[Cease and Desist] is coming to the Xbox 360! [Updated for Internet Matlockery]

[Cease and Desist] is coming to the Xbox 360! [Updated for Internet Matlockery] photo
     Jack Thompson

I have been waiting for many months to finally say this, and today is the day. [Cease and Desist] will not be a [Rhymes with "Bony"] exclusive. It has been confirmed that it will make its way to the [Another console] in 2008.

There is no true date set for the release at this point, but November of 2008 has been mentioned. This is not set in stone as [Who knew legal departments worked on holidays, and that a game with no embargo, could make them work so fast

If one were really smart they could search around and find contracts that bind, lets say, a game developer and publisher, to another company that makes consoles. If you were lucky, you might notice that the contract had a clearly stated term of exclusivity. If I were a betting man, I would guess that term to be more than 364 days and less than 367. (Precaution for Leap year) I am just guessing this of course. I assume that companies make contracts like this and they have to become public record when financial transactions are involved. Call me crazy, but I would bet that you could find out things by checking this.

I also need to state that the phone conversation I had discussing, let's say, Petal Rear Squalid Door apparently didn't actually happen. I thought that it did but other people seem to be telling me different.

[Editor's note: The opinions expressed about [another company] and the [Console they make] belong to Ron Workman and Ron Workman only. He's a loose cannon and a PR nightmare.]

Dear Internet Matlocks,

You cracked the case; good work. I understand that going to every [Logging] industry event, [----edited----], speaking to someone at [insert company here] and knowing this has been in the works for months, could not possibly make me as qualified as the forum post you made from your

A. Dorm room

B. Mom's basement

C. Cell block

2
We all know that [another company] would never give up an exclusive. I mean what's next? [insert 3 games that were lost and we were lied to about] Nooo waaay! They would never lose an exclusive. Every [3 letters] game was a [another company] exclusive at one point. I can't imagine them coming out with [3 letters] on another console. I mean ... they have never done that have they?

Next time I am with [Peter Parker], [Madonna], or [Phil Collins] in person, I will be sure to remind them to approve things through you, Internet Matlocks, before they make any decisions.

2 things:

#1 The "Snake Tales" was a joke BTW.

#2 I decided to be nice and respectfully make changes to this post. I did refuse to pull it completely because our community is more important to me. Hypothetically, this would be my first lawsuit of 2007. I was hoping to make it a full year but it looks bleak. I hope you enjoyed it.

Hugs and Kisses,

Greybush™

Wow, it actually happened. Though the PS3 still has a bunch of other exclusives down the pipe that would easily justify a purchase, I know MGS4 was the deciding game for quite a few people. I don't think it will make too big a difference in the long run though.

www.ps3fanboy.com has a story on it now. Apparently the story is coming from some forums and it is based on a translation from a small, independent Swedish magazine. There are no quotes from Konami or Kojima's developers.

It's from an Xbox Forum post.

I'm still calling bogus, because Super Play has no sourcing behind it, and IndianHustler has a very valid point. Towards the bottom.

IGN.com - March 5, 2003
At the end of 2001, one of the biggest titles to be released for any of the current generation consoles was Metal Gear Solid 2. As the follow up to the blockbuster smash hit PSX title Metal Gear Solid, it went on to sell extremely well and be played by many PS2 fans. However, sole owners of GameCube and Xbox would have to do without it. Fortunately, Konami wasn't completely blind to the fact that more gamers deserved to play the epic title, and it released Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for the Xbox a year later in November 2002. This came with new content additions including VR missions and other bonus gameplay like Snake Tales, which lets you go on more objective-based missions -- some quite lengthy. So, there's no question that Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance comes packed with more content than the original MGS2 on PS2.

All i got to say is that this(if true mind you) will be my determining factor in buying a 360 instead of a ps3. although im hoping that the Wii does get some MGS love.

Well, I think this WOULD be a big D-Toid exclusive if it were posted with some actual confirmation. I don't doubt its veracity in the least (I've always expected it to be a timed exclusive thanks to the strange wording Konami always used when talking about it being "excllusive"), but come on. You could AT LEAST post HOW you found out the info in the main post.

I mean, this post could have come months ago and seemed just as true since it has no sources sited. I know you're eager to laugh in the face of Sony (why you'd be eager to see a good company fail, I do no know), but you could at least TRY to make it seem like a NEWS post and not a fanboy rant.


Oh, and by the way, as much as I'm annoyed by the fact that all of your posts start with "Look, I drink," the lack of it here actually makes it feel LESS official. Is it really YOU typing?! How are we supposed to know someone hasn't hacked your name and used it to make this post?

That's what I thought...

I called bullshit when they said there was gona be a Wii version, I love the system but it is just not powerful enough.

That 07 article showing the swap put the nail in the coffin.

I don't think they said Wii version, but a wii MGS game. Personally I'd love to see a Raiden Ninja game on the wii, with good controls that could be pretty crazy.
