PS3 - worth it or not?

Thanks, did you mean the 60GB is quieter than the 40GB?

No the 60GB is noiser than the 40GB and later (Quiet versus near silent), though far quieter than my Dreamcast, Xbox, PS2 and my mates 360.

In a spacious room this moot, but in a smaller room watching a quiet film it is just noticeable.

I've heard that the 60GB's get quite noisy, is this true?

Noisy is an overstatment, at load (playing a heavy game or complex Blu Ray) the fan noise is noticeable. My mate never complains about his though as it is still better than his other consoles.

Actually no, this is one area that the PS3 really lacks. There are way more JRPGs on the 360 than the PS3.

Enchanted Arms and Eternal Sonata have both been ported from the 360 to the PS3. Valkyria Chronicles is great, but is a strategy RPG not a normal JRPG.

That's strange.. Star ocean 4 is coming on the 360 aswell o.o
Why would Japan's own console have less RPGs?

Because the DS is the real home of JRPGs now. Also bare in mind Microsoft setup a studio just to make JRPGs and the 360 is a lot less frightening to program.

Also if you were going to develop a Playstation RPG which Playstation would you choose? the PS2 or PS3? Persona 3/4 have both been late in the PS2's life and PS2 tech is hardly unknown to the smaller JRPG studios.
