I'm a bit late hearing this, but with the announcement that FFXIII is going to be available on XBox 360, the console war is officially over for me. I've held off buying any of the new generation of consoles because there weren't any RPG's that I was super-excited about on any of them (and I still have a sizeable backlog of PS2 RPG's to keep me occupied).
With FFXIII not being exclusive to Playstation anymore, though, the PS3 doesn't really have any leverage over XBox for me anymore. The only thing that might change that would be if they announce a PS3-exclusive Suikoden game sometime before FFXIII comes out. It's my only other must-have franchise at this point, but I'm not holding my breath for an announcement any time soon, unfortunately. :(

In other news: I am absolutely *squiggly* with joy at having won an auction on![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
livelongnmarryfor a fic from chichiri_no_da. It's like pre-Christmas fever... only BETTER, because the blenders and gift certificates and *useful crap* that I usually get for Christmas cannot hold a *candle* to yummy Weiss Kreuz fic. :) We exchanged a few emails about it last night, and it sounds like we're on the same page with the big things, so I can't wait to see how it plays out!!!
Unfortunately, I lost out on the only other bid that I made. It's especially disappointing because, if I'd won, I was going to use that item as a gift for someone else, and I liked the double-whammy of getting a perfect gift while also donating to charity... but no dice. Boo.
