Not to bitch, but the word exclusive is being thrown around a lot today. Remember Assassin's Creed?

It's not that i doubt this is PS3 exclusive, but rather that i'd like to point something out.

eh, usually when a game is "exclusive" nowadays it's only for an X amount of months

Looks like I'll have to buy a god damn fuckin PS3 now doesn't it?

Virtua Fighter 5 will be the most expensive game ever for me.

So true. And as much as I love VF4: Evo. (M y fav 3D fighter, ever), If the VF5 is going to be a PS3 exclusive for actual keeps, then I may have to take a step back and just wait. I'm interested in the PS3 but with all Sony's trying to make the thing do, and them saying it's going to be "exspensive", I'm being steered further away from it.

Full Auto 2 on PS3 makes no sense to me. Why build a fan base on 360, only to move to PS3.

not that Full Auto has a huge fan base but still.
