Final Fantasy XIII is fantastic, and I highly recommend it if you enjoyed the previous games or JRPGs in general. It's kind of love or hate around here so you really won't know until you've tried it, but I loved it. Lots of people around here will tell you it's OMG THE WORST GAME EVER but that's simply not true and anyone who says that has never played a game that's actually bad.

I own both consoles but I regret buying a 360 as I never play it.

And neither of mine have failed. Infact, not a single console I've owned has ever failed, and I've been buying them since SNES. I can't imagine what people do to their consoles to make them cease functioning. Aside of the 360 which seems built specifically to die on it's own.
