Maybe for a hypothetical Japanese version. The English translation, while greatly improved from the SNES days, is pretty bad. Still, a Final Fantasy VII remake for the PS3 would be a giant waste of resources. If they're going to remake it, put it on the PSP, which is far cheaper to develop for than the PS3.
Its all because the world still sees her as Hannah Montana. Doesn't stop her stuff from being garbage all the same, though.
Oh, hey a sequel to a game that I felt looked great, but played painfully generically.
The 360 version of XBox Live was designed with MMOs in mind, granted FFXI and technically Phantasy Star Universe are the only ones on the console. Either way and even though they never decided anything, FFXIV was considered for 360. However, as for the view that it flat out wouldn't work, tell that to the people that were saying that FFXIII was impossible on 360.
...
Yeah, I was talking North American numbers. In total, the game has sold about five and a half million copies world wide, with about equal sales across North America, Japan and PAL. However, there is no 360 version in Japan, not that it would have made much of a difference over there.
494,000 is actually about the amount sold on the 360, but when you consider that qualifications for Platinum Hits are the game being available for 9 months and sales being around half a million, it's still a good amount of sales. Note that most developers set sales projections around 150,000-300,000 copies. Three or four considering that even if they had made the 360 version of FFXIII the exact same size as the PS3 version, it still would have fit on four discs. If they use the same rebuilt engine used for the 360 version of FFXIII, FFvXIII will be able to fit on three or four discs with no problem.
Because FFXIII wasn't one of the best looking games ever made that was made entirely for the PS3, then completely rebuilt for the 360 meaning that the 360 version had absolutely no effect on the PS3 version..... Seeing as going multi-platform helped sales for FFXIII, I'm not surprised that they are looking into multi-platform for vXIII.
That has little to do with age, but rather due to the fact that, for the most part, grunge is a dead genre. After all, we don't have post progressive, do we? The problem with calling grunge classic is that a lot of important "modern" bands have been around since the grunge era or shortly thereafter. Anyway, my opinion on the subject: I hate trying to determine if music has changed quality in recent years. There are way too many factors in determining which is better. Are we talking about influence? If so, then very few "modern" bands are noteworthy. Are we talking production quality? If so, then "modern" wins simply due to improved technology and, *sigh*, Auto-Tune. If you try to argue that modern mainstream sucks, well, it sucked in 60s, too, you simply have more exposure to what's on the radio today as opposed to what was on the radio 40 years ago. Simply put, music quality has absolutely nothing to do with age, it has more to do with how much effort and creativity is put into making it.
OK, two people have mentioned Nirvana, so I have to ask, since when does 90s grunge count as "classic"?
So, classic rock is grunge, hard rock and thrash metal while modern rock is crappy pop-punk?
Yeah, my old PSP ended up devolving into a portable Cave Story machine. As soon as I get my new one hacked, the same will likely happen to it, too.
Sell it and get a DS [/sarcasm] In all seriousness, the PSP is somewhat annoyingly limited. There is, however, some great stuff on it despite that. Burnout is a must if you like racing games, if you like strategy, the Disgaea games are excellent choices, platformers have Jak And Daxter and Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? and, finally, rhythm games have Rock Band Unplugged and DJMAX Fever.
1-10 with 10 being most pissed, 1. Its not as bad is could be. Hell, there are only two reasons I stuck around Destiny Islands as long as I did, I...
Evanescence is more or less a pop version of bands like Epica, Nightwish and Within Temptation. They do nothing new, nor do they do anything that isn't new very well.

Meh, I'd have considered the faceplate if A) it was a similar design as the FFXIII PS3 as that makes a lot more sense of a design for such a thing and would also fit the design of the XBox itself better and B) if it was a horizontal faceplate. Because I'm not an idiot and don't want to see my discs shredded, I will not sit my XBox vertically. Still, even if it was the kind of faceplate I would want, I still wouldn't buy it at $50. EDIT: As a bit of humorous irony, if the faceplate were what I wanted at a price I would want, my copy of FFXIII is still the PS3 version.
Its probably a standard thing. This is effectively the same bundle as the Modern Warfare 2 bundle, but in white and with a different game. Its probably that Microsoft has determined the 250 Gig harddrive, two controllers and game are to come with all the new bundles. Besides, can you really complain about a more or less free controller?
