I play varsity rugby as well as other sports socially; and with the likes of God of War 3, Final Fantasy 13, Heavy Rain, Dante's Inferno and Gran Turismo 5 releasing soon, it would be foolish to be stuck with 2 games that represent a potential investment of 100 hours or more each.
They are both excellent RPGs though and at some point, you WILL want to play them both.

Dragon Age is a refinement of Bioware's classic RPGs. Good looking 3D engine, deep party interactions, involving tactical party combat (lots of pausing) and MANY choices (no moral system though) with butterfly effect consequences and of course excellent storytelling and dialogue. It doesn't revolutionize the RPG genre, like I said, its more a refinement, its still going to pull you in and eat up your free time and you'll gladly let it.

Demon's Souls on the other hand is a unique and original game. Dark original story and setting, combat oriented, very VERY challenging and rewarding blockNslash combat (not for the faint of heart), great graphics, very cool integration with PSN letting you see other people's actions through "ghosts" and the game invasion mechanic. This game has you sitting on the edge of your seat with tension, but does take a bit of investment before it starts pulling you in.

My personal pref is Dragon Age, but like I said, if you like RPGs at all, you really want/need play both
