As far as I know, this was already confirmed on here ages ago... Which means its not a rumor either.
In my opinion FFXIII should stay on the PS3. It's great that the game is coming out for both PS3 and Xbox360, but I believe it was made for the PS3 and should be bought for the PS3, if you have one.
I've also got absolutely no complaints about installs, as long as it's one install taking place before I start playing. When the installs come up constantly ala MGS4, then I get tired of it.

By the time FFXIII is released I'll have a PS3 but so far, unless it comes with a hundred and eighty disc, I'm still planing on getting the 360 version.
A big reason is because I want to support Square's decision to bring FF to the 360 in hopes that we'll see more big AAA Japanese titles that have been traditionally console exclusive to go multiplatform.
Call me a whiner, and I'm getting a PS3 so it's not even like this is a big deal to me personally, but I'm still bummed MGS4 never got ported to the 360. Rising is great and all but still.
Anyways unless they butcher it somehow (and here come the naysayers claiming it's a port so they will) I'm getting it for the 360.

Wasn't there already something about this?

as an owner of both the 360 and PS3, I'm going to be buying FFXIII for the PS3 just on the notion that it feels right. I don't mind load times, multidiscs, instillation, I'm just going on "Hey, I've played FF on playstation most of my life, might as well continue"
The PS3 version is on one disc, the 360 version is on three. When it came to which console I would buy Final Fantasy XIII for, that was the deciding factor.
Not because I'm lazy, but because so far this generation Microsoft has proven how much they suck at packaging multi-disc games. See the US versions of Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey if you need proof of how much multi-disc packaging on 360 sucks.

So people have finally learned how to get data streaming from a bluray right. Took long enough, but IMO, installs are a good thing. Lower load times can only be seen as a good thing, even if it has a small price on hdd space.
Hell, I install all my 360 games, and I don't have to.

If I had both consoles and wanted this game, I'd be inclined to go for the PS3 version since it ought to be superior on the Sonybox.
Mandatory installs suck, I have various memories of trying to play games on PS3 only to be greeted with a long-ass wait (GTA4 in mind).

I own both consoles and mainly buy PS3 games because of my 360s 12gb hard drive and the fact I have to install every game I want to play and delete the last game I played. I bought MW2 for the 360 because I know the online play is much better and it will probably be staying in my 360 for a quite a long time while I play new single player games on the PS3.
I refuse to play any game on my 360 without a full HDD installation, and I take to option to install wherever possible on PS3.
Optical drives are far more prone to wear and breakage than HDDs. They make more noise. They are more likely to result in loading issues than an HDD.
I am getting FFXIII for the PS3 and I just hope this is not a concession for the 360 port that will detriment the way the game runs...

Yeah the 20GB HDDs are really not keeping up in this age of installs. My friend had a knackered optical drive and had to install everything, fault was covered by any guarentees and he had to get a new 360.
I'm definitely getting this for the 360 because I hate my PS3.
Plus I'd prefer achievements over trophies.
And installs? I'll install every single disc to my beautiful 250GB hard drive for my 360.

I'm definitely getting it for the ps3 next month. but for the NA release, I might just wind up getting both the ps3 and 360 versions. But the 360 version would ONLY be for achievements.
My 360 scratched my Lost Odyssey CD1, I'm never buying multi-disk games for 360 again. I'm prolly going to import Jap version of FF13 and play both NA and JPN version at the same time so I can get the Japanese voice...
PS3 FTW! Not that it would suck on the 360, its just that its a game that was made for the PS3 and like any other game, it should be better on its primary console
I want to know if the PS3 version will include the Japanese voices. I know Sqeenix said the 360 version probably wouldn't due to space issues, and that they might leave the option out of the PS3 version to be fair (to which I say, screw fair).
Doesn't the 360 version still have multiple disks?
Therefore they could fit the 1080p movies and lossless audio on those.

