You clearly already have a PS3.
And, if I recall correctly, you've already bought 2 rumble-controllers for $60 each.
So, why are you excited? Simply for MGS?
I'd take a copy of Halo 3 (or Gears / BioShock / Mass Effect) and a 120GB Elite for ~$500.
In this bundle, you dont get a game option.
Buy a 120GB Elite and choose your game for $500.
$55 for the rumble controller?
Ouch.
I see a lot of angry rumble-less owners.
...says the guy with the anti-EA icon. I'm sure you're being completely objective and rational.
"know nothing of their shady tactics?"
What Shady Tactics are you talking about?
Buying T2 isnt Shady, its stanard industry practice.
rockstar:EA::Square Enix:mistwalker
Its interesting you'd say that. Im sure you'd be the first to tell us that Final Fantasy fans shouldnt worry about FFXIII even though Sakaguchi-san has taken his team and founded Mistwalker.
EA making GTA without Rockstar is the same as Square Enix making Final Fantasy without Sakaguchi-san and his team.
Hillarious.
Im not saying I agree with him or not, but the man is paid to provide his opinion.
The two of you are not.
He's more informed, better connected and less irrational when he provides his opinions.
So... yeah.

"a cancer"? Really? There are big players, and there are smaller players.
The Big Studios are responisble for some great titles, and there are small studios that deliver turds too.
Hey, EA haters: Activision is bigger, you can start hating them instead now if you want.
Hm, funny, the only people still repeating that are sony marketing and its disciples.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is Sony's modus operandi: overpromise and underdeliver. Has been since day one.
I guess my bullshiat meter is better tuned, or Im a more critical thinker, but its been clear for quite some time that the PS3 has been demonstrated to be less powerful than the Xbox 360 many times.

"curse is that the 360 is too easy to develop for, so now Sony's console is going to take lead development."
No, no its not.
The Xbox 360 sells more games.
The Xbox 360 has more than 18 million consoles in the world, the PS3 has less than 10M.
If a developer wants to make money, he's going to concentrate on the best opportunities, and that is Xbox 360.
The Xbox 360's strenghts are its strenghts, n...
That is one interesting work of fiction you have there.
Firstly, this is a port not an emulated game (my god, how ridiculous bwahaha). The PS3 isnt capable of emulating a PS2 let alone an Xbox 360.
Even on 1st party titles, there hasnt been any demonstration that the CELL has any worthwhile benefit unless it is used to compensate for the memory or GPU shortcomings.
This compensation isnt a question of "lazyness" but of economics. And, i...

What is your point? Toughname is right, we see (again for the seemingly 100th time) that when all things are equal (ie, the same game in two places) the Xbox 360 version comes out on top.
This is confirmed by not just subjective opinions on graphics, but average review scores.
The trend is clear and damning. Stop dismissing the situation simply because it suits your world-view. This is the gamer-zone, at least try and pretend to...
Funny, that video makes me more interested in the game now than before.
Oh, what do the metacritic reviewers say?
Xbox 360 Lost Planet: 79 / 100
PS3 Lost Planet: 76 / 100
Pre-order already filed.
Looks awesome.
Who says MS is paying *ANYTHING*?
Big releases cost money, porting to PS3 costs money, marketing == $$$.
Xbox 360 has over 18 million consoles in the world... releasing it there first, then switching to do the PS3 port gives PS3 time to build up a viable base.
This is just sound decision making.
You're hatred for anything MS doesnt exist in the industry -- you're making false assumptions based on your own irrational, emotional bias. ...
@11.1
Many JRPG fans are seeing that the Xbox 360 is the home of JRPG this generation. The leading console in every genre in fact.
My brother in law, who is a JRPG fan, was leaning toward the PS3 (we both had PS2 last gen). When I showed him Sakaguchi-san's (creator of Final Fantasy) Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Eternal Sonata he was sold.
Final Fantasy isnt the only JRPG in the world. Many people are more than ...
So, what is your point?
Xbox 360 owners are playing these games *NOW*, or are confirmed to be shortly.
PS3 owners *MAY* get them, sometime in the future... or maybe not.
The fact that I can play these games now certainly isnt affected by someone else playing them in the future...maybe.
Your post reeks of desperation and sadness. If you want to play these games, you'll have to buy a Xbox 360.
HEhehh. "The character design in this game is horrible"?
*RIGHT* The design is good. Its more variety, compare it to Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata and now this.
Thats VARIETY son. Dont like this design? Try one of the others.
Further, *did* you read the article?
"Yes, we have decided to release TOV overseas on the Xbox 360."
Asked if the game will be released only on the 360, "W...
@2.3
JRPGs on Xbox 360:
Blue Dragon
Lost Odyssey
Eternal Sonata
Shortly;
Last Remnant (SE's biggest 08 title)
Infinite Undiscovery (by triAce)
Tales of Vesperia (acclaimed series)
Fans of JRPGs are getting plenty of attention on Xbox 360. The Library has more depth and quality than any other, and 2008 isnt going to change that.
"Adding a dualshock" rumble controller shouldnt really be a "benefit", it should have been there from the start.
Are the existing 8 Million PS3 owners going to get a discount to turn in their now-useless controllers?
$55 is a big "ouch" for the existing owners to have to spend.
At $500, you can get any game you want and a 120GB Elite.
What's such a good deal about this? It isnt "new" at all, i...
