it needs to sell weller :P i hope it comes to the 360 so i wount need to buy a ps-sre

why?

really why?

i didn't wanna write on this untill i saw this

there are so many gamers that bought the ps3 just for this and they paid lots of money, why would u see them sad and angry?

such hate is stupid and unjustifed , i want all the games to come multi so everyone can enjoy but u are the worst ever , u don't want the game but want to see people angery and sad >.<

the same goes for u two, read the above

Cool. I would join you on LBP to, but there is no way I can afford another console yet. Hopefully next year price drop and also I will be married "yikes!!!!!" so more expendable income. Luckily my Fiance loves games to. :)

Most of these agreements are timed agreements, otherwise Konami wouldn't be able to port the game anywhere else until the end of time. Also from what I gather, there is no proper translation on what was said in that Yahoo JPN article. It's been translated though the browser itself like a babel fish program, and I think the true meaning of the statement could have been lost in translation. This is what was written in direct page translation from Yahoo. You be the judge:

In addition Konami to the highest attention. Was a popular venue epic "Metal Gear Solid 4" (PS3's), "a lot of demand in the world for the launch of the Xbox360, are also considered forward-looking" (Konami's public relations office well Kai) And, of course, in view of multi-platform. However, PS3 will be available only to lose the title at the Sony is likely to be a negative factor. The series is the Sony camp is the only major brand, depending on future trends and the Konami affect Sony's share price can not deny the possibility.

I'll wake my gf and ask her to translate...

edit: On second thought I'll wait a bit later she pulled an all nighter doing some homework.

Cool beans. Here's what she should translate whenever she gets her lazy ass out of bed.

そのほかではコナミ <9766> への注目も高かった。会場で人気を博していた大作「メタルギア　ソリッド４」（ＰＳ３向け）について、「世界中で要望の多い『Ｘｂｏｘ３６０』向けの発売 も前向きに検討している」（コナミ　広報室・改井良隆氏）と、やはりマルチプラットフォームを視野に入れる。ただ、ＰＳ３向けにのみ発売されるタイトルが 減ることで、ソニー <6758> にとっては悪材料となりそうだ。同シリーズはソニー陣営の有力ブランドとなっているだけに、今後の動向次第ではコナミとソニーの株価に影響を及ぼす可能性も否定できない。

Heh, the funny thing is that cutscenes (the one or two that are a movie and not ingame) and audio are already compressed (quite clearly so - just read the credits/intro screens in the game).

Don't believe me? Check the MSG4 filesizes on the actual blu-ray disc. Cutscenes and audio files in total are only a few GB of the space used on the disc. Most is taken up by the actual levels.

But I'm sure you checked out this yourself before you started about the audio being uncompressed, despite the fact the game actually lists a compressed audio format used in the credits, right?

Not to say it can't be ported (any PS3 game can be done on the Xbox 360 in some form and vice versa) but the whole 'All PS3 games that use lots of space only use it for compressed audio and cutscenes' sentiment that plays out on the forums should really end. Mainly because its well, wrong.

It was a Double Layer Blu Ray Disc 50GB

This game would be pretty expensive to port, I'm thinking -- although of course it could probably be done.

I don't think Konami will do it, though. I don't think there's enough money to be made from it to justify the expense. If the game is actually 6 dual layer DVD9s, it will cost a fortune to produce and license.. Konami won't make enough per unit to justify the, likely extreme, cost of porting it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were looking into it.  I just don't think they'll actually do it.
