You can't get sky for free. you need a sub. Maybe espn is free in america. Its not here but sky isn't. To get espn you have to pay a sub

If you don't want it on xbox but want sky you still have to pay. Why cant you understand that. You're nitpicking to suit your usual bias against anything ms.

Face it you dont understand and unless you are asking tohave it explained you shouldn't talk on things you dont know about.

naaaa...who the hell watches baseball?

only americans,  wich already have an x360


As a Baseball fan I can tell you for a fact that the PS3 deal with MLB TV is much better than ESPN.

ESPN will show other sports but for Baseball only ESPN is nothing.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

people will but HALO games too on a PC but they do not make anywhere near the impact they do on CONSOLES

 

GEARS 1 was on PC but it made more impact on CONSOLE

The reason Gears 1 made more impact on console is because it was released on the 360 first and then ported to PC a year later.

This will not be the case if FF14 was released simultaneously on PS3 and PC.

 




it would have as PC impact would definately have been lower

you can see all the games mostly console history will do better on consoles


You're right, games like Final Fantasy with a long history with consoles will do better in consoles but that's not the case with FF14 because:

1- It's not a single-player RPG experience like most in the series, it's an MMO like FF11.

2- MMO games have a much bigger fanbase on PCs than consoles.

3- PC sales will undoubtely take a good chunk off the PS3 sales just like what happened with Mass Effect 2 when it was released simultaneously on 360 and PC.

4- Most MMOs play better on PC because of easier and better interface. note: I don't know if this case will apply to FF14 because I don't know that much about it.

Gears 3 is really the only game right now that's keeping me from selling my Xbox 360, and online MW2 that I still occasionally play with friends.

There aren't really any 360 exclusives at this point that interest me. I was hoping for some announcements at E3, but they didn't really announce anything, so it doesn't look like there will be many games in the future to keep the dust off my 360. Now that I have a PS3, most of the 3rd party games I want are covered anyway.

it was officially said as console exclusive by SQ and SONY

Well guess what...

THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT AN EXCLUSIVE GAME TO PS3 ONLY.

For fuck's sake, it's not a difficult concept!


i didn't say its exclusive to PS3 but in the console market it is exclusive

They wanted to announce their exclusivity deal with the franchise that has the best selling multiplatform game of last year and two of the top three best selling HD games of this console generation.

I'm not sure i understand this, Microsoft's conference is over, and their not showing anything else, no games etc. just mainly Kinect ???


Thats where the hype is. Thats what people have been talking about. You might not be interested but thats where the buzz is and they've delivered.

Yeah thats fair enough, but i was under the impression they would talk about future exclusives, maybe announce Mass Effect 3. there wasnt anything on the Live service and nothing about Dreamcast games getting put on the store with better visuals. no new Live games, no new Live services. so i was curious if they would say stuff about this later on or if this is it. it seems that was it, mainly Kinect.
