You need to leave this discussion altogether. You're being too hostile and are getting close to a ban.

@everyone else

Can I be supplied a link from Team Bondi that announced L.A. Noire as a PS3 exclusive? I don't mean a current link. Even an outdated one from years back will do.

I can't find the official announcement but there's this:

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/i_teambondi

The man being interviewed is the founder of Team Bondi

http://www.linkedin.com/companies/team-bondi 

Neither one of those links announce L.A. Noire for the Playstation 3. My question is, where is the link actually announcing it? Does it exist, or did the media and fans merely connect this interview of an unannounced game Team Bondi was making funded by Sony, with the original announcement that a game was being developed from them called LA Noire? Did the team ever actually state that LA Noire is exclusive for PS3?

I ask this because it seems LA Noire's exclusivity to PS3 seems to be predicated on nothing but an educated guess, which is no better than what jesus kung fu did trying to prove it's coming to 360. If the most glaring of proof cannot be used to assist that this is coming to the 360, then why does it seem to be exactly the method used to assume it was originally the mystery game Team Bondi's head of staff talked about in the interview in 2004? There doesn't seem to be any announcement from Team Bondi or from Sony directly linking the game LA Noire with PS3 exclusivity.

So if someone could assist me, where is the actual announcement that this game is PS3 exclusive? I don't care what year it's supplied from. The only things I've seen on the net are second hand accounts from gaming websites when LA Noire was unveiled that automatically tied it to PS3 because of earler ties Team Bondi had with Sony, but there doesn't seem to be any official statement from either party circulating the net that it was at any time an exclusive to the PS3, which makes me think it doesn't actually exist.

I can't find any sort of official press release or anything like that. The closest thing I see to an announcement is this trailer.

This trailer does show however that R* publishing the title is nothing new. That eurogamer link has the founder and the owner of the company stating:

It's a long term exclusivity deal with SONY.
SONY's funding development of the title. 

I don't see how this isn't confirmation. Who's a more reliable source from Team Bondi for this type of information than the CEO himself?

Also, it was never the mystery title. The issue with the argument with Jesus was that he didn't think R* had 2 Ps3 exlusives coming.
