PRESS RELEASE Santa Clara, Calif., (July 15, 2008) – Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., today announced Eternal Sonata™ for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. An award-winning role-playing game inspired by the life of legendary composer Frederic Chopin, Eternal Sonata is set to arrive on the PLAYSTATION 3 system this fall with new quests, new playable characters, new music and more. A unique role-playing experience, Eternal Sonata lets gamers travel with 19th century composer Frederic Chopin as he explores a magical dream world during his final hours among the living. Utilizing a breathtaking cel-shaded graphics engine that gives form to the ethereal beauty of Chopin’s music, the game transports players to a vivid world inhabited by brave heroes, fearsome monsters and stunning environments. The game’s fast-paced battle system features an innovative “light and dark” mechanic which allows players to execute different special attacks depending on whether they stand in light or shadow, and transforms enemies into new and fearsome forms. Combining turn-based and real-time elements, this system allows for creative strategy and engaging action in each encounter, breaking new ground in the role-playing genre. Originally released for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Eternal Sonata arrives on the PLAYSTATION 3 system with a wide selection of new game content, and new cut-scenes and features. The game’s roster of playable characters expands with the addition of Serenade and Crescendo, and players can now customize the look of members of their party with a variety of new outfits. Players can also enjoy several all-new dungeons, and even experience different endings. Critically acclaimed upon its original 2007 release, Eternal Sonata was selected as “Best Role-Playing Game” by GameTrailers.com and received “Best Artistic Design” honors from IGN.com at E3 2007. The game was also chosen as a runner-up in the role-playing game category at the Spike TV 2007 Video Game Awards. Eternal Sonata will launch for the PLAYSTATION 3 this fall and is currently available in stores for the Xbox 360. For more information, please visit eternalsonata.namcobandaigames.com.

OMG OMG OMG....It's fukin game over for Microsoft. This is the final nail in the coffin for MS. OMG OMG...

/sarcasm

Aww dudeman its okay, no need to cry. Its not all over for the PS3..you still have Blu-Ray. Its not much but atleast you can past the time by watching movies, while all the xbots play games on our system...oh and we'll be playing FF13.

hahahah Dudeman thats a good one !

you just said just like PIMP,

I see no different betwen fanboy from XBOX and PS3 fanboy, but at least you said it after PIMP, which makes PIMP a dumbass

ahhahaha

and Ow In Wow, you make it sound like only XBox can play FF13 ... ?

I think everyone is taking Take Two idea how multiplatform is the money making !!!

Im not trying to make it sound like it...im just saying now that the 360 has FF13, there are going to be alot of PS3 owners that are going to switch to the 360.

I still think that the 360 version of FF13 will be multiple discs though. While not a huge deal, I'll probably still get it on PS3 instead.

I remember back when ES was first announced on 360. All you Sony Defense force guys shrugged it off, saying it would never be a quality RPG and be nowhere near as close as FF XIII.

Now, it's a dream come true to you guys, and the greatest news since Wonder Bread would come sliced.

Got to love that Sony Defense flip-floping...

i bought this game about a week ago for €10, still haven't played it yet but i'm sure it will do better on the ps3 than the 360 mainly cos the japanesse hate the 360.

Ow:

Im not trying to make it sound like it...im just saying now that the 360 has FF13, there are going to be alot of PS3 owners that are going to switch to the 360.

that's the dumbest thing i ever heard,

is that waht happen in GTAIV

I dont think so,

the result is same if you compare, should GTAIV sold more because of a year ahead, but in result its same crap...

FF franchise is actually less popular than before,

And no it won't be multiple disc, GTAIV proved that already...

Although you never know because GTAIV graphic isn't that impressed, so thats why it can fit on Xbox 360 in one disc....

But whatever well see, when Sony Conference comes up,

It's probably be the best since they got so many exclusive to show...

Half of Xbox Show games was actually going for PS3, but with PS3, almost all of them is first party...

blacktiger: "It's probably be the best since they got so many exclusive to show..."

