Tales of Vesperia is another XBox360 exclusive. Also watched the video review of this one, and read some other reviews, where it got some good critics. It's all in Cel shading and cutscenes are mostly anime. It seems to be one of the better releases of the Tales series, but on the visual side it looks like a PS2 release.

The game got released August 26th on the US market, but will come to Europe in spring 2009!!! And as the XBox360 isn't region free with games, we'll have to wait.

Yes, I know, but somehow play-asia has some strange selling/shipping restrictions. F.ex. I wanted to order
Mercenaries 2. If you search for
Mercenaries 2 you'll find several entries, NTSC/J, NTSC/U and even Region Free. However, the Region Free is the only one that plays on your PAL console. But now it gets weird. They ship every version worldwide besides the Region Free version where following is stated:

You can have a look at it
here. And that's what I don't understand, they would ship you the NTSC/J version, which obviously does not work, but they don't ship the working Region Free version? I don't get it.
I now got
Mercenaries 2 for the PS3.

It seems many cross platform releases are appearing like this. 360 owners are tending to get the first release, but the later PS3 released have a more polished bug fixed release with extra content later. And if there are PC versions they seem to end up with more than either console version.
The 360 definitely seems to still be enjoying quite a nice RPG lineup though, which is probably one of the only reasons I will eventually buy one.
