Between Phantasy Star Universe and FF XI--two of the only subscription MMOs on Live--what makes this MMO any different? I'm guessing MS just wants a bigger cut of the action.
@Ezio Auditore da Firenze Does EA even do timed exclusivity between PS3 and 360? I've always thought they were the ones who prefer to not do those sort of deals. I could be wrong though. It's just no EA games come to mind.
And this is why China is amassing almost all the money in the world. They export almost everything, and import very little. With all that money, they're also the world's loan shark and someday they'll want to collect.
The battle mode just sounds like a small diversion away from the game. If they were to fashion it the style of Marvel vs. Capcom, that would be awesome, but I imagine it'll just be something to play around with when you're bored with grinding.
Eh! Wrong answer. Rumble is important. In fact, any sensory feedback enhances the gaming experience. That includes: audio, video AND touch. Smell-o-vision is the next sensory enhancement...it's the future of gaming. Once we get taste, we've got Star Trek tech! "Computer...tea, ear grey, hot."

Aug 18th 2010 2:36PM (Joystiq)I didn't see any mention of content. Timed exclusivity usually means one platform gets the game earlier than the other for a set period of time.
Despite Dante's Inferno having additional content on the PS3 version, it was a simultaneous multi-platform release.
