:D I love that game!

Disc swapping never bothered me, but it makes me wonder what is in the game that makes it need that... We haven't had multiple discs in FF since what nine, eight?

Final Fantasy ix was the last disc swapping one as that was the last ps1 era final fantasy then we hit X,X-2,XI(Which was online never thought they should use the numbers for this as imo wasn't a real final fantasy but a online bar!),XII.Restlessly waiting for Final Fantasy XIII,I rememeber when PS3 first came ouot it was a rumored launch title now it looks like hopefully 2010.They are actuallyu working on XIV also but alas that's onother online game just like XI.
as for disc swapping i've noticed rpg's on xbox 360 have been multiple discs like Blue Dragon,and Lost Odyssey

That a nice deal but I've spent so much on xbox it would be a giant hit to the bank account if I were to switch and most of the people I know have 360. I've been one of the lucky people that have yet to get the RROD, But now saying that I wouldn't be surprised if I got it when I get NHL10 :(

Ps3 rules now its 300.00 thats crazy i mean for all the features this thing comes with i think it still was worth the 600.00 price so 300.00 its the biggest steal you will every get if you get one.

ima compare 360 to ps3 show you something

360

1.great games
2.online but cost 50 dollars a year
3 can play music while playing game
4.download content
5. 2 us ports
6. achievments
7.can watch movies [ doesn't come with hd which buy its self is what 200.00]
8. comes with wireless controller but needs batteries which run out every 2 weeks almost and are like 2 dollar for a pack of 2 so lets just say 28.00 for the batteries every 2 weeks unless you get the rechargable battery pack for 30.00.
9.comes with a mic


now thats a summary of what you get with the 360 for 200.00 but when you add everything else you probaly get it comes to 480.00 dollars oh i didn't even add wifi for it which adds it to 580.00

now ps3

1. music player
2. can watch videos
3. comes with free blueray player
4. comes with free wifi
5.comes with free online
6. great games
7. comes with free charger for your joystick
8. goes up to 7 joysticks on 1 ps3
9. online content
10. can use any bluetooth headset as a mic for your ps3
11.4 usb slots on most
12. web browser
13. no disc tray
14 can move system with game in it and on and not get a ring stratch around your game
15 built in fans
16 trophies

and for all that only 300.00 dollars and i left out a few things for it and if you get the slim you get all that for only 300.00 and ps3 thats alot lighter and smaller than the regular ps3

You have to keep in mind when I posted that. That was literally within minutes of the announcement, so the Xbox 360 120GB Elite model's price wasn't slashed yet. In fact, that price cut wasn't announced until just last week. Additionally, the removal of the OS install option is a minimal loss since very few PS3 users were actually installing Linux or anything else on there; to be honest, it was a niche feature, and the advancements in homebrewing for the PS3 have been very limited. Besides, who's really using their PS3 as an actual computer.

But still, when you match up the two consoles at the same price point, the PS3 gets the edge because of the other entertainment features. The gaming libraries are comparable because of the gradual shift away from console exclusivity in today's economy, and online multiplayer is improving on the PlayStation Network. At the end of the day, you'd have to buy additional accessories for the 360 (and a subscription to Xbox Live) to have the same functionality as the PS3, and there still wouldn't be a Blu-Ray option. Plus, the ability to upgrade the hard drive is a major plus, considering how digital downloads are picking up steam, both in demos and full purchases. You simply get more bang for your buck with the PS3.

still , the price cut for the xbox was announced in may at E3 and the ps3 has lost one option the 360 has NETFLIX and an online on demand serviceand the ps3 can not link to your network with a WME I can stream all my movies on my comp hd onto my tv listen to all my music there while some one is using the internet on my pc no problems. Vista + 360 = Bliss , Vista + 360= Epic Fail
