Because Final Fantasy XI was already released on the PC, also, years before the 360 version came out. It was also part of Square's strategy to initially support all three console manufacturer's equally, until choosing a platform to support.

I'm sick of explaining this...

Yes, the White Engine is cross-platform, but, with FFXIII, it's being utilised to take advantage of the Cell. 4 of the SPUs are being used! Tell me, how many SPUs does the 360 have...?

WMA works on the PS3. You have to turn the option on in the Settings tab. I don't know about WMV, though.

I've noticed a few problems. I was watching the Spiderman Trilogy in a different room over the weekend, and I've been swtching from TV to TV, and there're option changes, (My gaming TV has a surround sound system, the other TV is 1080p compatible,) and it's been very slow in accessing the settings. It fixes itself after a while, though.

You do realise that the market was saturated with other quality titles at the same time...

All Level 5 games have cliched stories, that's not their focus. It's how it's told.

We did read that, Violater, and other than that sentence, and references to it later on, the review was glowing. The score speaks for it, of course.

HMV here in Ireland don't even stock HD DVDs...

Did you write that message on your mobile phone, Sam?

And what's this about Ratchet & Clank being a "AAA Wannabe?" By every definition, it's a AAA title. And Warhawk is the greatest console multiplayer game ever made according to critics, and Motorstorm has sold over a million copies.

Fanboyism is one thing, but this is just ignorance.

You don't have to plug them into an external power source like the 360's, though.

"Officially," it's a PS3 exclusive. Whether it'll be like Enchanted Arms and Eternal Sonata and go multiplatform afterwards is yet to be seen.

Speculate away!

Contrary to what others say here, I find that HDMI has is noticibly better than component. My brother has his PS3 hooked up via component, which has a fine picture still. I have mine set up via HDMI, and after seeing the PS3 running through component so long, I could see that the clarity was starker, and the colours more vibrant. Very noticible in videos, and quite so when playing TESIV: Oblivion. It's significant enough that my brother says he's getting a HDMI compatible TV soon.

Yes, Mr. Random Poster sure is "damned informed!" I even bestowed GameFAQs with his divine logic, and is currently being torn apart as you read this:

If it was one of the two games, I might've given it some credence, but both? No. The White Engine needs 4 of the PS3's 6 available SPEs to run FFXIII. How many SPEs does t...

What a lovely opinion piece. That is, of course, ignoring the blatant errors throughout. But yes, a lovely opinion piece.

Of course it's real. It's just Free Radical humour. ;)

It won't be too long before someone makes a Halo mod, exports it to a PS3, and takes a picture, saying "Bungie making Halo game for PS3!1!!"

The 360 has plenty of good games in it's line-up next year, no doubt, but a lot of them aren't exclusives. Too Human and Ninja Gaiden 2 are the main exclusives for next year.

Whereas Sony's major titles are mostly exclusives. And I don't know how many times has to say FFXIII and FFvsXIII are exclusives, siting the PS3's architecture as being the only machine able to bring their visions to life, before people accept it.

There are two reasons that Microsoft haven't announced many titles for 2008: They're holding off for a more advantageous opportunity... or they don't have anything! ;)

The truth is probably between the two, since Bungie, Bioware, and many of the other developers that tend to release games exclusively for the 360 have released games this year. It'll take some time for more to be made.
