ok so to explain briefly, i finally got a PS3. I always have wanted a PS3, but nedded it with BC. I found a person who actually had a 80 gig BC PS3 and sold it to me for 200. Unfortunately the only game i got with it was motorstorm. On my to buy list are both God of War 3 and FFXIII. My problem is im not sure if i should buy FFXIII for PS3 or for the 360. Most of my friends are on 360, so i could have convos while playing, but ive also learned i dont liek being in partys while playing my RPG's. im not gonna lie i like achievements more then trophies, but then again FF series has been on sony platforms since i began playing RPG's and im stuck on if i should add 2 game to my PS3 library or get GoW3 for my PS3 and FFXIII for my 360. Opinions please

The best way to approach your situation, I'd say, is to wait until reviews are out. That way you can see if there are any clear differences between the two versions. If one holds a definite advantage in gameplay/visuals/etc. then you'll have a reason to decide.

Aside from that, and assuming they end up identical, it's really all up to personal preference. And if you really NEED someone to help you make the decision, then here's the best I can do: the PS3 version is on one disc, 360 is on multiple. PS3 is more convenient based on that. There ya go. Doesn't really matter though since you'd have to be the most impatient and lazy person in the world for disc changing to bother you. :P

Chances are the game will be better on PS3 (by how much, who knows) and if you CAN get the best version, there's no reason not to. So far the only definite thing we know is sound quality is higher on the PS3 version.

I would get it on PS3 if i had both machines. It just feels right to do it that way, and i dont like changing discs very much.

I'm getting it for the PS3 because FFVXIII is exclusive to the PS3 and I like to keep series on the same platform if possible.

what does the quality of the port have to do with what system the game was on? FF Is not exclusive to the Ps systems except for a handful of games only 3 games are exclusive minus the spin-offs.

I don't think it really matters. I'd wait and see which company comes out with the exclusive DLC. :P

Yeah, I remember actually seeing FF8 in a store for PC. I thought about buying it but reviews made me think otherwise.

Right now I personally thing performance might go to the PS3, but you may never know. To make you think even more, be more aware of DLC trends which definitely leans toward the Xbox 360.

I wont hold bank on that or ff 14 square has shown that they will capitalize on any opurtunity to bank big this gen. Even with their past fails on the xbox and pc this gen I can promise you that if FF 13 is not the big seller in the US and Pal regions 13 vs and 14 will be on the 360.

Okay?

I'm talking about Fabula Nova Crystallis (games all with XIII in their name, hence "series" or would you prefer franchise?)but thanks for the history lesson I guess. :|

oh really? aside from the slightly more pixelated static backgrounds the 3d looked vastly better on the PC, its all most like night and day from the ps1 originals of ff7 and 8 to the PC version where 3d characters and well 3d every thing was far better.

Well, you said your friends have 360s, but I don't think the game has online multiplayer anyway, I'm pretty sure it's a single player game, so you wouldn't be able to "party" with them even if you got the 360 version. You could still chat and talk with them I suppose, if that's the best reason you have going for getting the 360 version, personally, I would choose the PS3 version, it will probably be better on that one.

I'm not sure yet. I was going to get it on the 360 for the chat, custom soundtrack features, but then my 360 died. I'm not sure if i will risk it now.

Sounds very silly though, i'm sure
