I've been playing my housemates 360 version and it seems fine to me. Doesn't seem anything amazing though, like FFVII was when it came out.

I'll be picking up the PS3 version personally because with owning both systems I don't see the point in buying an inferior version of a game split over multiple disks when both cost the same price.

but you are getting more of the product physically! just... not virtually I guess..... then there is second life too...... brain hurts....

 

Well its like saying do you want to buy a HD blu-ray film or one lower than HD quality on a few DVDs to play on a cheapo plastic dvd player?

 

You still get the same film but one plays on a system that doesn't sound like a transformer having a siezure while it reads the disks, you don't have to get up to swap disk over and you get a better quality image and sound. Could you really feel happy sitting there knowing you've paid the same amount for a product, yet if you bought it for the other system it would be of better quality?

 

That's just my personal reasoning. Owning both consoles with 30+ games on each I find the PS3 the better quality, quieter and better value for money system compared to the poorly made plastic toy that is the 360, so as well as the better quality, uncompressed game on the PS3, you also get to play it on the better quality system.

 

Poorly made plastic toy? lol, really hard to take anything you say seriously. Couldn't disagree more with everything you just said. But thats your opinion.

@numonex- whats your deal? aren't you the dude who keeps on getting rid of your preorder?

@Topic- I'll be playing the xbox 360 version, not that i care what is what, since i won't own it i'll be playing it at a friends house, an' shes getting it for her 360 instead of her PS3 for whatever reason.

If i notice anything really off putting i'll post details on it later.

I do have my favourite platform, of course, everyone does. But I'm not closed minded, both have their advantages and disadvantages and I won't diss something without a valid reason that I've found evidence for.:p

 

@squall

I've built tons of computers and took apart and built a fair few different gadgets and gizmos in my time.

 

Taking apart my xbox to fix the RROD its pretty easy to see its mostly held together with plastic clips and half of the box is actually empty and just bits of plastic. The disk reading and fan noise is so loud I can happily use my worn out surround sound amp while playing because the xbox covers the high-pitched noise of the dodgy power supply on the amp (like the noise of a fridge but higher pitched). With the console having a 58%+ failure rate I would call that poorly made, Microsoft wouldn't have extended the warranty if they didn't face class action lawsuits and had to cover up the worst failure rate of a console ever!

 

When the PS3 clock bug hit in I decided to dismatle my PS3, clean it and clear the CMOS battery to reset the clock. The PS3 is well built with solid casing and the components fite the box suprisingly well, it looks built to last.

 

So explain to me how the 360 isn't  a poorly made plastic toy compared to the PS3?

 

I think its a valid reason to want a game on one system over another because of the quality of the machine, the noise it produces when running and the fact that the PS3 version is a superior quality product, no Fanboi BS about it. :)

 

If this were something like the Orange Box or Bayonetta I'd recommend getting it on the 360.

 

 

 

Edit: just to add put a fair few hours into the 360 version now and it seems great. Nothing ugly about it apart from maybe one or two poor textures, although they could be just the same on the PS3 version. Nothing wrong with the sound either, playing it in 5.1 and while its still not quite as crisp as say Heavy Rain it still sounds great (totally different sound styles mind).

If you have the option of both then the obvious choice is the PS3. If you only had the 360 to not get it because the quality of the video is better on another machine isn't in my eyes a good enough reason.

PS3 version is also sharper during gameplay, I like sharper visuals personally but if you are not so picky about resolution differences then it doesn't really matter since it's not a game breaker, just not as... sharp I guess.

But the sharper resolution on the PS3 doesn't impact you if you only have a 360.

and you sir are absolutely correct.



I guess the question is dahuman, are you getting the game?

Question to you or anybody else that already has/seen the actual product of 360 version of FFXIII. 

Does the 3 disc have an individual art on the cover? 

One thing i loved about the multiple disc games for FF were FF8 and FF9 where they had a character on each of the disc, and they looked gorgeous.

After all that slating of the 360 version why am I not surprised. /jk

I hope they would release a demo so I can try it.



Im getting it tomorrow on my 360! I certianlu wony be buying a ps3 for tgis game with such minor differences!

Secondly bayonetta has much better reviews than FF14 so far! So id rather stick to a console that can do a near on perfect port rather than a complete disarster!!

Ahmen!



Please this thread is ment for people that only have a 360 and were considering to get FF13. I don't care which console is better take that discussion into a different thread.
