My relationship with the Xbox 360 came to an end today. After playing Warriors Orochi 2 only to have the game crash twice this morning, I pulled the disc out and found that the console had done a nice little number on it.
This was the last straw.
And to be honest, dropping the 360 is not going to make a major dent on my gaming habits. For starters, I refused to spend an extra $90 on the wireless adapter, so I never connected it to Xbox Live. And I really only used my 360 as a Koei hack-and-slash machine, with the majority of my game collection consisting of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, Dynasty Warriors 6, Warriors Orochi 2, and Bladestorm. Aside from those, the only games I had for it were Ninety-Nine Nights, which I actually bought the console to play (Yes, I'm serious.) and Eternal Sonata, which is one of my all-time favorite RPGs. With the exception of N3 and Warriors Orochi 2, all of the above games can be found on the PS3 as well, and the PS3 also has Warriors Orochi Z, which I'm hoping will reach North America eventually.
I've already started back-filling by ordering the PS3 version of Dynasty Warriors 6 off of Amazon, and I picked up Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 when I traded the 360 in. Once I find PS3 copies of Bladestorm and Eternal Sonata, I'll pretty much be back to where I was in my gaming, except better off. There's honestly no reason that I needed both a PS3 and a 360, and as much of a liability as its been, the 360 had to go.
