The point is the 360 version is localized only, so it literally cannot be made until after the Japanese, PS3 version is complete.

Also highly unlikely Square Enix, a Japanese company, would break a contract with Sony, a Japanese company, because of a little cash offered from Microsoft, an American company.

Square Enix has been supporing Microsoft a lot more than Sony; remember that.

-so just cuz everyone who got a faulty 360, that means they hafto pay for a cooling fan? or resort to using a towel to keep their 360 from dying? wow.

-what does sony offer for free? online multiplayer, psn account, demos/trailers, themes/wallpapers, chat and home when its out. But who am i right? am i the only person that thinks getting something for free is better than paying 60 dollars for?

-4 discs? why not make it 6? no no, i wanna see a 360 game with 10 discs

That is a good thing. The first got praised for how good it looked, now you are saying it looks upgraded, so naturally it will look better. Therefore if they have improved the quality, the Xbox can't be nearing it's graphical peak.

Yeah Im sure all those people will complain about wrapping their 360 in a towel for a few minutes. I havent even had the RRoD on mine. Plus the 3 year warranty, which means anyone who bought the console at launch can still return it for free. Anyway, how often do you hear about RRoD nowadays? Hardly ever, the fault has been fixed in newer consoles (as in, the last year's worth of consoles).

Chill out, Im just asking what Sony offer, since I dont know anything about Sony online except for Home, and....yeah, not worth writing home about. ermm And that 'something for free' thing is a bit dumb, you can go download retro games for free but you'll still pay for MGS4.

Amount of discs is irrelevant, your argument was developers complaining about limited disc space, costing them more in production, when clearly they are disregarding manufacturing costs to release games on multiple discs anyway.

Conduit's graphics look kind of...blah. (just the envirnments the characters and enemies look awesome) Metroid Prime 3 has better graphics then that...but it looks like it could be kind of fun. But then again...

I take you didn't know much about the game when you wrote that 🙄

and when did this happen?

there won't be a 360' FFXIII version until the Japanese PS3 version is released, no matter how much time or delays it takes. there simply won't.

If anything, the 360 version will delayed the american version of the game, since it won't be started on until is released in Japan.
FFXIII Versus still remains a PS3 exclusive, though that can change really fast.

the 360 is pretty much inexistent in Japan, even if console sales go up, the 360 version will take sometime to show up. In Japan, one game can make a difference, and that game helps sell consoles (the same doesn't happen in the States, or if it does, it doesn't happen to the same scale as it does in Japan) missing the launch hype isn't a good thing for the 360

I personally think that the people at 360 camp would not be too thrill to see the game delay (which I believe it will happen given the PS3 record) and would willing put more money on the table to bribe the Square Enix people. Then again that's what's on top of my head.

As for the fairies remarks....those old jedi mind tricks will not work on me my good man.

It doesn't matter how much money is on the table (not that it would ever be enough). As myself and GK says, it is simply impossible for the 360 version to be finished until signidfiantly after the PS3 one. And the PS3 one will be released in Japan ASAP. So all your talk of potential PS3 delay is utterly irrelevant.

I'd be all for a 360 Japanese release simultaenously, but there are simply physical things preventing it happening.

Well i buy my very own 360 today 🙂 . I'm so very excited. 💃 . Then all i'll have left to buy is a ps3 to complete my arsenal. Although i'm pretty hesitant there's nothing out that im dying to play on the ps3 😉 but regaurdless i am excited to get back online.

Whatever happened to Crisis: Day of Disaster? I thought that looked very cool.

Speak of the devil: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39786.html

Picked up a DS Lite today (biscuits), with Elite Beat Agents ($10 at Wal-Mart, supposed to be one of the best DS games, why the hell not), and FFIII.

Anything else I should look at picking up? I've already targeted Pokemon (haermm), Mario Kart, Mario 64, New Super Mario Bros, and FFIV.

Help me KMC, you are my only hope..

Metroid Prime: Hunters, Star Fox Command, Sonic Rush and/or Sonic Rush Adventure, Kirby Squeak Squad and/or Kirby Canvas Curse, and Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword are the games I can think of right now off the top of my hand that you haven't named that are very fun.

A little from column A, a little from column B...sly

Hahahahahaha, Barker writes Harry Potter fan fiction.

I never thought this would happen:

but it did!

This isn't something to pop open a champagne bottle but it really comes as surprise in the video game industry. Eventually the Wii will take it back....

TAKE THAT USHGARAK!!!! FF IS COMING FOR THE 360!

Stop acting like a fool! Shush!

IT's sure is unexpected, but not too surprising when we look at the lineup the Wii has, only Wii games I am looking forward to atm are.................*sound of a lone cricket*

Also got a 360 question here. If I download some game content, like the new Biker content for Burnout Paradise, can I put it on a USB-memory stick and give it to my friend who have internet trouble atm? So he can experience them without having internet connection.

Nothing of great note here, Xbox did it in the US when Halo 3 came out too. Winning a single month means nothing- the whole point is that the Wii is winning month after month even when there is bugger all coming out for it. And Nintendo haven't even touched the price from launch yet! That's a phenomenon.

Conduit looks fun and amazing (and if it's good but history shows probably not) Sonic & the Black Knight. And maybe Red Steel 2 might be good since Ubisoft actually has the Wii unlike with the first one where they only had it for like right before the game was to be released and because of that the game sucked.

And really out of the three I just named there the only one that might actually be good might be the Conduit. The other two I'll hold judgment until the games come out. But for the most part the Wii doesn't seem to have that many good exclusive games coming out anytime soon but the same can be said about the 360 and PS3.

That's all I can think of right now for the Wii's line up. Another Mario, Kirby, Pikmin and Zelda game are said to be in development for the Wii but no word on it yet. Still no mention of a Star Fox game either.

No, because like all other DL content, it only works if you have your XBOX Live Account active, or if your using it on your own system.

So you cant bring it on a USB key, and you can only use your hard drive on his 360 with Live signed into your account.

Gears 2 is coming out in November. 😬

Gears 2 will pretty much > Any game on the other consoles coming out imo.
