What exactly is so new and shiny about the PS3 exclusive isn't quite clear, with Namco Bandai simply saying the games have "crisp and colourful high definition graphics and additional content."
Namco Bandai Games Europe senior VP Olivier Comte said in the announcement, "The Tales of series, which is already very successful in Japan, has been expanding greatly in the Western market, and we believe J-RPG fans will continue being pleased with this updated HD edition of two of the most classic Tales of games."
This expansion includes the August 6 launch on PS3 of Tales of Xillia, a few newer game in the series--but still not the newest.

Sure, symphonia was an amazing RPG, great storyline (especially once you got to the 2nd disk) -- but that "sequel", dawn of the new world, was total garbage, atrocious in every way. Might still be worth getting just to play the first game (or replay).
Tales of Graces f though is one of the best in the Tales series and is already out for PS3.. might be better off just playing that if you haven't gotten a chance yet to play one of the Tales.
