HD E3 announcement here: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36267.html

Quote from Kotaku AU

"Breaking news from the Microsoft E3 2008 press conference. Square Enix head honcho Yoichi Wada took the stage to announce Final Fantasy XIII for the Xbox 360.

Yes, just take a moment to soak that up. Final Fantasy XIII coming to the Xbox 360. Holy f**king shit. Simultaneous release in Europe and North America with PS3. Wow."

My response:

This news knocked me off my chair...

Not exactly happy with it though... whats the point of owning a console if the only decent exclusive is MGS4? (i dont really care for Resistance 2/Killzone 2) This wouldve been a major seller for the PS3, boosting sales of the console... Looks like Sony shouldve thrown more money at S-E...

It seems everything is going multiplatform... due to the amount it costs for games to be made, they need to re-coup that... but it then leaves no competition between consoles... (although M$ seem to hold on to their exclusives better/longer than Sony holds theirs, if at all...)

But i guess its good for FF fans who own a 360 to get it on the action... Lets see S-E try and release it on the Wii...

I wonder if Versus will still be an exclusive?

Ill still be grabbing FFXIII on PS3.

A comment made on Kotaku that i agree with:

"by Amazon_Chris at 10:11 AM 15/7/08

@GTA4er: The one thing I really feel kicked in the balls about right now isn't that it's multiplatform. I feel upset that they led us on for two years saying wasn't, and then they pulled the rug out from under us. Hell, I'll still play it on my Playstation. It's not like it magically ISN'T on the Playstation any more. It isn't like Square came in and said," 360 Exclusive. **** the rest of you."

If there's one thing that it reinforces, it's the notion that, other than a few exceptions, third party exclusives are dead. Do I think money changed hands on this? Yeah, I do. Not because it's such a big title, but because the announcement came so late in development.Hell, I think they aid above (correct me if I am wrong, please) that they haven't actually started the Xbox version of it. So, I guess that means it's a port then? Either way, other than stuff like Metal Gear Solid and Gears of War (PS3 and 360 respectively), third party exclusives are dead, and it's a company's first party exclusives that will, ultimately, make or break the console."

Sony have dropped the ball

Killzone 2 and resistance 2 are the only two decent exclusives left in the arsenal, who knows how they will turn out either.

Sony will be holding on to mgs4 for dear life.

Personally i dont care thats the beauty of owning both systems

Ehh i'm not really worried, exclusive games from 3rd party developers are becoming a thing of a past.

As long as sony, microsoft, and nintendo continue to make great first party games there is always going to be a reason to buy each console.

For example i'll have a ps3 for GT5, i'll have my xbox for Halo, and i personally wouldn't touch a nintendo console nowadays but where else can i play mario?

So I wonder how long it will be before MGS4 comes out on 360? :ermm: I'm still looking forward to God of War 3 on the PS3, even though all they had showing of it at E3 this year was a CGI trailer.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
