Well I entered, but I'd rather win a copy of Lost Odyssey than any of those prizes.

Critter3... no suprise really. What is a suprise is that Mass Effect was made in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Besides, I already own all of the content for those games (except the ones not released yet).

Yeah I'd rather own a second copy of Lost Odyssey. That game is the best RPG I've played since Chrono Cross.

The Mass Effect console would be sweet though.

Limit of 5 entries people, so don't go overboard buying stuff to enter. Or don't buy and enter for free.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Final Fantasy. Are you fucking nuts? The dream team left Square a long time ago and only their severly outdated templete remains which Square uses to stamp out shitty sequals. The only RPG that is worth a damn Square Enix still has is Dragon Quest and that's because most of the original creaters are still on board. Now some of the new stuff might be good, but yeah not Final Fantasy.

Yeah. Final Fantasy sucks. You don't play it. You WATCH it play itself.

They said "Best RPGs", not "Best anime wankfest JRPGs for tossers who find 'Choose your own adventure' books to be a challenge."

On a lighter note, I find it ironic that they're running this promotion the week E. Gary Gygax died.

No offense ZeroCorpse, but .. you're kind of an idiot. There are different types of RPGs and people have different tastes.

And of course, that's all besides the fact that this promotion of theirs is advertising four games (two of which happen to be the type of JRPGs you're complaining about [Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey] and another which isn't even out yet [Fable 2]).

So really, by your definition ... they really only have the best RPG (singular [Mass Effect]).

And like I said, seeing as people have different tastes in story telling and production value, I'll take Final Fantasy, White Knight Story and Valkyrie of the Battlefield over what Microsoft is offering any day.

Mass Effect was fun and semi-unique for the first five hours or so (much of the play style being taken from older games like Fallout). But once you start going to more of the side missions and begin to realize *every* single base throughout the entire universe was designed by the same architect (seriously, the guy must have made a bajillion space-bucks), with a different layout for the random assortment of boxes ... the game got really old, really quick.

I say, to each his own. You like a certain type of game, other people like a different kind. That's all there really is to it. What Microsoft is doing here is trying to win over the RPG crowd before the games I mentioned previously see the light of day.

Hooray, the 360 has the least shitty assortment of RPGs -- the Wii has none at all, and the PS3 has like 4 of 'em. Be still my beating damn heart.

Surprise... you HAVE to be a "Xbox Live Gold member in good standing" -- Silvers need not apply. I agree with nerrrrd: where's the 'no purchase necessary' part?!?
