For Christmas, my Uncle decided to take pity on the me who no longer plays games by giving me a 360.
The story goes like this: someone asked him to repair a 360. He did so, but by the time it was repaired, the guy told him he was getting a new one for Christmas. So, my Uncle said it was still dead and gave it to me. Result!
It had no HDD inside or extras, so I've had to order all the cables and whatnot. So far, I've ordered a RGB cable (SDTV), VGA cable (monitor), control pad, 8GB memory card (in the good old days, they be 8MB...), audio PC thing and Lost Odyssey + Star Ocean 4.
Now, as I wait to test out my monitor in HD and ****, I've discovered a problem: there isn't very much on the 360 of interest. All I see are shooters. The JRPG genre is seemingly dead, and Valk Chronicles is a PS3 exclusive. This makes me sad.
Eternal Sonata looks and sounds like a JRPG for those annoying, screaming brats I'd like knowing more than to punch in the face.
Last Remnant? Not only does it look generic, JOHNNY 'INOCHANGEMYVOICE' BOSCH VOICES THE LEAD. NO!
Infinite Undiscovery? Its read-up is interesting enough, and its trailer actually caught my eye, but it's supposed to be as average as Remnant.
Resonance of Faye I was going to buy, after getting a Shadow Hearts vibe from its intro. But it lacking a story and being super-hard/not very fun looking seem to make that a no-no, too.
And don't even ask about FFXIII. If there's a JRPG I'd need paying to play, FFXIII is it. Everything I've ever seen or read about it tell me I'd hate it, with passion.
The only 360 JRPG, out of the TINY selection that I want to play is LO. I'm only even ordering SO4 because of how utterly retarded this scene is:

Tales of Vesperia is meant to be the bestest JRPG on the 360. So, naturally, it's impossible to get and - even though I lent him a rare game - a certain someone is refusing to lend me his copy.
Outside of RPGs, the ONLY game to catch my eye so far is Red Dead: Redemption...
...so, yeah: what should I buy, and how should one insert a HDD into a 360, and stuff?
