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

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Seeing the "Jump in" after the FF13 trailer is just surreal.

Sony was caught sleeping...HOW THE FUCK DID THEY LET THAT SLIP?

Oh shit iceburn
Oh Oh oh OH

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.

So when is the new dash supposed to hit?

Your eyes start bleeding in the Fall.

It IS serious. You know how people jokingly make Hitler Miis? On the 360, they ENCOURAGE it.

So you're saying MS supports the Nazis?

I smell a new conspiracy.

So we've seen the new dash, we know it is mandatory, but what about themes and backgrounds and stuff? From what we've seen of the dash, no theme is being used, but will themes be usable? I foresee this being a big issue for those who have plunked down money for themes if they can't even use them in the new dash.

* 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.

Haha, this sounds like an additional method to reduce RROD likelihood.

* 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.

I've always wanted this feature. There have been occasions in the past where Marketplace items were only up for a limited time, and I didn't have my 360 with me.

* 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.

TNL movie club just got awesome.
