And something that gives me hope for xbox

Final Fantasy XI is coming out for the xb360  
I don’t play it, I really don’t care for it but i am happy square enix is working with m$

and [Final Fantasy creator signs for Xbox 2 | CdrInfo.com](http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.aspx?NewsId=12761)

Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of the Final Fantasy series, has signed on with Microsoft to produce two titles for the next version of the Xbox.

Sakaguchi will lead the development of two role-playing games for the successor to the current Xbox, Microsoft said in a statement on Thursday. The two games will be exclusive to the Xbox and will be published by Microsoft’s Game Studios group

So it might have some sweet _turned_ based rpgs.  
Currently there is one fully turn based rpg on the xbox  
Lord of the Ring : The third age ☹

> **November 11, 2005** - Today, at last, Microsoft opened up about which Xbox titles you’ll actually be able to play on Xbox 360. Along with [**a compatibility Q&A on the official site**](http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilityqa.htm), Microsoft released an initial list of Xbox games confirmed to be compatible – more than 200 already. Have a good look: Half-Life 2, Halo 2, check and check. Jade Empire? No problem. Super Bubble Pop fans, do not despair. Best of all, you can keep those tummies tight: Yourself!Fitness is _so_ ready for X360.
> 
> Of course, backwards compatibility requires a software emulator – one good reason to grab the premium X360 package which includes a hard drive and the emulation tools.

So let’s see… you need the $400 system to go backwards compatable… because you need the emulator which appairently needs the hard drive. That’s :gay: for MS.

^^ based on the cost of the components it’s estimated that by mid 2006 the ps3 will be literally double the price of the 360.

That’s not my point… to get backwards compatability you need to buy the more expensive system and you need to be able to go online with that system to download the emulator.

Besides… something tells me the PS3 won’t be as expensive as anyone is making it to seem. Notice nothing has been announced for that yet. Oh well… we’ll see.

[size=2][size=2][size=2][size=2]not completely true. you would only have to go online to get the “drivers” (that’s what they’re calling them) for any newly supported games. the premium system (the one with the hdd) will come preloaded and ready to play \<200 xbox titles. as time passes i’m sure the system will come preloaded with all new drivers as available.

what’s more, down the line i’m sure that M$ will compile a disc of the “drivers” that will be available for a few bucks. that’s the same setup that they used for the launch of the halo 2 updates and map packs. if you weren’t able to download them (and btw they did cost money at one time) you could pick this disc up anywhere games were sold.

[http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/256424.asp](http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/256424.asp) – this was $20, which is around what the cost that the maps would have run you if you didn’t want to wait a few months for them to become available free for xbox live account holders.

i personally think that the whole idea of a $300 console is ridiculous. obviously they have come on that number due to the successful launch of the ps2 at that price point. even M$ thinks that $400 (plus games) is a lot to spend on a console for the majority of working parents (i think we’re forgetting that this is marketed to kids… well you know not just little kids… but 18-25 year old kids too lol.) hense the $300, no frills system.

i pity the child of the unknowing parent that purchases the base system though. boo hoo. 😢

basically i think that it hits an established and successful price point, that’s about it.[/size][/size][/size][/size]

Eh… $300 system launch sucks but you should be used to it… if I’m not mistaken the original Playstation launched at $400. I hate as much as the next guy though… it’s damn expensive.
