Console War



At some point down the road, maybe this summer, I'll probably be upgrading to a Next Gen console. I've been onboard Playstation since the PS1, solely because that's where Squaresoft (Now SquareEnix) was taking their RPGs.

I'm seeing very few ads for PS3 RPGs and a LOT more for the 360. So right now I think that's where I'll be headed. However, I have some level of fear about the "red ring of death" that kills 360s if you play too often for extended marathon game sessions.

I don't have time much for video game marathons, the but thought still concerns me.

So I thought I'd like to open up the floor for input if anyone would care to share. What system should I upgrade to for the most RPG fun at the lowest price/risk factor?

Are their specific RPGs on your console of choice that you'd recommend or that may even be a "system seller" in your mind? I've heard great things about Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Mass Effect. Lost Odyssey also looks pretty frickin' cool. Any thoughts?
