xbox has been known to be not that rpg friendly. but there are a few. ever heard of kotor? game of teh year. also had morrowind. xbox 360 has the current oblivion (HORSES PWN!!!) and the much anticipated mass effect is coming. my big problem with the ps3 is price. 600 dollars is way to rich for most people, and with games varying from 60 to 100 dollars thats a moneyburning combo. and if its about the games not power then i'll play my nes cause hell, they got some damn good games on that. lol also ken kutaragi the head of sony said that the ps3 definitely wasnt a console but a pc. so i guess thats kinda weird. cause why not get a pc then? you can read that in egm.

Keep in mind that Sony also stated that the spyware that they installed on computers (the stealth programs that installed if a Sony label's CD was played on a computer) wasn't "an issue" since most customers didn't realize that the programs existed.
Please remember that these were:
1. installed without ANY notification to the user.
2. were hidden from spyware and anti-virus programs.
3. interfered with making copies of ANY CDs (even if it was considered legal "fair use"),
4. were impossible to remove (editors from computer magazines actually disabled CD drives to the point of needing a reinstall in an attempt to remove these malicious programs)
5. Opened "back doors" for virus writers due to the poorly written/tested nature of the programs. Additionally, since they were hidden and not admitted to exist until the media caught on, anti-virus programs weren't able to locate the holes. By the time these were well-known, there were alredy 10 documented viruses/trojans that took advantage of these programs.
How is this not an issue? They hurt consumers, but felt that it wasn't publicized enough to make it an issue. Sony is known to make misrepresentations about nearly EVERYTHING. I wouldn't want a Sony "PC" or "console" in my home. Who knows what spy functions that thing would have or whether it would inadvertantly damage other equipment in an errort to thrwart piracy?
