Sony didn't publish the PC version, so there are some chinks in the armor. Clearly they don't have full control...

Sony only published FFVII majorly...And only outside of Japan....No they have no control what so ever outside the PS brand

Becuase of the Windows version it would be more than Possible to see it on Xbox...But I don't think MS would want to waste thier time...

Probably because the PSN version is just an emulated version of the PS1 game. I suppose they could put the PC version of XBL. But given that the PC version was Glide based, they'd pretty much have to redo the game from scratch.

Who knows, maybe Sony asked SE for the games exclusively to PSN.

I remember XBLA having size limits. But I just noticed that NCAA game is like over a gig. FF7 would be a nice addition and guaranteed to sell, but it won't happen.

I think MS is pretty flexible with those limits. They've already increased the "size limit" once, and even let Portal release even though it is huge compared to othe XBLA games.

ah... you could probably compressed the crap out of that game without any problems visually... though a port of the PC game would be the logical choice for the 360 since it wouldn't need the multipul ISOs just the like the PC version didn't have to have the map and towns installed multipul times. I wonder how far they could compress this? The music was .wav based on the PC version if I'm not mistaken as MP3 audio use in a game didn't come out till the Wheel of Time game was released.
