We got it a couple years earlier on the PS2. So go buy it for cheap and use backwards compatability if you have it.

because ps3 owners are likely ps2 owners, who may have the ps2 bully. Its on the Wii and 360 to expose it to a new gamers. If you wan't it you can always get the $20 PS2 game.

Ya i wouldnt have bought it just for updated graphics (or whatever the few bells and whistles they added to the new versions). Played it on my PS2, liked it and now on the shelf it sits.

We've already had Bully. And the 360 version is pretty much exactly the same except for it's got a little bit of extra content. And the graphics might be a little tiny bit better.

Here's the deal. The PS3 was hard to develop for when they started to move this game to next-gen. There is already a PS2 version so R* felt no need to bring it to PS3 and they couldn't bring it to GC or Xbox because those systems are dead so it makes sense for them to bring it to Wii and 360.

I've heard the Wii version is looks the same if not worse than the PS2 version. The 360 only has better texturing and(360 and Wii) have like 5-6 more submissions which only add about 2 hours to the gametime. I wouldn't say we got gipped we still got the core game. I feel the same way about GTAIV.

jipped nah, it's already on ps2 and you can get it cheap. I don't want R* to release a cash in port with a few updates for ps3; I would hate for crap like that to happen. I'd rather they continue work on those future ps3 games like La Noire and the other rumored exclusive. If you want Bully go find it for $20.

Logically speaking, considering the outcome of all this:

Most PS3 owners already played Bully if they were interested in it. 360/Wii could prove to be a different theory.

That game SUCKS!!!!!!!!

HORRRIBLE graphics and the gameplay and loading times are beyond awful.

This is the worst game of 2008 by far.

Bully (from what ive read) was a quality game that didnt sell too well because it came out late last gen and was overshadowed by current gen games,,,, i had a ps2 and never even heard of it until a couple weeks ago. I would def buy this game for PS3 if they released it at a somewhat discounted price $40/50. With the R* name, and being the first free roam game theyve put out + GTA4 hype, i think i wouldnt be the only gettin it.

Ill see if EB's got any used versions for under 15

And that's basically what we'll all be doing if we find ourselves needing to play the game and lack the "other" console.

Me? I just don't like games from Rock Star.

Probably because of the mr. Thompson lawyer dude. He is super anti video games. and threatened to boycott nintendo, microsoft, and sony if they supported bully, so I guess sony chickened out.

Just get the PS2 version I hear there is very little difference in the game itself, but there is a big difference in price.

I'm wondering the same thing. We didn't get table tennis which, to be perfectly honest, I don't know I wanted but it's just the principle of the thing. Oh well...money buys loyalty I guess.

They added quite a bit to the game. Mainly, the biggest difference is the hugely updated graphics. A lot of people are speculating that this is using an early build of the GTA4 engine.

Much better then the other picture in this thread, which was from the PS2 version of Bully.

To answer the question though, I would imagine that R* figured there would be too much cross-market saturation to release this game on the PS3.

I had great expectations of this game, after playing for a while I found it very boring, with bad humor and uninteresting situations, better watch Porkys or Superbad than spend hours on it. I can't imagine the use of the Wiimote/nunchuk they'll do as it's adult oriented and shaking the thing stupidly can only unnerve people.

Bully for the PS2 was an okay game but, I do think it was overhyped. I sold it because it just didn't have the staying power that the Grand Theft Auto series has. I do hope they come out with a sequel that really lives up to the hype. In short it was a great idea but, just wasn't excuted all that great...
