Hope its not a 360 exclusive

It will be. MS has right of first refusal to publish all Bungie games. They'll be a 360-centric developer for as long as Microsoft wants them to be.

Oh well...nothing official yet.

probs wont be 360 exclusive, thats why Bungie split from microsoft so they could make what they want. so microsoft has 'NO RIGHTS' to anything other then Halo that Bungie makes, thsy can do what they please 

Incorrect. They have right of first refusal to publish all Bungie games. Bungie split so that they could create any new IP they want and so they won't be locked into the Halo franchise for the next 20 years. MS still has the rights to publish every game they make, meaning they can lock any Bungie creation onto the Xbox platform.

You don't really think MS let their best first party developer walk away with no strings attached, do you? They still own a party of the company, I think.

That doesn't force Bungie to stay exclusive : They just have to ask MS first to publish their game. They can perfectly ask MS to publish a PS3 version of the game... and if MS refuse then Bungie can turn themselves to another publisher...
