The outcry for MGS4 on 360 seems to be mostly people that just want it to not be exclusive; people that actually want to play it seem to be in the minority, or at least aren't being as vocal.

I think if it ever goes to 360, it will be with a "Substance" style re-vamp like MGS2 did, which won't be for a while.

And sold like crap.

So you want it to be an xbox controller?

I think the shape and arrangement are fine, especially for games that require four fingers for the shoulder buttons. The triggers could use a little hook to them; I find I press them way up by the top so my fingers don't slip. Other than that, I like the way it is now. Rumble will be nice, but I haven't missed it so far.

Yeah. I'm a little disappointed I can't play a next-gen Ace Combat until it gets ported or 7 comes out. There are lots of other games I liked more, but this was always a good one.

I'd add Ratchet&Clank, MGS4, Warhawk and LittleBigPlanet to the Sony side. And Devil May Cry's all around, they learned their lesson from two, they can't possibly mess it up. Killzone 2 tentatively, but I can't tell how linear it is. That really killed the first one.

About bais: there might be, but it varies between posters. I would say they lean toward the Xbox, as does the crowd. Andrew Yoon being called a fanboy in comments for saying *gasp* ps3 games look really good when they do, for example. Its editorial though, opinion pieces, so it's expected.

I don't think so. I've always found having both sticks in a lower placement makes it easier to use all the shoulder buttons at once, but that's just how I hold the controller. I prefer it to the s-type or 360 controller

I don't think there's enough room to put the left analog stick in that sort of placement. Seems like the knuckle where your index finger meets your hand would be in the way.

I, for one, like the gameplay established in the earlier games of this series and am glad it's going back to stuff like that. Deadlocked's levels were too short and Up Your Arsenal felt like it was bogged down with too many different things (vehicle levels, race levels, etc.) I remember playing through the original four times. Consecutively. It was just that good. So to hear I get an amazing looking game that plays all the way I like and none of the way that bugged me: Awesome. Multiplayer never struck me as that good, so the removal there of doesn't really concern me.

Then again, I'm the kind of person that thinks Halo 1 is currently the best in the series, pending the final Halo 3 evaluation. Less crap, well tuned.

Seriously? Another story about this? I'll start caring when the $499 price goes away.

Right now there is NO WAY TO TELL if the 80GB model with drop in price to where the 60GB is now when the 60GB models are gone. That's all there is to it. Clearance sale or not, the only people that know the ultimate price of the 80GB model are Sony employees.

While the story is accurate, it seems weighted to keeping the $599 price, which I doubt given the sales boost and the cheaper production cost. The headline is made to get people fired up though, which it has.

For all we know, when the 60gb models are gone, the 80gb model could be offered at $499. At this point all we know is "eventually no more 60gb model." and nothing else.

More so, I don't think anyone has gotten screwed here. Remember when 500gb hard drives were like $400? Production costs went down and now you can get them for $120. You needed one (a ps3, hard drive, whatever) right away and paid a little more for the same product. I paid $600 for mine and I've had $600 worth of fun with it and there's still a ton of great games coming.

Kojima made an analogy about the kind of experience each console is good for, and related that to the kind of experience he wants for MGS4.

Honestly though, if this had appeared at the Konami lineup I would have wondered about it being exclusive. Appearing at the Sony conference only? Yeah, no multi-platform plans.

Honestly, I don't think there's a market for it on the 360. For every 360 owner that's posted "yay, I might get to play it if this rumor is true" there have been 50 that post "360 FTW Sony is finished". Hardly anyone wants it to play, they just want to say it's not exclusive.
