I have been reading gamefaqs for some time now and i feel i should finally contribute to the society. My microsoft insider where i get all my news from finally have something brilliant worth posting. Too me its no so brilliant (i am a ps3 guy), but to you it might be, BLU RAY add-on unit for xbox 360!. I believe its true as my microsoft insider often gets things months ahead and it becomes true but i never post (im no xbox fan, and frankly the news has only been this big once before. I hope its not true but he says it is.

Anyways Yeah the add-on will be coming, which i guess is good for sony cause microsoft has to pay royalties and stuff maybe. However it will be around late in the holdiay season and be priced and an extremely fair $149.99 in North America, and it will be released early 2009 in europe, is what my insider said. It will most likely be announced at GC, this is huge though as its somthing sony has over them xbox now has.

James.
Please Reply with your comments

P.S I beleive this is true its 99.9% true i think as hes neevr been wrong before.

@incogneato - Why did Square screw up? Cause they did something you didn't like or agree with? Did they screw up because they wanted to let more people, the console with the biggest fanbase(besides Wii), to enjoy the game. Or, is it because you didn't want the xBox owners to be able to play FF? Or, maybe, it's because they wanted more money, and realized the PS3 didn't have the fan base the expected it to have, so they had to explore different options?

Face it, we ALL thought Sony would have had more PS3's sold by now.. And, if you watched E308, then you probably heard the hosts, don't remember which ones, I think it was Adam and Morgan, but not positive, say that the Blu-Ray is saving the PS3, as in SOME people are buying the PS3 for Blu-Ray alone and not to play games..

So, how did they "screw up?"

Two things -

Sony owns God of War and they have the publishing rights for FFVII

Shadow Flare - 536 days 8 hours ago

I don't care if im being an optimist, but all this buzz surrounding FFVII and the hints Square-Enix have been dropping make me think this could actually be it. So far Square has said:

-Tetsuya Nomura, "expect a huge announcement concerning Final Fantasy VII very soon"

-Square-Enix, "There will be an announcement at the Square-Enix party that will shock FF7 fans"

-Square-Enix, "This E3 we swung the ball in Microsoft's direction. Very soon we will be swinging it back in Sony's direction".

An FFVII remake for PS3. And Sony owns the rights to FFVII so there is no chance Xbox 360 will ever see it. But keep begging anyway, we know you will.

I'd also like to take this moment to call out all the ps3 fanboys who totally lost faith in Square-Enix after the FF13 multiformat announcement. Those of you who let your feelings go nuts and didn't use your head. For one thing that FF13 deal is a load of rubbish on Microsoft's behalf if you actually understood what the deal comprises of, it gives MS little benefit in reality. And now hopefully we're getting an FFVII remake, exclusive, along with FF13 Versus exclusive. Square-Enix is still supporting PS3 most with its best franchises. That's called loyalty

Shadow Flare - "An FFVII remake for PS3. And Sony owns the rights to FFVII so there is no chance Xbox 360 will ever see it. But keep begging anyway, we know you will."

I own both consoles, if its a remake I get it regardless, but. I think you have your information very wrong. A companies IP is owned by the company that made it unless it wasnt their creation. For example Microsoft created the Halo and PGR IP's, and outsourced them to Bungie and Bizarre Creations, hence Halo or PGR wont see the light of day on any other format other than PC.

Final Fantasy was a Square Enix ip from the getgo, Sony don't own any of it. They may have helped fund development costs in some way but they didnt own any rights. Hence FFVII was given the green light to be published by Eidos on PC in the first place. So really, a remake could end up on either format.

And I agree with posts from 360 gamers who owned ps1's but not a ps3, they shouldnt be shafted if this project was to go ahead. I'm sure the select few Japanese xbox 360 owners would have felt this way with regards to FFXIII, hopefully Square Enix wouldnt repeat that mistake.

As for comments on the developer selling out. Well they are a business, they need to turn over a profit. But in doing so they're just widening the potential fanbase for the series and giving a wider variety of gamers the chance to experience the title. I think its healthy.

nirwanda - 536 days 4 hours ago

I heard kingdom hearts 3 was coming to the wii, there is defiantly a new FF MMO in the works they announced it ages ago and I think that is coming to 360 and PS3 think it was at the FF11 convention but not sure.

chrono trigger remake is going to the DS

and as for the FF7 remake rumour it depends on how the publishing deal was done sony published the game in the west but square released it in japan I think because most of the teams are busy the logical thing for them to do would be to port it to the PSP like the other earlier games have done with the DS and PSP and they would have a spare team left since finishing crisis core

parasite eve would be sweet it a very underrated game

I'll give you a bubble cause you were trying to make a joke, and by the amount of disagrees, I can see people didn't get it!

But seriously... That's a harsh joke for the fanboys to hear! Their skin crawled when they heard FFXIII was coming to 360. So if (by some extremely remote chance) a remake of 7 came to 360... and exclusive at that... the fanboys would probably have a heart attack!

Anyway, I get the joke...Bubble!

Sony owns the publishing rights to Final Fantasy VII, Therefore, Square enix *MUST* have Sony's legal permission to put it on 360.

But it doesn't matter anyway. You guys, get realistic. Square Enix cannot remake FFVII right now. They're working on a thousand next gen projects right now.

I mean, look at it this way, if they had to have some of the Versus XIII members help out on the main XIII projects, there's NO way they could work on VII too.

I'm pretty sure it won't be a FFVII remake, but then again I was DAMN sure the Blizzard splash page wasn't Diablo 3. I was CERTAIN that FFXIII was PS3 exclusive. I thought 256 players on a console was impossible...

This generation of gaming has taught me something: You can never be sure.

Sony published the title on Playstation, but they don't own the publishing rights exclusively. Eidos published the same title on PC. Same as Microsoft Game Studios published Mass Effect but it ended up on PC and the sequel will more than likely go multi.

Squaresoft was the best freakin' video game company ever. When they merged with Enix because of FF:SW, it all started to go downhill IMO, games wise. Never liked FFXII, hated FFX-2, and FFXI wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be.

Not following your point, are you saying this "Party" is for Japan and only Japan related news and the west is left out in total?
(meaning whats shown there will only be related to the PS3, 360 and Wii Japanese market and the gamers in the west should not care about this event).

You forgot to reply to the PS3 fanboys crying because SE is "further expanding in the western market(360 titles). Yet FF isn't even releasing on the 360 in Japan.

A Japanese meeting has nothing to do with what you are saying lol all it means is this is a regional show(Japan). Your logic suggest SE won't be talking about or showing more info on all known JRPG's lol. Think about it.

If you think about it this story is based on a event that happend for the western market and is opisite of you logic although I think both parties reasoning is ridiculous(yours and the article).
