Hehe. I hate to change topic, but I really dig Persona 3.
Inugami and King Frost are probably my favourite personas with...I think Kikure-Hime(?) and Cu Cullainn being used most frequently. I can sit and watch Inugami just swim through the air forever in a hypnotic state.
I think a big turn-off for a lot of people is the structure; the story ticks along at a snail's pace with the passing of the days and the days themselves strictly regimented into little sections you, at times, mull through on auto-pilot. It can get a little repressive, but I think overall, it -is- a great way to get you to expirience the full expirience of the game and not just the minute aspects you want to blow through and soon get sick of turning you off to a game as a whole.
I'd like to see FES in english though. Hopefully some trauma Center money can help facilitate more of Atlus' classic niche interests.

A megaten game for the Xbox 360? I somehow doubt that, what with the failure of NINE and all.
I really don't get why the PS3 is "pretty awful".
And lol at MGS4 coming for the 360. I don't even know why that rumor continues to proliferate- oh wait, I slightly do.
@ masamonkey: I've always liked Kikuri Hime too, although I was slightly pissed off that her bigger sisters weren't in P3, (Ame no Uzume and Kushinada-hime)

Now that you mention it, Yum, I didn't notice that Uzume and Kushinada-hime aren't in there. Probably because I didn't care much for Empress or Priestess personas, but still dissapointing 
My favourite demon/persona is Alice. I missed her in Persona 2, and I'm glad that they make it easier for you to obtain her in P3, although she's not as powerful as in the other game of the series. (She can't even use Megidolaon! :'( ) Too bad you can't use her in Nocturne.
Gahhh I want another PS2. I bought P3 Fes, and haven't gotten to play it for 2 weeks. All I have at my dorm is NDS, and I really really hope that Atlus will release any game from this series on this platform I mean, SMT 1 and SMT 2 on GBA? Why not SMT:IF on NDS!!! T_T

Sigh, I miss Nocturne, when regular enemies would ambush you and hit you with Mamudoon + Mudo boost, or Mahamaon with hama boost.
I'd prefer Trumpeter's evil horn + salvation horn combo to Alice's die for me any day when it comes to fighting regular enemies.
Lucifer + Satan doesn't count though <- Now THAT is broken.
See how many times this guy dies: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YfV2uTUodzQ
On a side note, here's the cool boss fight vs. Dante - narrator's kinda annoying though: http://youtube.com/watch?v=edej773pNBw

Just to touch back on the MGS4 for 360 rumor:
It's one of those rumors that's probably going to come to fruition. Initially, MGS2 was a PS2 exclusive...but then XBox owners got the Substance copy before PS2.
Devil May Cry was a Playstation exclusive, but now DMC4 is coming out for the 360.
And as for the 360 being as shunned as the XBox, it's true. But that dosen't mean that cross-platforming would be impossible, just unlikely. Personally, I am no longer a huge fan of the Playstation, mostly because the hardware -feels- cheap. Ever play it? I got a chance to play the God of War rip off, Heavenly Sword, and honestly...it wasn't impressive. Even the graphics looked a little like first gen 360.
Plus, they are removing the hardware backwards compatibility and replacing it with software (Already happened in the PAL markets, and is starting to happen in the US markets with the 80gb version). Same thing the 360 did from the start, only they aren't working (if you could really call what MS is doing for it working :P) towards a compatibility list like the 360 has.
But you're more than right (probably) about Atlus not developing games for the 360, which is quite unfortunate. I'm not looking forward to having to choose to buy a PS3 just for Atlus games, or missing out on them simply because I really, really don't like the PS3 as it is now. Hopefully the new controllers Sony rolls out (with Dual shock) will fix the cheap feel of the current ones.
What it comes down to, is there is no way in hell I'm spending 600 dollars (549.99 CAD right now for the 60gb version with hardware compat. still inside) for a system I see nothing good for (and give MGS4 time, it'll be on the 360 soon enough) and whose controllers feel like they're going to break if I press down too hard on L2 and R2 (Go find a demo booth somewhere and you'll see what I mean). Sony really dropped the ball on this one.
Back to the topic at hand, however

I spent around 900 dollars for my PS3 (I didn't buy it in America).
I'm very satisfied with it. Nothing's like playing Rainbow Six Vegas for the PS3. The firefights are visceral, the graphics are more stunning and everything's so fluent and stylish. I'm very happy.
And I'm certain MGS4 won't reach the 360. Kojima said it wasn't possible - The 360 can't handle it, among other reasons. But honestly, I'm tired of 360 fans hoping for that rumor to come true - it's just so hard to convince them.
As for me, I get to play Vegas as well as Tekken 6 and MGS4 next year. I'm happy with my games. I'm happy with my PS3.
EDIT: Oh and as for DMC, sorry I'm not a fan of the games, I can't comment on that. Plus I forgot to note, there never really was a port for MGS3 was there? Hum.

Gah... Spent an hour trying to fuse a Cybele with Thunder Reign, Elec Amp, and Morning Star. You can get 2 of them, but never all three...
Pain in the ass really. But it must be done, for SCIENCE! Okay, not really... Mabey because Cybele is badass... there we go. Seriously, what's more awsome then an orgy goddess that makes her son cut off his own balls? Nothing, that's what.

I always thought the "queen bitch" demon'd be Mother Harlot.
But then again they make her so weak in P3, she doesn't intimidate as much anymore.
Back then, she'd absorb elec, null all status effects and reflect all physical attacks...
Oh and she also had a cool physical attack animation that looked like she was totally murdering the enemy.
Plus, she's supposed to be the USA or something according to some interpretations... More points for her!
Oh but then again, they're kinda one and the same right? Cybele and Mother Harlot?

Haha. That's why you have to max social link out for that 'intimate encounter' before you drop them like a sack of potatos for the next girl.
Maybe I'm crazy, but it makes me a little sad you can just totally disregard a social link after you form that 'unbreakable bond.' I just feel so sleezy hanging out with Mitsuru after courting Chiyoko.
I suppose I'm just the type of person who'd rather make lasting gameworld changes in my game descisions than have that one 'do everything' playthrough, but then again, I grew up with a lot more structure in my rpgs.
I imagine it would be difficult managing social links if that were to happen. Personally while I found it awkward as well, I really didn't mind it as much as I was too in love with the game to gripe over one minor problem.
I just finished it today... Nyx was surprisingly easy, but that's probably because I went on a mad grind to try and get Messiah earlier on.
I'd have to say my favorite Persona was Metatron. He wasn't particularly powerful, but he had a lot of Repel Element skills on him, and Magarudyne and Megidola, so I used him more than my Thanatos (w/ Tempest Slash, Survive Light, Megido and Die for Me!) up until I made Messiah (Megidolaon, Salvation, Repel Dark, Die for Me!), and Satan (Maragidyne, Die for Me!, Megidola, Black Viper, Repel Light).
I maxed Lovers, Chariot, Tower, Sun, Hierophant, Death, Fool, Judgement, Magician, Hanged, and Hermit. Temperance and Justice were reversed because of my negligence and Empress was also reversed because I went out with Priestess (Both were level 7). I'll do the second cycle later to get everything maxed. Now onto Soul Nomad and Wild Arms 5 for me.
