@ Nightwish... my question is... what happens when ff13 vs comes along? I mean that game is going to be something else. P.S. the ps3 will be full of JRPG's so you may want to take that into consideration.

I actually don't know enough about FF versus to claim a future purchase of a ps3. I'd need a lot more considerations than that sole game to purchase the console. Have I taken it into consideration though? Yes. I am already backed up on my jrpgs for 360 at the moment, so my purchase wouldn't be anytime soon. I  also really want Magna Carta II when the price drops, thus adding to the more pile up.

*Awaits a long list of "here's games to take into consideration!!*" Lol.

Just keep in mind that achievements and trophies in video gaming won't impress girls into bed with you..... and should be the least of your concerns when playing video games..... imo anyways..... jebus..... SE is most likely going to make a PS3 international edition with all the added BS(all the content, multi audio tracks, and subtitles) on 1 single blu-ray down the road anyways by using the money they will milk out of us from buying 13 because they are bastards like that, and I'll end up buying that too because I'm an idiot.....

After the dreadful experience of having to disc swap Star Ocean 4 over 300 times (literally--because of item creation ingredients and traveling to get them), I will definitely be getting the ps3 version.

Plus, I don't have many Trophies so this will give me a chance to get some for my ps3.

ps3, itl look really good in my ff collection of games on my shelf, 13/versus/14.

The vast majority of multi-disc jrpgs don`t require disc swapping for backtracking. They put all the areas you can backtrack to on the last disc in Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery, all the PS1 FFs (unless the last disc was the point of no return. I can`t remember now), DQ7 (and most other PS1 jrpgs if I remember correctly) etc. So in LO, FF8 and FF9 you only swapped a grand total of 3 times, Blue Dragon and FF7 two swaps, and in Infinite Undiscovery and DQ7 just one swap.

If Square-Enix puts all the areas you can backtrack to on Disc 3 as is the norm, you will only have to swap twice during your entire 50+ hour experience. Star Ocean 4 is the exception to the rule when it comes to multi-disc jrpgs. Tri-Ace were being lazy bastards with how they handled the multi-disc situation in SO4. When Lost Odyssey, a four disc jrpg with like freakin 6 language audio tracks (or however much it was) and loads of FMV never requires you to swap discs to backtrack, Tri-Ace doesn`t have a bloody excuse. Just 3 discs of content and only one language audio track.

Why is it that everyone makes a big deal about multi-discs when situations like Star Ocean 4 (poor handling of the multi-disc issue) are an exception to the rule?

Thats what im hoping for actually, with all the content where its supposed to be without the act of greed, thats most likely the only way i'd buy and try to enjoy FFXIII.

Changing discs suck......unless its to access Netflix.  Then, it's awesome!

Neither platform for me. I suspect if I actually cared about it and actually had a PS3 then I would almost certainly purchase it for that platform. As somebody else said ealier it will match my collection. Also a quick look and the games are offered at the same price for both platforms so not a reason either.

It doesn't directly mention the 360 but one of the reasons given was "game volume". As volume isn't a problem for a Blu-Ray disk, it's believed that some of that content was done so to keep the number of disks down, resulting in both versions suffering some.

They'll likely re-use it for something else down the road, perhaps Versus.
