PlayStation 3 version: Why Bother?

I was talking more about the other small things like costumes, the fact is it's there, and SE is perfectly able to put anything they want on PS store, including expansions for ARR.

Well, first off, I only replied to make that note, not to disturb whatever rant you were on.

Anyways, it has to be approved by Sony. They can't just put on whatever they want on PSN, it doesn't work like that. Secondly, the quote you replied to said nothing of DLC. So how does DLC equate into them putting full-budget current-gen FF games on PSN, as was quoted? It doesn't.

A LOT of DLC is included on Discs already, thats why a lot of them are only 100kb. They are just activation files. Don't get me wrong, plenty of full fledged add-on dlc for games too.

I'm just not sure why people are talking about expansions already. Shit's not even out yet. And I think anyone who has a PS3 and uses PSN would know full well that they can release expansions over PSN. So I'm confused what you two are even arguing about.

Edit: Just want to note, a lot of people are saying about 70 million PS3 users. This number is in no way accurate. A lot of the original model ps3s are dieing. more everyday. These are counted into the PS3's "online" community because their console id is registered on psn/sony enetertainment network. I have 3 dead ones on my account as i speak.

So while the 70 million is probably pretty damn accurate for ps3s sold, I'd wager its way less than that online. 70 million ppl, x 20-30kb for a slow ass psn connection... thats a shit load of bandwidth, even at half the users.

It's about as accurate as WoW having 12 million active subscribers. I'm sure they were talking about raw sales numbers in regards to the PS3.

Afaik, WoW only has that many during expansion releases. not at all times. so that figure isnt exact either probably.
