Well from the rumours so far it looks like Bioshock 2 will remain MS exclusive and Crysis will come to both consoles but will see a period of exclusivity on the PS3, probably arriving on the 360 around Christmas.

Crysis was so over rated, it also never matched the early videos they showed. I've seen videos on stage6 of Crysis running on dual 8800GTX's on 4gb ram and they don't even come close to what Crytek showed in the early days.

It would seem clear that MS paid for Bio. Regarding Crysis Crytek themselves stated a number of times they started exploring PS3 console first and 360 some time later, so why not get the game out as soon as possible on the console you learnt on first and follow (probably no more than 6 months I'd guess) on the console you learnt on afterwards?

As for why the immediate 'moneyhats' for MS its because they do it more often, and not just in games industry, therefore for most people the notion they paid comes more quickly than for other companies.

People create conceptions of companies based on actions just as they do with other people and apply them automatically to their reasoning... and so far this gen MS seems to being paying for exclusives (or even partial exclusives like DLC) for GTA IV way more than anyone else.

The second factor is that in most cases too much of such behaviour tends to garner negative responses from people (i.e. MS 'unfairly' using money to gain afdvantage rather than relying on merits of its console, games, etc). Link this to recent fine and the long history of MS using similar tacticts to overcome Netscape, etc. and its pretty obvious a fair few people are going to start reacting negatively to them using money for exclusives rather than positively.

Human nature my friends!

Personally I think paying for exclusives should be frowned on. In fact I think exclusives in general should be frowned on. It's probably because my background is playing on PC, but to me a console exclusive is like a game than only uses Nvidia graphics card... a ridiculous attempt to influence the consumer.

Let the console/games stand or fall for themselves and developers should be encouraged to get titles onto all platforms possible - obviously due to different consoles not everything could be multi-platform but you know what I mean (I hope you do).

Too often the consumer ends up with shoddier services when money rather than results influences markets.

sony is no stranger to moneyhatting... 500mil for WB to switch to Bluray?

If Crysis support keyboard and mouse on PS3, I will buy it

I'm not paying over 1K for a computer for this game, and I'm not using controller for FPS.

Uhhh....DMC4, MGS4 (I know you probably still believe any rumors of it going 360), and if you're comical, then Beautiful Katamari all say say hi

i was thinking...how cool would it be to get a bioshock 2 out but done threw the eyes of Fontaine--and heres the twist...at the end you can win the final fight and take control of the city

i mean while Jack is running around rapture doing our odd jobs we could be running other errands and advancing the story

My money is on a prequel. Imagine actually being there when all the shit hit the fan!

^thats what i mean--you start as fontaine and it goes from you trying to take control to up to the finale fight with you become super uber to fight Jack as a super uber

 I'm a PS3 owner as you all know and would love to just say this isn't true, but it is at least partially true. The CryEngine2 was definetely running on the 360 at GDC (inside the closed CryTek booth). And CryTek demoed it to some people. From what I can say, it is running pretty good.

 Unfortunately, it's not running on the PS3 :(. It's coming along slowly and still not in a state where it can be demoed.

 So, I find it really hard to believe any version of Crisis will come out on the PS3 before the 360. Most likely they will both be released at the same time some time next year.
