Most have us have gotten over the FF13 360 business.

I never understood why people still think that, mostly because it's the last in the series. I mean, even the PC and Gamecube ports was the first MGS and (I think) the 2nd MGS but the 4th and FINAL of the series going to a console that has never seen a single MGS before it? Whatever.

But for the actual reason of this thread.

Wow. In your dimension the Ps3 is actually the least valuable choice? What sort of twisted world is that?

Ah, I see. You are posting from the biazarro world.
Do I need to go over the value of the Ps3?

- Portal denounced as unoriginal. "Yah, we fucked up," says Valve. "People are tired of First-Person Puzzles. We're tinkering with a new innovation for FPPs, though. We're thinking of giving the player a gun." After a moment, Valve added "...that shoots bullets."

- Wil Wheaton awkwardly out of place at gaming convention. "Isn't that the kid from Star Trek: TNG?" asks one attendee. "What the hell is he doing here?"
