Installing a game is a plus since that in most cases lead to shorter loading times while in the game. There is a reason PC games have had install for ages, even though the extracted copies can fit on DVD/CD or their medium in many cases.
Since you asked for a single example. Dragon Age Origins. (PC is the best version graphics wise.) I have now read up a bit on the issue and it does seem you are mostly correct though, porting a game to the 360 is easier than porting to the ps3, so in many cases it will look better. While exclusives for one or the other console ends up with the ps3 ones looking better.

Last "VS" post:
The problem with forced install on consoles is that it's not expected, since few games have it. In my case me and some friends were going to play some local multiplayer, but had to wait an hour for the game to install.
On the porting part, graphics aren't important to me, on the few comparisons I have seen between cross platform I liked the 360 shadows better, but still not an improtant part. The important part is load times, online service and how well the game generally runs, all of which I feel that the 360 does better.

Good, credit card info theft usually is a good reason for homeland security to get involved. However what if it turns out that the hackers are not US citizens? I believe this matter should be investigated at least with full cooperation of Interpol.

It's surprising that Sony hasn't already begun international investigation, especially since Anonymous was/is suspected. Anon usually taken credit for their hacks, tho.
fohfoh:
I read somewhere that one of the bigger issues is the fact that Sony actually admitted to being hacked. Many other companies don't admit stuff like this or just try and sweep it under the rug.

Download a PS1 emulator (ePSXe should work [pSX works for Parasite Eve 1, not 2]), install it, download a bios (search for PSX bios on isohunt), get the bios linked up with the emulator, download the game (easy to find on isohunt), extract it. Play the game. Might require some plugin tinkering.

... heh, I like you ( here and in the other thread ). I should do something like that, really, but I think besides my obvious desire to, you know, have loads of fansubs, I like buying them off of the PSN and DLing them to the PSP. I do miss playing around with emulators, but ... I'm very pleased with the PSN networks offers and the like. Never mind, I still have my original copies of most of the games I want to play and ... play them on the PS3 anyway, XD.
X3 I really do love the PSN, especially Playstation +. I wish XBL would take a few queues from them in that regard.

Let's just pretend you didn't say that and you can pretend that I am not saying: "JRPG is a linear adventure game with rpg stat building elements and thus the real RPGs are released exclusively on computers".
As I said, lets pretend none of that was said so we don't sidetrack this topic.

What RPGs have been PC exclusive? Even Torchlight is on XBL arcade.

World of Warcraft is pretty much the only current one left.
