Xbox 360: Install your games completely to hard drive, reducing loading times and noise. 16:10 resolution display options. Looks like I need a bigger hard drive.

I lol'd SO hard when they announced FFXIII for the X360.

Since then I've seen at least five posts of PS3 users on random forums saying they'll sell their PS3s as soon as they finish MGS4.

I should just stop reading comments on articles, youtube videos, any form of internet news media and entertainment and stick forums. Seriously my brains melting from all the bull people right. On the final fantasy 13 articles comments were more about how ps3 fanboys would cry and get mad because of this while there over zealous derogatory comments exposed them as microsoft fanboys themselves. Any way  seeing as how all the jrpgs are moving towards the xbox 360 it might just be my second console soon. I final fantasy really gets rid of their turn based battle system. They did this in ff12 but were not that successful (still can't get over the fact they made van a main character...) I was never a fan of the star ocean series but the games looking really nice and the battle system is looking nice and fluid. I like the idea of that 1:1 attachment for the wiimote. Just one question is on my mind. Will it work with the nun-chuck attachment. I hope so. This year is looking really good for fans of jrpgs.

@ForceCube you posted while I was writing please don't take offense from my comments.

At least I didn't have to worry about making my own topic for this event.

Pretty cool to hear they actually decided to do an Xbox 360 port.  Now if those complainers would please zip their lips.

Must...resist...making a horror movie joke.

I liking how they added a co-op mode into Resident Evil 5.  Should be interesting how that turns out.

I'll have to see Nintendo's press conference tomorrow to see more of this.

Same here.  Those extra maps I downloaded for Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 are just eating up my 20 GB hard drive.  Not to mention, HD videos doing the same thing (I mean, I actually had to delete a few hard drive eating video when I decided to digitally rent Batman Begins from the marketplace).  Now with installations coming, there's more reasons to do so.

Then there's the new 360 makeover.  Microsoft is getting in on some Mii-like stuff and other things.

Hopefully, this won't be as boring as last year's E3.

Don't worry, I'm not offended.

In fact, this announcement only made me laugh because some PS3 owners I know (and see posting in forums) are acting like they lost a child or something, and just some months ago they were the ones shouting "JUST YOU WAIT, F***ING MICROSOFT FANBOYS!! FFXIII SHALL COME TO DESTROY YOU ALL!!". It's fun to see these people swallowing their own words like that. Nothing against Sony or PS3 owners in general.

I couldn't care less about Sony, MS or these current-gen wars myself. I'm completely satisfied with my PS2 for now, and all three consoles are still too expensive anyway.

[Cless]

I don't care if it's sacrilege to old Fallout fans, but I really like how Fallout 3 is looking. Mirror's Edge looks ace too. I'll probably be getting them for PC, though.

Isn't it going to be on the PS3 anyway? >_>??  So I see no reason to get jumped up ... except maybe people don't want to wait XD???

I mean, it's being ported to the 360, right? XD???

I'm clearly not keep up with the news at the moment. ._.

[Cless Aileron]

Wow!  That's just messed up.  I mean, it's multiplatform.

I'm at a lack of words.

[Kevassa]

Oh my god, people actually think gaming as personal experiense D:
Dont let them touch Tales of Phantasia, they might think dying on a tree will make everyone happy (lol?)
Then again, it is a port guys, I dont think it is that great of a issue, is it?
These kinds of fans are... omg weird?
> >
< <
Tell me there arent Tales fans like that

[Hoa Dao]

Tell me there arent Tales fans like that

I don't think so.  Maybe.  Mainly because they don't want to buy a 360 just for one game, or a system that breaks down or something.  And Vesperia will be ported to PS3 anyway. Right?  Yeah? XD??? Who knows wheee ~~

I hear the Red Ring of Death is blown of of proportion.  Maybe it's not as big of an issue now.

Isn't final fantasy going to come out on the ps3 as well in north america and europe? This is confusing me... Also... Betrayal? Is he serious? I didn't know square specifically promised him that it was going to be exclusive to the ps3. Nothings official till a game is released. This is why I don't get consoles early... It's squares decision alone what console they release for. They don't have an exclusive contract with sony any more. The reason the moved to the play station in the first place was because they felt the cds would be better to work with. They stuck with the ps2 because it was popular. Now they're releasing multi platform because they feel the sales of the ps3 in europe and north america aren't very promising for an exclusive. Betrayal... Yeesh...

Please... I hope Konami announces a MGS4 port for X360. Fanboy meltdowns are a thing of legends.

[LJkAze]

I don't get it, it not end of the world for crying out loud but I honestly have to say one thing~~~~

OWNED OWNED OWNED OWNED OWNED OWNED OWNED OWNED OWNED OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They still have FF13verse so dont cry Sony fanboys ^_^

[Cless Aileron]

"Oh no!  I have stock in Sony!  After hearing Final Fantasy XIII is not a Playstation 3 exclusive, the stock for Sony is going down!  Help me!  I invested too much into Sony and I'm going to lose all of it!"

It's satirical!

I don't have stock in Sony.  The Sony fanboys are crying over Final Fantasy XIII not being a PS3 exclusive as if they actually have stock in Sony.  Now, I don't know if you actually have stock in Sony but honestly, you don't need to act like you do since you'll still be able to play Final Fantasy XIII on your PS3.

Yeah, I just had to do a ridicule on the Sony fanboys.

But seriously, that is hilarious and my comments above in this post is exactly what I'm thinking over this craziness!  Square ruined their honor by making FFXIII also available on the Xbox 360?  Crazy!

[Cless]

Apparently Nintendo's conference was god-awful. Like, worse than Sony's 2006 one.

New Wii Sports game to be packed in with 1:1 attachment

Painfully bad Wii Music demonstration

Animal Crossing Wii finally announced

Sounds pretty sleep-inducing. That's really all they could preview with the new attachment?

Apparently Rhythm Heaven announced in a press kit after the conference. That makes some people happy. Now where the hell's Soma Bringer?

EDIT: Well, at least there's one good thing after all the disappointment! More Resident Evil 5 videos!
