XI plays on the PS3 only if you have an early release of the console due to backwards compatibility, not because of a 'hack'. And I swear I thought this argument about 'console limitations' had died in a fire. They aren't going to be dropping PS3 support anytime soon, if at all, just like how they haven't dropped PS2 support nn XI in the last 12 years. If it wasn't for Adoulin I'd still be playing the PS2 version (admittedly, on my PS3). I honestly don't get all the hate over having a multiple version game like XI or XIV.