Are you f*cking kidding me? why do you defend a company that hates you? sony has nothing! they are probably going to show you more game play of Killzone 2..well they'll show you a movie and call it game play just like they did they the first time they showed it. they'll show you HOME...its not even a f*cking game! i dont see why your so excited for it. you'll see more on LittleBigPlant, the game that will be fun for about a month or so...and then they'll try and woo you with new stupid stuff for your wannabe dashboard.

blacktiger: "and no it won't be multiple disc, GTAIV proved that already..."

umm....

umm.... what? are you on crack? it's an entirely different game. There was no FMV whatsoever in GTAIV. All FF's games are ridiculous when it comes to FMV's. Thats what takes up the most space.

What did gta4 prove again?

@wow - why the **** would a ps3 owner switch to an xbox 360 because you can play FF13 on either system. Please....do tell.

Dudeman: Well for one, when switching to the 360 not only are you getting the better version of FF13, but your getting a better system, more games, a better online service..well your getting all around the better deal by ditching your paper weight/Blu-Ray player and switching to a better console.

how is it better version, explain that,

remember every review have said GTAIV is better version on PS3

blacktiger: why the hell are we talking about GTA4?! its not even the same game! and show me links saying "every review have said GTAIV is better version on PS3"

ign and gamespot have said its slightly better on PS3,

HOME

LITTLE BIG PLANET

RESISTANCE 2

SOCOM

SIREN:BLOOD CURSE

INFAMOUS

plus half of MS E3 Show which includes

RE5

FF13

Dead Space

Call of Duty 5

Fall out 3 ( i thought itwas for exclusviely to xbox 360 but its not, its also comming to ps3, check out at ign.com)

Chckl, GTAIV is a huge ass city, you know its bigger than any game right now...

But yea your right probably it wil be multiple disc for 360, But I dont think it matters to gamers but it will maters to MS because of their marketting...

Its so weird how both fanboys are crying which console is better...

If i can fast forward the time, then I would love to play gears of war 2 and resistance 2,

that will be the game of the year !!!!!!

The 360 can't have a better version of FF13. The xbox 360 is getting a PORT after the Japan PS3 version is 100% complete.. Also the PS3 is the lead development platform. As always...when this is the case the ps3 version is vastly superior.

Also the 360 is not the "better deal". It does not have builtin wireless and can't play high definition movies. If you add this capability to the 360 you will pay much more than the price of a top of the line ps3. Not to mention you will NEVER play a real true high definition movie on an xbox 360 since it can only play the inferior hddvd which is now obsolete.

ownage +1

and one more thing Chckl i agree with u hundred percent

I always hated FF franchise game except for FF7 !!!

Responses:

==Multiple Discs vs Multiple Installs==

Xbox 360 uses a 12x DVD drive that transfers data at a rate of 16MB per second. Playstation 3 uses a 2x Blu-ray drive that transfers data at a significantly slower rate of only 9MB per second. As a result, Playstation 3 load times are quite longer than Xbox 360 load times.

Industry insiders that I have spoken with are now pointing out that if Metal Gear Solid 4 is the PS3 "precedent" that will be used for Final Fantasy 13, then it will be MUCH BETTER to play Final Fantasy 13 on the Xbox 360!

Here's why:

* RPG Xbox 360 games such as Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey require that you swap discs very rarely. We know that Infinite Undiscovery is only going to be two discs, which means you will swap discs only after 40 hours of gameplay! Even if Final Fantasy 13 was on four discs, you would only need to swap discs once every 20 hours, on average.

* Final Fantasy 13 on the Playstation 3 is DEFINITELY a MUCH LESS DESIRABLE ENVIRONMENT! Look at Metal Gear Solid 4 as the reason why. Rather than taking 30 seconds to swap a discs every 20 hours, the Playstation 3 will require "installs" of 5 minutes, 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, ALL OVER THE PLACE!

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, the Xbox 360 has a BIG ADVANTAGE over the Playstation 3...even if the Xbox 360 is on Multiple Discs!

Krogan said it all...

"ownage +1" Back at'chya...

krogan said it all......wrong.
