do u think i will be able to get a copy of pokemon diamond if i did not pre order itbopmaga1

depends on where you live. i might try tomorrow since there are4-5 stores selling them here. but then again, there is a reason that the pokemon games are the best selling video games in history. 

If this would happened all Microsoft unpopularity in Japan would disappear. FF games are so huge in Japan that you have yourself guaranteed 10 units of hardware sold just because of these games. Vojkan80001

if they could, they probably would, but they can't, so they won't :)

Walmart is buying 2 000 000 HD-DVD players at 50$ each.

look at the edit on the first link. either booth blu-ray and hd-dvd or just blu-ray will be that cheap, but i'll follow the article's advice and reserve judgement until the US press release 

So PS3 is the home for polished ports (NG, Rainbow Six, GRAW, FEAR, Oblivion) and remakes (FF)?

I would much rather see games built from the ground up and show it off, and give all these review sites a reason to not be "bias" and "unfair".

guessing psp port.  

Im sick of the ds only getting crappy/nerdy rpg and pokemon games!!!

Now i know alot of you are gonna flame me for this but i dont care. The ds needs better action, arcade, racing and adventure games!! I dont like pokemon at all and i think its only for a certain age group(mods this is my own opinion).

Does anyone else out there feel the same?

well, numbers don't lie. everytime a pokemon game comes out, it's a huuuuuge hit everywhere. hell, i still enjoy Pokemon games, the rpg elements are always done great. but seriously, look at the ds. racing games, not gonna work to well Mario cart did well, but at the same time diddy kong didn't/ arcade-there are a lot of arcade games on the ds (like Jump ultimate stars) many of which aren't available in the US. but the DS is region free and imports are plentiful. Adventure-well there's rpgs. not musch else i know of. you sound like a PSP person to me, all of the genres you listed are plentiful on the PSP (note:not hyping PSP, insiting flaming, just want to state a fact) you have to look at Nintendo's demographic. a lot of their business starts at age 8- and they all like Pokemon. might as well enjoy it 

I'll admit, the system has a lot of potential, but a success it is not. I don't quite understand why some people are still trying to claim it's a lot better - quality wise - than the 360 or Wii. It doesn't make much sense.

There's a Best Buy here that has about six PS3's sitting in the middle of the floor in the check-out area. It's like they really have no other way of getting rid of them.

I'm sure the lineup will change for the better; DMC, MGS, and FF will soon grace the console. But when the majority of people here (this site) are looking forward to a dirt-racing game, simply because it looks attractive, I question what the system really has to offer. I mean, I'm not going to kid myself, I know damn well that the majority of people on this site, namely PS3 fans, could give two craps about dirt-racing games.

Chloroformality

one extreme breeds another. the defence is in respons to people who claim all exclusives, even sony made ones, will port to the 360, and despite current market trends, all games will go to their system. if one side of fanboyism didn't exist, the other side wouldn't exist either. but the world is imperfect, and so is SW  

Pokemon titles need to change, I wouldn't mind seeing the following take place:

• STOP adding damn pokemon. The original set was fine, and you add some types cool, so add some then. But I don't need 8 different starting Pokemon for the fire element alone. :|
• Make it 3d, the DS can handle it.
• Change the battle system, hell I wouldn't mind a Tales/Star Ocean style battle system.

-RPGamer-

wouldn't work. for your first point, all the starters aren't available in every game, only 3. and they need to change the pokmon in the games to add variety and make every game a new experience. for the 2nd, the DP 3d on the ds is more than enough for me.

for your last point, this could work and might make them more interesting, but the original pokemon battle system is easy to use, and remember their target audince is young children. 

[QUOTE="DSgamer64"]FF13 has different platform variations. The real deal FF13 is stil PS3 exclusive, however there are supposed to be 6 projects that SE is working on, 5 of which are based around the FF13 storyline and are spinoffs. The only FF game coming to the 360 and probably PC is another craptastic MMO FF game, although I would imagine one of the spinoffs of FF13 will be on the 360, one for Wii, another for PC and the only other confirmed one thus far is for mobile phones.Illumination77

THat is quite possibly the worst game idea I have ever heard. Talk about flooding the market. NOONE is going to buy 6 FF13 games in such a small space of time.
