[quote name='jer7583']Why can't I just play MGS4 on my 360, konami?
I'm never spending $500 to play one game.[/QUOTE]It probably will not happen. If there's any series Sony will pay to keep exclusive to their platform, it's Metal Gear (just look at how hard they are pushing it with constant blog entries over the game). And it's not just that, late ports just don't sell regardless. Although Bioshock is coming to PS3, I guarantee it will not sell too great because it was a late port. If it was released on the same day as the 360 version, sales would be more comparable. Even with VF5 adding online play and C version content, it didn't sell as well as the PS3 version, because it was a late port. Last gen (in the U.S.), RE4 sold better on GC (despite the GC having a much smaller userbase than PS2) because it came to GC first. MGS2 Substance didn't sell too well on Xbox due to being a year later than MGS2 on PS2. The game does use up a 50GB blu-ray disc too (Kojima even wanted more space).
Anyway, every game platform will have their own third party exclusives, regardless. You either have to own every platform to play all the games, or just go without owning every platform and accept the fact that another platform got an exclusive game. I know those without a 360 who would really want Ace Combat 6. I know those without a Wii who'd love to have No More Heroes. And I know those without a PS3 who badly want MGS4, that's just how it works. Occasional exclusives are good for healthy competition.
And btw, it's really only $400 to play MGS4.
You may not get the PS2 BC, but it plays MGS4 (and there are deals to get it even less. Anyway, your loss IMO.
[quote name='Inf^Shini']For as much I've played Disgaea 3, I can say it's pretty enjoyable. I just wished they'd make the enviroment larger. When you zoom out, that's when everything looks nice and crisp, but once you execute actions/end turn it zooms right back in, something I've always been nit picky about :/
Other than that, gameplay is smooth, basically builds on Disgaea's Battle system and adds some tweaks, bells and whistles, etc.. Expect to spend 100+ hours on the game
I can't wait for it to come stateside, since half the time I didn't know what was going on
On another note, I just noticed FF IV DS' release date, and it comes out on my birthday
[/QUOTE]Yeah, it looks pretty cool and I plan to get it.
[quote name='Dandeschain']So, I spoke with the guy that has the PS3 for $250. Turns out, he bought it refurbished from GS. What, exactly, do they do when they refurb something? What does the GGT think of this deal? Yay or nay?[/QUOTE]PS3 failure rate is on the lower side, but I would just make sure it plays everything okay.
