Wouldn't make sense to port it for 250k or less 360's over there.

Wouldn't make sense to port it for 250k or less 360's over there.
They let that slip by the PS3's game to unit moving ratio getting really shitty, especially compared to the 360's (which has been doing well at moving units). 360 might not be as powerful, but people seem to buy a little more for it. And with the cost of a Final Fantasy being so high and how financially fragile Square has been since The Spirits Within this just seems to be a good business move for them. Not putting all of the pressure on one console to lift their hit franchise up. I wasn't going to buy the new Final Fantasy. But if it's on 360 I'll give it a fair reading before committing to a purchase or not.Quote:

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.
When's the Sony conference?
Who cares!
I want to see the executives sobbing on stage over the loss of FFXIII.
It's tomorrow.
Tomorrow at 11:30.Quote:

I'm pretty sure less heat is generated when the system isn't processing a disc. My fans are pretty quiet when I'm not playing a disc game, but they kick into high gear when I am.Quote:

How old is your system? I've noticed with the newer ones that the drives are much quieter and I only hear the fan after a bit of playing.Quote:

The DRM it uses is Microsoft stuff as it is, and I have no clue how it works in regard to regions. If you have an account tied to an address in the US, why wouldn't it work?
Because MS is a bunch of assholes and on all video stuff it does an IP check and if your IP is outside of the US it will tell you you can't download it, even if you're using a US account.
Netflix streaming is the shit. The quality is good enough, imo. I've watched so much stuff because of this I have no real reason to ever watch cable.
They need more content, though. No Revenge of the Nerds (even on fucking DVD!) is just bullshit.
by and far the best E3 news today is that Apogee resurfaced from 3D Realms
GIVE ME COMMANDER KEEN AND ROTT SEQUELS IN HIGH DEFINITIONS
Commander Keen and ROTT XBLA plz.
I think it's more along the lines that nothing sells on the machine and the initial investment is just too much to risk. Look at MGS4, for how much and how long it took, it didn't really do that well. Waiting for the 360 port, MGS4 Substandard....Quote:

If they announced controllers with corrected d-pads and systems with Blu-ray built in, I would place my PS3 on eBay tomorrow. After MGS4 I don't really know what else it's good for, since the PS2 upscaling I wanted so badly sucks massive amounts of dick.Quote:

VsXIII remains exclusive so says the live blog, so i bet theyll tout the "only place to get both FFXIIIs" similar to how microsoft did "the only place to get GTA, Madden, HAlo3" last year.
I think it has that title locked down already.Quote:

You really think that 129 dollars you dropped on a PS2 barely covered their material costs and labor? C'mon man.
If you missed the full conference, I found a non-crappy verison at IGN.
http://livewire.ign.com/2008/e3/index.html
That Livewire, by the way, was awesome for the live feed of the event today. It was like a minute behind, but was crystal clear, and never once had any buffering issues.
So, is nintendo going to announce the Wii Bicycle tomorrow? Or Wii Shuffleboard?
EDIT: Prediction: Animal Crossing Wii will be a port of the N64/Gamecube version, minus NES games and GBA connectivity. All of the things you got from the Animal Crossing trading cards will be paid DLC, and friend codes.
Yes. I should start kicking fools from TNL IRC who don't use the IGN stream and insist on the crappy G4 stream. It was annoying to not know what people were spazzing about.

Another console exclusive drops under the weight of it's budget. It's more sad than anything, at least there's decent DL fodder across all three. Galaga CE looks excellent. *-neo
If there's any games I wish would break exclusivity, it's Pac-man CE and Galage CE.Quote:

Sick to get new movies on DVD and catalog shit whenever (they have a lot too).
Also awesome is MS coming out of left field with the best and essential parts of Home without the horseshit. Unless Sony says Home is coming out in the fall, they've just been bitch slapped something fierce.
I don't mind how the new dash looks, don't know how themes will be integrated and I think it'll take some hands on time to see if it really works better. If it does, I'm all for it. The guide being like the blade is cool to, since I like the blade dashboard.
Fallout 3 was disappointing, GOW2 looks fucking AWESOME (Horde mode sounds great), Fable 2 looks a lot better than the last time I saw it. Stupid demo though, way too short and didn't show anything new. The co-op "glowing orb to join" thing was pretty wild though. The new Portal expansion is a really big get. And RE5 is looking great. Reminds me of RE0 though.
At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if a blu-ray drive wasn't coming.
And FF13 is shocking, didn't think Sony would let that happen. Sony has to have something tomorrow to counter it.
Wasn't that ten years ago? They can't still be hurting from that after what a dozen final fantasy games?Quote:
fragile Square has been since The Spirits Within
And as far as PS3 vs. 360, I own 3 PS3 games and roughly 20 360 games. If the 360 upconverted DVDs the PS3 would never get turned on.
But it does... maybe only through VGA and HDMI?
33 Xbox 360 vs 4 PS3.
Enough said.
FINAL FANTASY VII: PLEASE LET US DIE IS PS3 EXCLUSIVE.
http://www.huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurf.com/news/80108/845.html
Square used to not have Enix right after it and used to make worthwhile games besides the games that have "Final Fantasy" somewhere in the title or "Tetsuya Nomura's dirty pedophile hands" somewhere in the credits.Quote:

If a game is on both does anyone buy the ps3 version?
If I had both systems, I'd grab FFXIII on PS3.
What am I gonna do with it on the 360? Use online matchmaking and care about achievements?
wrong, you get excercise by swapping the disk
Don't you think this would have been announced already if it were coming? If it is down the pipeline, I don't see it coming for a while, or maybe even just saving it for their next console.Quote:

Could be a year out, whatever. No need to announce it just yet. Could be in their best interest to hold off till the next console too.Quote:

So when's MGS4 360 coming out?
The Xbox is all about taking care of your daily exercise needs. <3Quote:

Alright guys, im off to the sony conference, ill let you guys know how awkward it ends up being.
Pls come back and viral market us to death.
I'm picturing it like that episode of South Park where all the pedophiles file into a studio, see Chris Hansen, and then shoot themselves in the head, leaving a mounting pile of bodies in the aisles.Quote:

Hay, guys, isn't the Intendo conference soon?
13 Xbox 360 vs 6 PS3 (not counting the 360 BK games and counting the 360 games I'm hoping to get rid of soon).Quote:

God damn it just release a fucking headset.
Eh, as long as it's sensitive enough that I don't have to shout at it, I don't see what difference it makes.
Ooooooooh, sales figures. Taking notes John? ;p
I don't usually have a party going on when I use my Wii, I guess Wii Speak will do ok, if not odd as fuck.
I want Animal Crossing, to be sure, but I'm not buying a microphone for it.
lol three games
He's forgetting 98% of the Wii library is shit. *-neo
Wii speak will make you sound like the denizens of town to anybody not on your friends list, imo.
wow. That's uh...exciting. Clone Wars, Rabid Rabbits, and World at War. Great.
lol Wasn't he making fun of Guitar Hero? now we have Guitar Hero Decades on teh DS?!
How much crack do I have to huff to make any of this not completely garbage
Good lord, another DS Guitar Hero this year?! Is the first one even selling?
