Or you can get it for the 360?

I have never bought a console just because of the "company". All i'm saying is i had an Xbox for a short time and it was as shit as the computers the company also makes. Nintendo have made some good handhelds but the majority of "big" consoles were shit. I always bought Sony consoles cos they are actually good and fun to play.

"Final Fantasy should come to Xbox 360", says Sakaguchi
Monday 19-Mar-2007 12:11 PM "It makes so much sense to me", comments Blue Dragon man and FF creator
7 Comments
After leaving the company to bring his RPG duo Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey to Xbox 360, Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi says that Square Enix should bring Final Fantasy to Microsoft's console.

The Mistwalker boss told Gamespot: "I feel that the Final Fantasy series should come to Xbox 360 as well. This is wise. It makes so much sense to me...it has so much potential in North America and in Europe. So there's a great chance for the series to succeed on 360 as well."

Continuing the chat Sakaguchi-san suggested that Square Enix could port its upcoming PS3 instalment Final Fantasy XIII to 360 fairly simply, because "they made the White Engine open platform".

To date Square Enix's support for the Xbox 360 has been fairly week. A port of the 11th Final Fantasy has so far been the only one of the company's titles to make it over, but with the current trend of cross-platform development we wouldn't rule out the idea of Final Fantasy XII on 360.

OMFG!!! You just said the NES sucks! That's the Grandaddy of them and Atari's the Grandmama.

Unfortunately MGS 4 WAS going to be bought by Microsoft but they changed their mind at the last minute to leave the PS3 with some half decent cards to play with.
A CNN reporter, while interviewing a Marine Sniper, asked. "What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?"
The Marine shrugged and replied, "Recoil."

Lol did you count or did you find an article? Besides exclusive games for 360 are funded by Microsoft and turn a mediocre game into a chart topper. Crackdown was originally a steaming pile of shit until Microsoft gave it the ol' spit shine.

That's sometimes a bad thing though, with all the cash they pump into it, they want a say on what the game will be like. They tried to take the chainsaw out of GoW, BLASPHEMY!

Have you held the PS3 controllers? They're shit. They weigh nothing coz there's no rumble, and the L2 and R2 buttons are disgusting.

I made £21,000 in my first hour of sales on the midnight launch but I feel sorry for everyone wasting their money tbh. (There's a pic of me on my phone holding £17,000 in cash from the launch haha)

We've had 3 faulties already in one day. And people are already trading the games in less than 24 hours after getting them, saying they're shit. My workmate bought a PS3 (I don't know why), and has brought stuff back because its being faulty and discs aren't reading. Blu-ray keeps fucking up apparently.

Loadsa people are cancelling their deposits simply because the PS2 backwards compatability is next to nothing, and you can't even save PS2 games on it yet without the adaptor which hasn't even been released. Oh, and with the 360, the demand was higher than what we had. With the Wii, we still get around 50 calls a day asking to reserve one, and when we do get them in they sell within the hour. With the PS3, we have like 175 in stock and can't sell them whatsoever. They're taking up my staff room :(

So far, the PS3 sucks hairy sweaty balls.


No-one wants a PS3 from Argos lol, We got like 70 in stock and I picked the first one on Saturday, think we've sold about 6 up to now, the Wii we can't get enough stock of, I haven't played either but when we do get the Wii in stock its reserved and gone the same day lol :roll:

I just read a newspaper where it says that PS3 first day sales have beaten XBox first day sales and it's doing well, although it's pricy.

We've already had PS3s traded in, and around 10 back faulty so far. We get around 20 Wiis a week on average, and they usually sell within the first 30 mins of the shop opening. People wait outside for one.

Speaking of newspapers, here's the pic of the first PS3 THAT I SOLD at the midnight launch yet my BOSS was in the photo and NOT ME >: (

However, there's a professional artist's impression of me and where I was stood behind the tills..
