  Thats not true QQQQ
  
  360 arcade is the best thing to happen to any console.

  Cat has clearly not seen the vast number of titles avaliable on Live Arcade.
  
  I would download well over 50 of them in a heart beat if I owned a 360. Games well worth playing.
  
  And as far as I'm concerned, Shadow Complex is a terrible side scroller choice on the arcade, and Super Meat Boy is superior to N+ in every way.

  Super Meat Boy is available (and better) on the PC
  
  looking through the actual arcade website
  missed 'Splosion Man, geometry wars, bionic commando
  okay.

  But we're comparing to PS3, not PC.
  And no, the 360 version is better. The developer favors the xbox. There is even a disclaimer with an image of a 360 controller when you boot up the game on the PC pretty much telling you to screw off.
  
  I've played both versions, and the its just better on the 360.
  
  And if we're naming games that are NOT on the ps3...
  
  Mr Driller Online
  Triggerheart Exelica
  Rainbow Islands
  Chime
  Splosion Man
  Castlevania HD
  Rez HD
  Limbo
  Plants Vs Zombies
  
  Ports such as:
  
  Ecco the Dolphin
  Sonic 1~4 + Sonic and Knuckles + Sonic Adventure
  Rocket Knight
  Gunstar Heroes
  Metal Slug Collection
  Bubble Bubble Neo!
  Castlevania SOTN
  Golden Axe
  Megaman 9 + 10
  Contra
  Galaga
  Joust
  Gauntlet
  
  And games you'd be looking for on the psn like Virtual ON OT, Exit 2, Monkey Island 2, Space Invaders Extreme, Scott Pilgrim, KoF98, Greed Corp, Ikaruga, Hydro Thunder Hurricane, Crazy Taxi, Pac Man Championship, Geometry Wars Evolved, all on the 360 live.
  
  Developers prefer live over psn. For these games and many others there are many DLC that never make it to the PSN.
  PSN is also more likely to have to wait months if not a whole year for a port. Behemoth is a very good example, with Alien Hominid + Castle Crashers. Cave is also one very fantastic developer that shuns the ps3 as much as possible.
  
  Also, PSN doesn't have an indie channel. And the 360 indie channel has some awesome games for like 1 dollar.
  
  Hidden awesome games like Death Smiles, typically /jp/ oriented games, are almost always exclusive to the 360.
  
  The 360 is only region locked on a few games, which means you can import Japanese games that will never make it to the United States. The PS2 was a great example of what could've been the most amazing console in the world if you could import JP games without having to buy a separate PS2 or hacking your original one.
  
  The PS3's lack of games is a bad stereotype, but just up until early 2010, it was really justifying those stereotypes. They made a few good exclusives and ported a bunch of other games last year, and its predicted to be a good year for ps3 this year, but the 360 library is just too large for ps3 to even compare to.

  Castlevania HD was a shame
  multiplayer and xbox live.
  not to mention DLC packages
  the way devs sell DLC gives an excuse not to make complete games.
  
  Valkyria Chronicles innovated the Strategy RPG genre
  doing a different approach with much more pace but kept a strong strategic aspect when it comes to positioning to fulfill mission objectives
  You get to understand how to use each character such as how the environment affects them or how they should approach a situation etc.
  And no these are not classes, these are their preferences and each character is different.
  It becomes simple as you continue to use them; there's no need to remember stuff like class requirements.
  Stopping there.
  it made an equal or greater impact on the genre as Final Fantasy Tactics did
  after seeing this game, the cat cannot tolerate playing Advanced Wars or Fire Emblem
  
  By itself, it's a game worth playing for all time.
  By more exclusives, the cat meant ones worth experiencing.
  The cat doesn't care about XBLA or PS Store.
  
  Oh and the cat dislike bullet hells
  and those ports, the cat will only play once and forget about it.

  Thats the fun behind it. Its co op.

  True, but its not like the PS3 is immune from this rule. Most of the times 360 gets DLC faster though.

  QFT.
  
  And FFCC: EoT had an actual chatting system when you did multiplayer. You still had to tap out each single letter though, so it was a lot better to just use the set phrases in-game. Not to mention it lagged which made it unplayable as heck since you can't summon real party-members to your location for all the jump-quest like areas where only the host could get through since he had no lag at all.

  Valkyria Chronicles? Strategic? All you really need to do was level up Lancer until you get damage boost, level up mainly Scouts and you can finish the majority of missions in two turns or less. It also helps to have Alicia's last two potentials and the caution command. Not strategic at all except for a certain tank boss with a protected radiator which may require thinking.
  
  Still do not why we have region locks in this day and age.
