There's a reason I hate people...


Hate is too strong of a word, but dislike works. Sony fanboys are rampant in England though...I know from first hand experience. It's not Microsofts fault Sony did a exclusive FFXIII PS3 bundle in Japan and not in the west. Microsoft did it for the west and this is the respect they get.

With all due respect, I find that a little hard to believe considering the PS3 has the least marketshare there. But if you say so...never been to England myself, so I'll take your word for it.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Well if you like to know there is a Sony HQ there in Soho about 5 mins away from that particular HMV store .. But to be honest it seems like 60/40  marketshare here with small edge to MS

Just wait until GT5 launches. PS3's will be flying in England and the rest of Europe. I've been there and the mass majority of people I've spoken to have a bias against not just American products but believe the Japanese actually like Europe more than America.

FFXIII only releases on the PS3 in Japan, so it's sort of redundant (right word to use?) to say "exclusive".


Stop making excuses. It's obvious that launch party had PS3 fanboys majorly in there so Sony exclusivity is no excuse. Sony could've had a western PS3 bundle before Microsoft got their hands on that deal and you know with their clout they could've done it.

Errr, calm down there cowboy. I'm not making any excuses for anything, only pointing out the weird statement you made (Almost like saying an exclusive Halo 3 bundle for example).

Pull out the adrenaline needle, get your head out of the console war, and calm down.


Halo 3 is an actual exclusive. The only reason FFXIII is exclusive in Japan is because SE saw that the Japanese have a bias to the 360.

Or because the 360 has a tiny user base in Japan. And your statement is still awkward. Of course the FFXIII bundle is PS3 exclusive in Japan, it's an PS3 exclusive already.



I understand how they feel. I would want the PS3 version too.

To anyone whose ever been hurt by the 360 getting FFXIII.. Ill ask u to make a simple choice..

1. I'll give you $100,000

2. I'll give you $200,000

Which one would YOU pick.

hint:SE took option 2.



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

Bias? No, they know they have better options.



-A 360 port was not planned from the beginning of development of this PS3 title.
-The 360 Port increased dev time of the PS3 version
-Microsoft secured exclusive bundles (outside of Japan)

If you are a fan of Playsation or Final Fantasy, being presented with a bundle which emblem-izes all of those things is an insult.

Yes, anything of value is a prize in some regards, but that doesn't mean I would accept Natzi memorabilia just for the re-sale value.

Booing is immature and childish.
But in this case, I think its valid for the above reasons.

When Gears 3 comes out, lets delay it so it can come out on PS also, and only advertise the PS3 version, and have PS3 only bundles..
oh wait, lets not, consoles are different for a reason, and some third party titles should remain exclusive. Lets not pretend the multiplat version of FF was Squares idea because we all know it wasn't.

integrity and loyalty are rare in business, and yes $$ is the bottom line, but not all consumers are idiots and the informed ones will.. Boo when presented with a 360 FF bundle.



̶3̶R̶D̶   2ND! Place has never been so sweet.


^ Yes, because Final Fantasy on a non Sony platform provokes just as much anger as Nazi related items? Seriously, I wish one day everyone would realize that just about every time you try to compare something to the Nazis, it's not even close to being a valid comparison.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

just loving the ff fanboys/sony fanboys reactions...

just so entertaining :)... they really need to get lives hahaha....
