Which one, PS3 or XBox 360

My favorite franchises:
1) Grand Turismo
2) Final Fantasy

I'm a huge RPG gamer (not MMORPGS) so typically this leads me to the playstation (or more decently Nintendo DS) platforms.

If you're going for Madden and Rock Band, I'd get an Xbox, it's cheaper and most popular games are cross platform these days

The other question here, are there any XBox exclusive games that are not ported to the PC? I like my shooters better on the PC anyway, and would just be looking for RPG-type stuff on the console to go with sports games and rock band. So combine that with the quieter current generation of PS3 and the inclusion of a Blu-Ray player, and I think it wins out for me, even with the additional cost.

I have MMOd in the past, but unless something absolutely mind-blowing comes out, I will not again. I have better things to do with my time than spend 2-3 hours a day farming or questing to make sure I have the cash to raid on the weekends.

Either way, thanks for the input.

Don't think I can answer that as I hardly play PC games.
