Oh yes.

It's time to put your money where your mouth is.

This thread is so you can reference bets with other VGC members. Usually, bets consist of choosing an avatar for the other member, but if we can have some cooperation from the mods, I think we should allow temporary ban bets, as well (1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, etc). There can also be signature bets, or you can combine this thread with The Crow Eating Thread and just ask them to eat up.

So, who's got a bet going? I know leo-j is bet happy, and I think I saw Ck just enter a bet about Eternal Sonata selling better on the PS3 WW.

lol leo those are quite the bets....

With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

I'm willing to make a bet with anyone on these forums.

Heres my bet,

FFVII:CC will reach 5 million copies world wide sold total, 3 weeks after launching in the USA/UK. Of course if it reaches 3.5 million in Japan before its released in the US/UK the worldwide number for the bet I'll increase to 6.5 million copies worldwide.

Any takers?
