I think its sad that the new Starwars game isn't going to be on the 360 but I also understand why, It is going to be an MMO which say what you will about it if done well then its a real money spinner. Look at world of warcraft that makes Blizzard billions of dollars a month just from the subscriptions alone never-mind having to buy the game itself. The problem I see with this is the same as Galaxies, everyone will want to be a Jedi. Its one thing being a Jedi on a single player game because lets face it. You're the main character but when its an MMO thats slightly different. I can easily see the force using classes in this becoming too overpowered very quickly which may ruin the game for everyone. For those that remember Galaxies it was actually a pretty good MMO but when they released the patch that allowed you to get the Jedi class without working hard the game got ruined because there where too many jedi and then they where a broken class, something admitted by the developers. To be honest I think this is a logical step for the KOTOR franchise so to speak. A third game I feel would only serve to make the story side of it poorer. I feel that making an MMO which has a loose story but for the most part they're free roam is a wise decision. Not putting it on 360 again I feel is wise because they would have to still charge the subscription to the game. So instead of it being say 8.99 a month, it will be for those that wish to play it on XBL around 12.99 or so. Many people dislike the MMO because of the subscription itself but those that do get them usually think along the lines of "Well its not THAT much" so it being over ten pounds a month is pretty much tipping it over the edge. Placing it on PC is a waste of time. What I would like to see out of a Starwars game franchise now more than anything else is either a SP game that focuses on Luke Skywalker after the events of the films or perhaps one that is based around bounty hunters, something fun but not focused on jedi and light sabers.
