Blu Ray - You might scream thats not needed but from a non biased perspective its a plus (albeit a small one) Free online - 0 is 0 no matter how good or bad is what you get... Japanese support - KONAMI, Square Enix, Namco, Capcom...all support PS3 more despite its sluggish start. Future Proof - The potential is great regardless if it might not survive to live up to it. Exclusives - Gran Turismo, MGS, WEJL/FE, Tekken, FFXXIII... Region Free - NO NEED to get illegal modchips to play exclusive to Japan and USA games importing games etc etc... Cumbersome to pirate - Most of pirated copies are sold in hard format as a physical disk...with BR being very new and the blank disks/RWs costing too much it might help to slow the pirates down significantly...
Disadvantages: Expensive machine - Hell €630 isnt a small thing...Its like a CD6300 + 8800GTS a combo thats twice as powerful as PS3... Expensive games - €75($94) per game...crazy... Hazardus investment - Floppage probability quite high...and a risk getting a Dreamcast2... Wait wait wait - Out in Europe in March/No price drop on the horizon....Sony truly loves Eurogamers... Losing Exclusives - Imagine getting one to play MGS4 just to find out that its also out on the 360...
Xbox360: Advantages:
Good Price/Features ratio - If youre just a casual gamer its a perfect choice... Easier to develop - Which means better games and faster... Cheaper games - Started at €70/€75 and have dropped to €55/€60 in just one year... Headstart/Install base - Stronger 3rd party support... M$ - Lots of cash to prevent dreamcasting...
Disadvantages:
Ports ports ports - For an owner of a gaming PC that is... Overly relying on Shooters - FPS = M/K for a PC gamer no matter how one spins it... M$ ditching it - Xbox1 was ditched quite harshly...so it might happen again... Small format size - Supporting the above if M$ sees DVD9 as inadequate they might sharply release a Xbox720 in mid 2010....with painful consequences for the 360... Easy to pirate - DVD9 format is well known to pirates for almost a decade the games are small enough to circulate on teh net...and the blank disks/RWs are VERY cheap... Weak Japanese support - With Japan being the capital of NON PC gaming this is crucial...
Have a nice day... To the part about the Easy to pirate: DVD9 is a recent development, far more recent than standard DVD's (and certainly not a decade old). They are very hard to pirate given M$'s digital watermarks on all their games, and I am yet to see a DVD9 disk in the store. Also, PS3 games are nowhere near $94, and neither are 360 games.
i am considering sending them a link to this forum to show them everybody who wants it that is regestered on game spot.

That's going well. But seriously, JSRF was a launch game, many years ago. Why play a launch game from a previous system? I'm sure they considered it, but realistically, it probably won't happen. It's like reselling King's Quest 1, or another game. Too old. Good luck though, maybe it will work...
