Aren't You Tired of Ruining Everything?

When Final Fantasy XIII was first announced, it was a PS3 exclusive title. Last year Square Enix announced that they would be developing the game for Xbox360 as well. Now, it is well documented that the Xbox falls short in certain technical respects when compared to the PS3, one of the key areas being storage. The PS3, with a Blu-ray player, can store about 50GB of data on a single disk. The Xbox, with a DVD player, can store about 9GB.

Recently, this story came out regarding Square dropping quite a bit of content that was originally slated to be in the PS3 version of the game in order to make it work on the Xbox360 (presumably because to keep it in would mean shipping the game on about 5 DVD's). Now, I ask, if you are a fan of the Final Fantasy series, and you own a PS3, what do you think about that?

How art thou a pain in the ass? Let me count the ways...

I recently received an email telling me that my XBOX Live! account was going to be automatically renewed. Since I didn't remember activating automatic renewal when I originally purchased the subscription, it came as news to me. When I went to the XBOX Live! site in an effort to cancel the automatic renewal, surprise turned to anger as, first of all, the area to which one must navigate in order to cancel the subscription was deliberately hard to find and, secondly, I was subjected to page after page of "are you sure you want to do this?"

The PSN is free.

That is all.
