this is just, shocking. I still cannot believe this. This is not supposed to happen!! i was hoping that during Sony's keynote that Square Enix would interupt and show a live demo of FFXIII(exclus. to ps3), but noooooo.
lets hope Konami stays loyal to sony, brings out an exclusive trailer to a new Zone of Enders...
The Square Enix press conference has just began with a Q&A session. Obviously everyone are focusing on the recent Final Fantasy XIII announcent:- The game is being developed using the Crystal Tools, and there will be new footage very soon.
- Kitase refuses to announce how many discs will FFXIII be released in.
- The game will first be released in Japan, and then the localization process will begin. Then, after everything is complete, the game will be developed for the Xbox 360.
- Hashimito says Final Fantasy XIII might not be released at the same time at North American and Europe due to language issues.
- The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will not be different.
- Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still a PlayStation 3 exclusive.
So now, that makes it sound like the PS3 version will have a good head start on the 360 version anyway.
I could see it being a 4-6 disc game 😛

Dear Xbox LIVE Member,When we launched Xbox 360 in November 2005, Xbox LIVE was integrated directly into the console. Back then, Xbox 360 was the first system to deliver access to experiences beyond just the disc in the tray. With the Xbox guide and dashboard you had access to everything on your console as well as your community.
We also imagined that Xbox experience would continuously improve over time, through the power of software.
Since launch, you’ve always pushed us to continuously innovate. It is because you spoke with one loud voice that we added new features like background downloading, 1080p support, movies and TV shows, video chat, a Marketplace blade and instant messaging.
Over time, as we’ve delivered more and more content into the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, we’ve heard from many of you that it has become increasingly difficult to find the games and content you want.
And that brings us to today.
Because of your feedback, we started rethinking the entire Xbox experience. What we discovered was that we could not only provide a better experience for you, but also something that reaches out to new audiences.
What John Schappert unveiled for the world on stage at E3 was just a sneak preview, so I wanted to share some deeper details on some of the new features in the new Xbox experience.
Here is a look at some additional features you will find interesting:
* Play from hard drive. Copy your games from the game disc and play directly from the hard drive. Not only will the drive not spin, but load times are quicker, as well. Of course, you will still need the disc in the tray to prove you own the game.
* Access Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web. Browse and purchase Marketplace content whenever you want from Xbox.com and it downloads automatically to your console. Purchase that new map, television episode, the latest Xbox LIVE Arcade game or set up a movie to watch when you get home from work.
* Dashboard built into the new Xbox Guide. For everyone who loves the blades interface, it’s not going away; they are now built directly in to the new Xbox guide. Every feature and option is available right from the guide. You can even access your full games library at all times. No matter where you are (in dash or in game), immediately call up your games played list and directly launch a game.
* LIVE Party system. Create a party of up to eight friends, and stay with them from one game to another, or watch a Netflix movie together, or share a slideshow of your personal photos. It works with all Xbox 360 titles, not just upcoming games. LIVE Party allows up to eight people to chat in the dashboard, so you can meet up before playing.
* Xbox LIVE Primetime. This whole new category of games is going to give you more reasons to get online with your friends. Games will support everything you’d expect, like Achievements and leader boards, but many of these games will include real prizes. You can invite your friends, and even set a reminder for an upcoming show. Each game is broadcast simultaneously, so everyone is answering the same questions. Many events will have a live host, calling the shots as they happen.
* Avatars. Your online identity started as a Gamertag - it then grew into a personalized Gamercard. Now, it has evolved even further into avatars. You can express your style, check out new outfits and share this with the community. Avatars will also be integrated into Xbox LIVE Arcade games, LIVE Party, as well as retail games.
* New display support. Because you asked for it, we are adding 16X10 over VGA or HDMI, and support for 1440x900 or 1680x1050.
This is only the beginning. Over the next few months, we will share more details on the upcoming changes.
See you online,
Marc Whitten

What really is atrocious here is that Sony was more concerned with keeping HAZE exclusive.
A lot of people are expecting to see how would Sony pull out tomorrow. But to be honest....I want to see what might Nintendo hold.
KH3? 313

Wow, that is awesome news. Im so glad I got the Elite. 😱
Originally posted by WrathfulDwarfNo, I think KHIII is going to be on PS3.... well, I would've thought that until today. Now anything can happen, I guess. I still firmly believe that a KH title on the Wii will be a spinoff of some sort.

I just hope Wii has real games coming, im sad with the state of the Wii myself right now. They have no games outside the big franchises, and the "NINTENDO" virtual console, has become a Neo-Geofest, I bought a Wii to play Nintendo games. 😬

The next 48 hrs will be intense. 😛
Hopefully Sony knew about this... they had to have... and they'll have something to combat this tomorrow. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And competition was never bad for the consumer, either.
