The Square Enix conference was all about one thing: Final Fantasy XIII. Today's startling announcement was on the mind of everyone in attendance. As a result, journalists were quite fixated on the topic.
According to Siliconera, Final Fantasy XIII's 360 port has not been announced for release in Asia. The team is currently focused on finishing the Japanese PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII. "The priority is to bring it to the PS3 first." Once the game releases in Japan, the team can then work on localization and porting it to the Xbox 360. This may mean we're going to suffer through an intolerable wait for an English-language release.
The main reason behind today's announcement is obvious: the Xbox 360's significant userbase in countries not named "Japan." However, although Final Fantasy XIII has been announced for Microsoft's console, Versus XIII is still in development as a PS3 exclusive. Of course, considering today's revelation -- will that exclusivity truly last?

Well bluray has faster read times than DVD. Bluray at 4x is faster than DVD at 12x, but the ps3 uses 2x which is only as fast as DVD 12x's minimum read speed.

Proof please. If this was true then it makes no sense for developers to require 4GB of disc space to "install" the game if the bluray was capable of DVD read times.
Don't get me wrong, I have all the consoles but I'm making a comment regarding idiot fanboys who pretend like having multiple discs is some kind of limitation when it not burden at all.
