I remember there was one more thing I wanted to recommend to you. If you do pick up Dragon’s Dogma, and if you pick it up on the 360, I suggest installing the game on your hard drive before you play.
I’ve heard people talk of some annoying loading issues with the game (quest NPCs taking a few seconds to pop into view, etc), and it was recommended to me that I install the game to get the best performance. I’ve seen very, very little of the problems I heard talked about, so I have to guess it helps.
