If that's what PS3 owners have to look forward to then I pity them! Saints Row blows.

rubbish, saints row is good in its own right, i wonder if they will fix the framerate and popup issues
I look forward to playing it as I love all these third person free roaming games - non of them are a patch of GTA so far though.
It's innevitable that most games will go multi as the market share evens up - the only reason a game like this was exclusive in the first place is because the 360 was the only platform available for it (not including PC).

It's not a bad game. Some of the level 8 activities are a pita but then if you're not bothered about the achievements it doesn't matter!
As long as ports are handled well I see nothing wrong with games going multiplatform. The more people that play the best games (SR not included) the better.
To answer msmalls74; more titles going multiplatform will always hurt the more expensive console if there is no discernable difference.

I for one think Saints Row is an awesome game. Too many people overlook it just saying "It's a GTA rip off"
Some things it takes from GTA, you can;t really make this type of game and not take things from GTA. There are many aspects which aren't as good, but a lot of things which it took from GTA and improved on.
I think this is great for the PS3, something to tide people over until GTA4

msmalls74 said:Well as it seems if a PS3 exclusive becomes multi format its big news and means the end of Sony ( the second biggest consumer electronics manufacturer in the world).
The point is that Saints Row is old news, and was hardly a great game.
When something like Assassins Creed or UT3 gets announced as multiplatofrm, then that is big news.
Due to the cost of each development cycle increasing dramatically ( if the press releases from the developers are to be believed, rather than just excuses for higher street prices) I think apart from the manufacturer backed / owned dev studios every independent game will get a cross platform release in one guise or another
It just depends on the studio whether they just do a basic copy and paste (ok maybe a little too literal but you get the idea) or they actually try and get the most out of the different techniques available on the other console.

Best game I have played on the 360 to date and that includes most of the AAA titles. But then I guess I have a slightly different opinion on a lot of stuff, to me GOW was boring, univolving and badly written, COD3 was just a COD2 rehash and PGR3 bored me to tears.. hey ho.
