I've seen the compatibility list and wiki info, but am still wondering how well the Xbox game emulation works and if it's worth it to get a hard drive just for that?

The December 2005 update includes the Monk Zeng content from the limited edition of Jade Empire.

Game quality seemed good. I haven't played it that much, but I didn't find any major issues.

Well - for me - I needed a hard drive to load the Final Fantasy MMORPG FFXI, so that was an automatic upgrade.

Sacrilege! You should only play it on proper Playstation-foo hardware. You DO have phat PS2's sitting around don't you?

I already have Oblivion GOTY on the PS3 but I'm not the only one in the house who plays it so now we don't have to fight over it. I prefer the size/weight 360's controller as well -- and especially the keypad addon. Not having lighted keys on the PS3's chatpad was a huge mistake -- I hardly ever use it because of that.
