Interesting, maybe they couldn't buy FFXIII to come to the 360 so they decided on buying one of the next best things. Good to see they're being proactive, and they seem to have a good relationship with Capcom so yea, why not?

 

The timed deal won't do shit for MS if people know it's timed.  The illusion of perma-exclusivity must be maintained (a la Bioshock) for a game to benefit the console it is first released on.

Would be a waste of $$$, MS.  Again.

They don't waste money on badly performing 1st party studios that release games that have to be bundled to hit a million... Oh wait what do they do instead? They buy quality 3rd party games to make them exclusive for their console. A much better use of the money IMO. As for perm/non perm exclusive... it doesn't matter really. The people who REALLY want the game are the people who make the rash decisions like purchasing their first or another console for a game. The people who are willing to wait? It doesn't matter.
