found that point a bit... pointless. It's really a infinitesimal minor niggle, really extreme nitpicking. A worthwhile thing is graphical and audio differences.

However, I have both consoles, and will still get it on 360. That's where most of my friends are, I prefer the way Live works, and love achievements, so I buy all multiplats on 360, with a PC exception here and there due to mouse+keyb. I only use my PS3 for exclusives.

After reading the thread, it's obvious that the vast majority are going to buy the PS3 version. That goes for people who own both the 360 and the PS3, too. It's understandable. What I don't get is the amount of flack the few people who plan to buy the game for the 360 (myself included) are getting.

It takes five seconds to get up and change a disc.

I'm sure, sometime between the time I start the game and the time I finish, I will: Use the bathroom, get something to eat, go to work, visit VGChartz, watch porn, play another game, and watch some porn. That one disc swap will have little to no meaning in the grand scheme of things. So, while we appreciate the concern from the loving PS3 fans, it doesn't matter. If the two versions are equal (and as far as I know, they are), what's the harm in playing the same game with a different controller?

Because Microsoft works for the devil, Jesus told me!

Whah?  Well that explains why Bayonetta (Angel killer) works like it does on the 360!!  It all makes since, now.

Amen

the dpad isn't a valid complaint. Using it to navigate menus is different to using it to perform a super ultra combo is SFIV. Even then it's not that bad.
Just how bad to people think the 360 dpad is that it can't move up or down through a menu system?

my thoughts exactly.

I was talking the use of the d-pad in in games menu, not for controlling the character. All RPGS allow to use either of them but the d-pad is a lot faster. To control the character its the other way around, analogue works better.
