why do you guys think they paid for it?i think they didnt
Why?

 


well maybe because they wanted to support sony

Konami isn't about to risk tens of millions of dollars to be nice to a company that owns no substantial amount of stock in them.

 As much as Sony paid for MGS4.

 

I don't blame you for thinking Starcraft is paid by MS at all.

Lol. Sony IS buying exclusives, but all the wrong ones.

-Heavenly Sword
-Lair
-Haze

vs

-Mass Effect
-Bioshock
-Star Ocean 4

If they paid for these games, a refund is certainly due.

They said the same thing about Heavenly Sword... Which made everyone laugh hysterically when they realized that it had more sound data than it did game data.

Compress the sound and you've got a 3 DVD game, tops. Maybe even 2 DVDs.

The power difference between the two isn't enough to stop production if they wanted to port it.

But of course with the salary you must be getting, its a miracle Sony can afford to do any moneyhatting at all.

LOL everyone is getting mad when you ask a question makes no sence to me =/
I know huh? I didn't even imply sales would be bad.........

 


Perhaps PS-She was right.

Anywho, the real question isn't how much Sony paid for exclusivity (if they did at all) but how much profit Sony is going to rake in from it.

 heavenly sword is sony's IP,,unlike Lair and HAze

 

bioshock is heading to PS3,,a better and enhanced version  of it

 

so will Mass effect and Starocean 4

 

that's something you can't say about the PS3 exclusive you listed(though i hope to see a haze port to 360)

If that.

They never said it was pushing 50gb, they said they were struggling to keep it on a 25gb disk and then made a big song and dance about being the first dual layer BR game that you can bet was planned from the start.

Remove 7.1 surround sound support and your golden for two disks tops.

Due to its linear nature, one disk-switch shouldn't be an issue.
