Honestly, who cares? They aren't advertising the game anymore, and it was one of the rare exceptions that the PS3 version was actually "superior" to the 360 one, so anybody acting like this is going to happen a plethora of times in the future is kidding themselves.

What does that have to do at all with the OP?

Fact is that if the game was advertising the XBox360 version it must contain only XBox footage, even if it isn't gameplay.

 

This is about what S-E did and was found guilty of, not about which console gets better looking multiplatform titles. 

To be honest, The advert was advertising the game. Only at the end it advertised a 360 bundle. At no point did it say it was exclusive or that the footage was from any particualr system. 

IMO. There will be no conviction on this at all. Mark my words.

Did the commercial mention the PS3 version anywhere at all? If not then it was advertising FFXIII for the XBox360.

 

Yeah it may not end up being anything big, probably just Metro blowing things out of proportion, but I figured it was worth a post, especially since if I remember correctly people made a big deal out of it months ago.
