On the X-box issue, yeah there were some problems with the power connector on the back as Schultz said, I just the other day had to open mine to solder the points back on.
As for the whole east vs west thing.. at the moment the current X-box is very much a "western" console, and although it does have some good Japanese games, it was definatly not enough this generation. That is why most people feel that X-box was mostly western games and PS2 had alot of Japanese support. So I am of the view that Japanese RPG's are better than their western counterparts, but that is because I mainly play an RPG for the story, but western RPG's always seem to be free roaming, so after 10 mins I get bored and stop playing because to me it has no point. But that is just my opinion on the matter.
Anyway, M$ seem to be doing things alot better in regard to Japanese support this time, so hopefully the 360 won't suffer the same lack of Japanese support that the X-box did. So I am hopeful that people can have their choice of both kinds of RPG's on both PS3 and X360. No Idea what Nintendo has in store with the revolution.
