I refuse your reality and substitute my own.

And besides...how? I can understand how they port RE4 to the Wii, but Dead Rising...how are they gonna use the motion-tech?

Oh Mythbusters, I love you so! Saw it in the USA when I was there in the summer and the US commentator is really wired. No where near as good as the UK one.

Oh, this would get some flame wars going on other forums. All I'm gonna say is that the above is true for US but not the Japanese!

I'm still searching....but I'm like 99.9% sure. I kept staring at the pics thinking I didn't need to get a genesis and Shining Force because nintendo had this coming out.

I've actually been waiting for an exclusive game to wow me on the ps3. Not a metal gear fan, so that didn't get me.

I think Disgaea 3 might get me. If that doesn't DC Universe online probably will. I look forward to it, and trying out some games that have caught my eye, but didn't make me buy the system. Drakes fortune. Time crisis 4. Ratchet & Clank. Eye of Judgement.

Is that real?!? I cant believe that they would even go through the trouble to ship that game on 20 or so dvds.

Well it could be if FF13 is on 4 discs on the PS3 due to Blue Ray having 5 times the storage of HD DVD. But the last FF that was more than 1 disc was FFIX on the ps1 so I really doubt it.

At the most I say 5 discs on the 360

A recent epsiode of TWiT said FF13 would be one BluRay disc on PS3 and two DVDs on 360. Two discs wouldn't be a huge deal, except that 360 is also getting lower-resolution textures to make the game fit on two discs.[/url]
