dunno, they only have a tiny little section for games
had a look in the crappy argos and they're out of stock till tomorrow too.
tescoes, argos and asda are the only places remotely close that sell anything vaguely electronic that isn't old tv aerials from the early nineties for some reason we have about 50 of those shops :/
just registered my game as im waiting for my daughter whos very nearly asleep so i can play, and you get a code for a free item in FFVIX and its also a code to enter for the PS3 beta, not sure on how many places they are but im really looking forward to a decent console MMORPG hopefully ill get in 
and maybe even get on FFXIII before i have to go to work.
and maybe even get on FFXIII before i have to go to work.PS3 will look better in the cut scenes/pre rendered stuff as they are full uncompressed pre rendered in hd.
on the xbox they will be compressed.
And as it's an FF game the pre rendered stuff is going to be major
Really, I would be surprised to see that, got a link to a site saying the 360 verision looks better?
360 has a better GFX and the PS3 has a better CPU iirc.
"The Xbox360 "Xenos" GPU is not comparable to any desktop card. It has 48 unified shaders, tessellation support, and has 10MB of integrated eDRAM. In raw speed it's not as fast as the 8800GTX, but anything programmed for the Xbox360 will be much more optimized than a PC counterpart. The PS3's "RSX" is quite literally a 7900GT clocked to 550MHz with only 8 ROPs. While it would sound as if the PS3 would be at a disadvantage graphically, this is not the case when used correctly as the Cell is very capable of taking on rendering tasks as well, almost like a second GPU."

- Bigger box!
I really hope this toughens up... a lot!!
Just got called out of the room, left the game in the middle of a battle by mistake and when I cam back my mate had won the battle alone, meaning I hadn't pressed a button and still made it through. Of course I got full HP back too!!!
It looks amazing, and I clearly haven't reached the part where I have more options that 'attack' or 'blitz', or have control of more than one character, but still, I was expecting some kind of challenge....

That doesn't mean the GFX in game will be any better.
It all depends which the engine was designed for and which it was ported to.
Which is why a lot of people will say uncharted 2 is the best looking game on the consoles.
but tbh the only major difference will be the FMV's and perendered stuff.

This sounds very tempting I havent played a FF game since 7 on the PS1, which was epic! I even bred a gold Chocobo!

Well few hours in and i love everything about itThou im not finding Vanellie annoying like most sites reported maybe i have a high annoycence threshold lol
Really I love Vanellie
she is so dappy its unreal.Its Hope I cannot stand !
He is the most annoying char everI understand that, but what I read in this thread is that the 360 version is running at a lower resolution than the PS3 version
Basically that's not relevant here. The only way to tell which runs/looks better is to test it in controlled conditions like digital foundry do. In this case the ps3 version definitely looks better. For other games it is the other way round - you have to compare on a game by game basis although multiplat games have generally run better on the 360 for various reasons.
