AHhahahahahahaha! FF13 coming to 360

Never ever believed that could happen. Bombshell at the end.

Good summary of everything here:

Cant wait for more Portal. Funny timing as I've been hitting the Orange Box again.

I've just got in from a long day of meetings and thats the first thing I saw in my RSS list. Bloody hell! They only need to do MGS4 for the 360 now and well I won't care about the PS3.

Oooh that is nice, apart from one thing. Keeping the disc in the drive to prove you own it :/ But still, nice. Should cut down on the WHIRRRRRRRRRR.

Aye. Rather they make you keep the disk than bring in some new uber DRM!

That 120GB HDD is looking more appealing. Or even the 60GB.

Agreed. I'm guessing that those drives are stupidly priced though. Gotta love the way Rock Band 2 can import RB1 tracks to save swapping discs.

They packed a lot in. Lips looks good, the game itself is nothing over SingStar, guess they're hoping the ability to sing over your own tracks will sway people. Mic's look like a decent bit of kit though. New Scene It is almost way over the top, was just expecting more of the same. Gears 2 makes me want to go and finish Gears 1. Not sure on the new Avatar system, nor the TV show idea, but the new dash looks swish anyway. Browsing/buying online is a nice touch as well.

Either way, plenty to get your teeth into. Looking at the list of stuff in the PS3 2.4 update I felt Sony were catching up but this lot should raise the bar imo.

Tales of Vesperia demo on marketplace, along with a Too Human demo.

[edit]Sorry, getting the new Scene It confused with 'You're In The Movies'. They were in the same segment and the video got choppy.

I bet Activision are panicing over that, Guitar Hero will have to be amazing to compete with that functionality.

There's a 'New Xbox Experience' trailer on the marketplace which skims the new dash/avatars. Worth a look if you haven't seen anything of them.
