The blog clearly states that it never said "Exclusively" to the 360. In fact, here is the entire blog entry:
"Square Enix has confirmed that RPG Star Ocean 4’s official title is Star Ocean The Last Hope.
The company gave the details at the Microsoft’s ongoing Xbox 360 RPG Premiere 2008 event in Tokyo, confirming that the game will release on Xbox 360 in 2009..
No other platforms were detailed, but neither was exclusivity."
I have the same problem as you. My soloution is to buy fewer games and to bank some goodwill hours. For example, MGS 4 is coming this Thurs. so for the last 3 weeks I have been going overboard on the "honey do" list. I have built a deck, done some landscaping, and generally gotten around to alot of the little things I have been putting off. Usually I don't game much in the summer because I live in Michigan so we only have decent weather for about 4 months so I try to save my gaming ...
Ya know, I might have oversold a little, however I would like you to provide a link of any gaming journalist that "wasn't all that impressed" by this title. I might be a PS3 fanboy but at least I keep my comments focused on the PS3.
Your 3 year old daughter might enjoy playing this? So will my 9 year old daughter, and my 14 year old daughter, and my 17 year old son, and my 18 year old son, and my 33 year old wife, and my 43 year old brother, and I will at 41.
I underst...
And I still say LBP will win GOTY. Why?
1. It (somewhat)creates its own genre. Which as everyone here knows, is no small feat.
2. Every impression from journalists who have had hands on time with it are completely floored. Not just "impressed" or "excited"... they are completely awestruck. Game journalists are usually a jaded bunch and are quick to find even the most miniscule of faults.(especially with PS3 titles)
3. Simple controls. Run, jump and grab. ...
I see this as one of those games that will have me smiling for hours whilst playing.
I'm pretty sure it is on the Spike network, not G4. And 11:00 p.m. EDT.(Eastern daylight time for all you luck bastards that don't have to go through a time change twice a year.)
So by using your own logic... The only real reason to have PSN or Live is to play games online and download demos or extra content. PSN is free so paying for Live is just stupid.
I could really care less which service you think is better. I could care less what you spend your money on. Why do you care so much about what I spend my money on. I am PS3 only and I am happy with it. If you are happy with Live, which many people seem to be, how does my preference detract from that?

I couldn't imagine being forced to play games as part of your job. How could I give a decent review if I had to play "X" title at a predetermined amount of time. I have played many games with a 70 rating and have loved every minute of time I played. On the other hand I've played some 9.5-9.9 games and I was saying "WTF" while playing it. I read reviews to get a synapses of a game and maybe read some of the reader reviews. Few titles are "must have" for me. MGS 4 ...
I think that KZ2 needs more dev time and with Resistance 2 coming out, it's a good PR excuse. Feb. is typically slow for game sales but usually none of the big hitters drop in Feb. If KZ hits in Feb. and if(big if) GOW3 hits in March, that's a huge start in '09 for PS3.
Gabe Newell.
OK all kidding aside. For some reason I was thinking of Ninja Theory when I read this.
Come tomorrow I'm dropping the $25 and getting the 13 episodes. WTH it isn't really expensive and should have some pretty good perks. I think the demo thing kinda stinks but Sony needs to have some kind of carrot to dangle in front of your wallet.

Maybe instead of sh!t... you should write poo. Like bull-poo, dog-poo, this poo is cold. It's easy Mmmmkay
"Does this portal make my ass look big?"
4 tens from Famitsu. Does this rate as 40/40 on metacritic? .....
Oh come on, ya knew somebody was going to say it. :P
I belong to a secret underground resistance known as Black Mesa. See... it says it right on my shirt. That just cracked me up. That's like walking around Germany in 1942 wearing a shirt that says "Jew".
Bush never claimed that Iraq had nuclear weapons... His statement was that British Inteligence had discovered Sadam's agents in Africa trying to aquire yellow cake uranium which would most likely be used for low grade nuclear weapons. The Brits still stand by their information.
I'm not trying to instigate a political battle, this is a gaming forum. The relevance is that the media is unreliable and will go out of their way to create controversy, even when none exists. The truth ...
they not only fail at reviews, but they also fail at 3rd grade math.
You got a buttload bubbles there. And with comments like that I can see why...bubbles up!
WTH, it's only $25. Yeah, I know...there's a sucker born every minute.
Edit: Okay, I just watched the video again... that Veronica chick said you would have access to exclusive beta invites and then they showed a little graphic for the SOCOM beta. hmmmmm. Probably just a tease like the host of the show.
But I think the main push for this title will be after it has been out for a while. Once it builds up a "buzz" I think it will sell more consoles than MGS4. I believe it is going to be one hell of a Christmas for Sony.
