I know how you feel... I've only played Folklore on PS3 and whilst good it had nothing on Lost Odyssey.
Elite carries a different motherboard so there are little to no issues.
If you're looking for a Pro Console, make sure to wait for the 60G, they have the brand new motherboards as well.
Either way make sure to pick up Lost Odyssey. That's the best JRPG I've played on modern consoles. And if you're willing go grab Mass Effect, for an entirely different ...

Square's announcement may well convince other third party developers to follow suit. And if the 360 version sells well in America and Europe... other formerly Square exclusives will likely follow.
As you said from a "fanboy" point of view it may be bad news. But if this means Square can make more money and in turn make more games for more gamers, then as gamers we are all better off! :)
That's all correct tintin except for the last part. The Square chairman specifically said both versions would ship day and date together in Europe and America. :)
EDIT: Thanks for the update tintin. Bubbles :)
Agreed Rocky!
That's what most said about FFXIII and yet look what happenened...
MGS4 is in a similar predicament as a third party exclusive and a Japanese company wanting more sales of their software than current (Bout 2.5-3m MGS4 have sold). Can't blame them wanting to more than double the audience (15m + 20m = 35m) to sell their games to. It's BUSINESS and the better health these companies are in, the better and more games we'll all get in the long run. GAMERS wil...
Sony gamers enjoy the introduction to a great new franchise! :)
Yeah I don't get this! 3 days before Gears 2 is just stupid. Put it two the three weeks earlier and you might have it sold.
Looks great regardless of release date though. :)
Yeah I like the intimacy of Gears. It's so up close and personal. So 2 player Co-op is fine by me... If it means the story is more cohesive, even better. :)
Don't believe me, well watch the tape! :)

"So if you're an Xbox Live subscriber you can enjoy the Netflix library at NO additional cost"
Get the facts right!
- First off GTAIV DLC hasn't been released yet so talking about its sales effect is presumptive. Wait for the DLC and then see if it drives sales, particularly from all those mainstream gamers yet to upgrade to next gen consoles.
- FFXIII will be released simultaneously on PS3 and 360 for North America and Europe. It will remain a PS3 exclusive however for the Japanese version which will be released first.
- Additionally point your f...
Sony own 8.6% of Square, and as such have no influence on day to day business decisions such as this. They only have corporate voting power for mergers, CEO pay, etc...

If Sony knew they wouldn't have pushed FFXIII leading up to E3 and would've tried to have neutered the MS megaton by announcing the series had gone multipltaform themselves prior t...
I like it, takes the best of Miis, iTunes & Home and fills it with a range of bonus features! :)
"NetFlix integration?! You have to be dumb paying for downloaded movies."
You have to be dumb to not realise it's a free addition for all Live Gold members?!
Get your facts right!
Square confirmed in their conference that neither version will be a "port" as FFXIII has been developed on PC using Crystal Tools. The game will then be transferred independently to both consoles. Which is great news for gamers on both platforms because it will ensure that both versions maximise their respective platform's potential.
The PS3 version will be completed first (In Japanese) and released exclusively on PS3 in Japan. Develop...
"wtf is wrong with this retard?"
He writes for gameplayer and all articles must provoke the fanboys. ;/
What he forgets is not only the 120G HDD, but that limiting hard drive space is a very deliberate strategy to keep people refreshing their content and hence buying more DLC.
Kind of like bars without enough seating, if you don't have a place to sit and get comfortable and you've finished your drink, guess what you do?!
I love the fact I can play BK on XBLA and Rare's adding in the Stop and Swap feature from Tooie so that when I play Nuts & Bolts I get special items. Awesome stuff! :)
Both versions will release on the same day in US and Europe. Japan will remain a PS3 exclusive for the time being.

So is the PS3 dead? No.But it's hurting. And as long as it holds exclusivity with FFXIII in Japan it won't be dying anytime soon
Yep it's really starting to creep up that potential GoTY list.
I don't think it was MS, as much as it was Square looking at 20 million consoles they could sell to, to boost their sales in America and Europe.
Sure it largely sucked for hardcore gamers, but that wasn't what MS wanted to use the air time for. I thought it was a massive success for what MS intended to use it for - Pushing Live and Casual Gaming.
The Exclusive Netflix agreement is potentially massive, with Gold Live members getting the service for free and Netflix users getting a Gold Live account for free and easy to use streaming to their telly if they want to buy a 360.
The big titles will come. Halo Wars...
"All's fair in love and war."
The PS3 significantly delayed GTAIV, and I think it's highly likely that the 360 will delay FFXIII.
Either way doesn't bother me if the game fulfils its potential and as a bonus gives me more time to play all the astonishingly AAA titles on both systems.
A great time to be a gamer! :)
