I agree with the list, Sony's got some 1-Ups with their version of FFXIII, but this all could have been avoided if they had a strict contract with SE, keeping a heavy-hitting exclusive in their custody. Makes no difference to me in the long run, just feel sorry for Sony (and the ticked off gamers who bought a PS3 solely for FFXIII).

Hm let's see, 360's got...achievements! That's a '+' for their version.

  SquareEnix have said that both versions are identical, so chances are if the 360 version does get achievements then the PS3 version will get Trophies.

4.Final Fantasy 11 was on the 360.
Remember 11, or as the more optimistic like to remember �The 6th most played Xbox live game�. Although this also appeared on the PS2, the game was mainly for Microsoft, as an early MMORPG. Unfortunately, bar the hardcore, the game never took off for 2 years on the platform, the same thing may happen again for 13.

I don't think so as 11 was a MMO and MMOs never really take off on consoles.

Everyone knows it wont kill the PS3, and everyone who thinks it will is an idiota.

I never thought It would effect it much. The PS3 still has enough good exclusives.

This is just unnecessary nit-picking from Sony Fanboys who need to reassure themselves that FFXIII on the 360 won't kill their fancy-pants PS3's. Word to the fanboys - Quit. Quit now.

Look, fanboys, this isn't about your love affair with PlayStation 3 or the 360. It's about Square Enix wanting more money. End of story.

It's amazing how this article was approved but the Mass Effect being exclusive to the 360 article was edited.

Gamegrep is terrible.

I'm not trolling it anymore, I'm actually trying to help people now. And how am I a tool? I have my own opinions and I don't blindly follow everyone else's opinions if they're biased. And please don't start this " puberty, wait till your balls drop " shit with me. For all I know you can be a scrawny little nerd in real life.