Not having a PS3 being a poor college student, the only thing that'll hold me back from buying the 360 version will be if it's a significantly inferior port.
I prefer installing games... I install all of my games on 360 too. I hope this at least has an *optional* install. Fuck load times.
I own both and so far the only deciding factor for me is which it'll cost more on at release (since retailers usually discount one over the other), if however the 360 version lacks these features then yes - I'll be picking it up on PS3.
well Naughty Dog were able to pull off a no install and loading was virtually nonexistant except for when you initially boot the game.
Provided that both games are pretty much identical (including load times), I'll pretty much be buying it on PS3 to avoid disc swapping. It's not a huge issue, but I think I can get over my normal 360 preference for one game.
I'll also have a PS3 before FFXIII comes out, but the achievement whore in me insists that I get all multi-plats on 360. I know it's basically a meangless number, but my friends and I are pretty competitive about our gamerscores.
I also have most of my games installed on my Xbox. It really helps shorten the load times in games like Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect. More than likely I'll do the same thing with my PS3.

What TheCleaningGuy said! FF12 voices may have been better than FF10, but I've still learned my lesson! Bring on the original Japanese voice overs!
I've yet to see the difference in loading between an installed PS3 game and an uninstalled 360 game. So damn good on Square for doing the work themselves and making load times normal.
I don't give a shit if it is 200 DVD's i'm installing it anyway. I want it to run as smoothe as it gets.
I'm going to be getting it for the PS3 either way mainly because it is the development console and the game will presumably run the way the developer intended it to on the PS3. There is no guarantee that it will run as smoothly or look as nice on the 360 port. I don't care for achievements or trophies and I grew up as a PC gamer so I'm more then used to installing games so neither of those are really a factor in my decision.
Seeing as how I only have a PS3...........I will be installing this no matter what. Everygame with an optional install gets installed on my PS3.
MGS4 was a let down install wise as sure there was no manditory install but sitting through 4-5, 3-6 minute long install screens got old VERY fast.

PS3 for sure. These games that I put over 40 hours into have a better chance of bricking my 360. Plus it was developed for the ps3, therefore the 360 version will be a port (Probably a really good one. 360 is developer friendly). I'll save my 360 for exclusives and games like Bayonetta that have horrid ps3 ports.
Yeah, totally a PS3 purchase for me, because I don't need more discs floating around. I hope there's some kind of optional install too.
As for the voice thing, I definitely prefer the english voices to the japanese ones. The japanese girls are just so irritating.

I feel I should pick it up on my PS3, considering it was one of the reasons I went ahead and dropped 600 bucks on one, but the Achievement Whore within is telling me to wait and see what the cheevos are like before deciding for sure.
If they're hard or require tons of time, I'll probably just play it on the PS3. Playing it on an American console feels strangely dirty and wrong.

I have a PS3 and an Xbox.
PS3 version for me definitely.
Largely because
1. PS3 is lead development platform.
2. Blu-ray > DVD9
3. The PS3 is a better console.
4. Sony and FF seems right.
5. I get all my multi platform games on PS3.
I'll probably get FF13 on Xbox too, but only because I'm a FF collector and there would by a turd if it had the FF logo on it. (Hell, I did, FFX-2)

I'll get the PS3 version, but only because I made a rule of multiplayer games go on 360 and single-player on PS3. Also, I tend to use D-Pads for scrolling through menus, and the 360 D-Pad is shit.
I,d get the PS3 version for the same reason i,d get a 360 version for bayonetta: They were developed on these consoles and later ported to a second platform, also, i don't think i ever saw a porting to a similar platform that got better than the original
Unless there is a consensus on one version having a notable advantage over the other, I'll probably go for the 360 version....for...no real reason. I like my 360. I also like my PS3. Honestly, whichever version looks like it'll sell better, I'll buy it for the other.
I have both consoles and if a game comes out for the two, I always get the PS3 version. I'm not a Sony fanboy, but I have always preferred their products over Microsoft's. Plus, I never know when my 360 is going to have its third sets of red rings, so I try to postpone that by not playing it. Pretty sad, if you ask me.
