Oh my god...oh..ow...my side...I don't own a 360 or a PS3, but I eagerly await the stuff that will probably happen soon.

Pretty dumb move considering the minuscule difference in quality; 99% of people wouldn't have known either way.
I LOLed.
But seriously they're not allowed to do this, but Microshaft can slap a big Xbox logo and "available on Xbox 360" on the end of almost EVERY FUCKING MULTIPLAT advert over here?
It clearly misleads the uninformed, but is fair play because of the wording???
The ASA is picky about what they pull up it seems.

Yes it is what it is but to be honest this game kind of sucked anyways so I'm pretty sure that it's no big loss.
@SexualChocolate
The few UbiSoft ads I've seen for muli-platform games usually have the "Available for PS3" at the end, only showing the Sony box arts and the PS3.
I guess it's just the highest bidder on these ads.

Well jeez, Sony! I mean, if you're going to use crooked advertising ploys, could you at least use it for a good game? BA ZING!
@Hasney - What Country are you in?
Here in the UK, (admittedly i watch very little TV) I see either "Available on Xbox360" with big green and white logo after the advert or, RARELY I see the stack of multiplat cases at the end, or the Xbox and PS3 cases next to each other.
Unless of course it's a PS3 exclusive.
Hell MS are real big fans of putting out "ONLY on Xbox 360" ads while their TIMED exclusivity is in place.
Timed Exclusive is something I really have a problem with.

Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 have frequently had commercials only shown with the PS3. But this is silly. On the otherhand, I'm playing Final Fantasy XII again and realizing that they only place SE could go was down after such a brilliant/perfect game.
@Sexchoco
There's no problem with that, they aren't lying.
The game is available on 360, It doesn't say only 360. It's to try and get you to buy the 360 one.
Kind of like the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood adverts that say on PS3, they don't say only on PS3.
The problem is they said the Footage was 360 when it was PS3. That's lying and false advertisement. 2 different things.

I like FFXIII, but you're right about FFXII being brilliant/perfect. It's probably my third fav FF after VI and IV. I've been trying to find time for another playthrough, it's a shame that I've only been through it once

@SexualChocolate
UK and I think it is only UbiSoft that have an arrangement with Sony so far, but as Malik mentioned, Assassins Creed 1 & 2 had them quite a lot when they were released.

This is the longest stream of comments about a console fight ever without some unleashing their console of choice and letting the opinions fall all over the keyboard.
So they advertise the hell out of the 360 version using the PS3 version footage, oh the irony.
Also false advertising, and a bit of a dick move.

Of course they did. The cutscenes in the 360 version had some pretty bad artifacting at times. I still chose the 360 version over PS3 though...
@You guiz
Cool, I haven't personally seen any ads for Assasin's creed, so that may be where my opinion is skewed. i have seen LOADS of adverts that end with the Xbox logo though, mostly for multiplat games.
i think it's wrong no matter which company does it. From what i've personally seen MS does it a LOT more than sony, and certainly was doing it a long time before Sony was - I'm not surprised they started doing it after watching MS do it for so long!
But my opinion on the whole "Available on..." thing still stands, for both companies. It's wrong, it's misleading, may not be lying, but is certainly misleading. I think Gaming advertising needs to be looked at and rules to be set, it wouldn't be hard to ensure that any game shown in an advert had a line of text across the bottom outlining which platforms it was available on or even "Available on multiple platforms" just in text at the bottom of the advert, just like the "not actual gameplay" disclaimer.
It creates situations where uninformed kids in playgrounds and uninformed parents can make console purchases/requests based on what "looks like" an exclusive game due to a misleading advert.
while not technically "lying" it's intentionally misleading and that's wrong.

I thought this was pretty common for multi-platform games? You always want to put your best foot forward. Take the Harry Potter franchise. I'm pretty sure that EA is going to show the PS3 footage over the Wii footage for adverts.
@ Rhuno trust me if you played the 360 version you'll notice the cutscenes look like somebody took a video camera and taped the ps3 version. I noticed they weren't sharp immediately. It looks blurry and watered down.
who cares? And most of you just bahs this game endlessly anyway. console wars are over, just play the damn games already
PS3 Superiority = CONFIRMED.
In all seriousness, I could care less. I own a 360, but don't hate my PS3 brethren. We're all gamers.
But you totally know those comments are coming...

@SexualChocolate Most of the PS3 ads do the same thing. They make it sound like it's only on PS3. Nothing wrong with it, unless they say "Only on Playstation 3".
Square Enix are stupid for doing this. The 360 version doesn't look much worse. You probably can't tell the different, if you're watching the ad on a SD channel.
I remember EA got screwed over, after they put 360/PS3 footage in the Tiger Woods Wii ad.

@ sexual chocalate how is it misleading when most ppl know well before the game comes out that it is available on both systems. A couple years ago I saw a madden commercial with the PS logo then some years its the 360 logo. Most uninformed playground kids and parents aren't playin final fantasy and game thses apply to. Even then all you have to do is call a game retailer and ask if you care that much.
Well then, in case there is any debate we can now point to B.A.S.S. vs SquareEnix as proof that the PS3 is better than the 360. Even if SE looses, SE wins.
@Zeyro
"HHahah that's right 360 can go suck his own dick an it looks like they are suckingPS3 as well."
Who is sucking who?

...I doubt any Xbox fanbois (myself being one) think that the Xbox is the technologically superior console. We still have better games, and any game we dont have, we take from Sony *cough**Final Fantasy**cough*
So it seems those comments never came
@ Zombie killer - Speak the words of wisdom!
Honestly, what I'm upset about, is them wasting there time with this. How can an organization determine the difference in sharpness and color and that it is significant enough to warrant this "ruling" waste of time and money if you ask me...

I haven't seen the ads themselves, but I'm having a hard time understanding why this would be seen as fraudulent. I mean, it's a multiplatform game, so why wouldn't Square Enix want to show their best version in the commercial? Unless the ad itself shows an Xbox 360 logo over the top of PS3 gameplay or says "this is footage from the 360 version" or something, I fail to see how this is misleading.
(Like I said, I haven't seen the ads, so if it is EXPLICIT that the game in the commercial is being advertised as the 360 version, I take that all back.)
Semi-related, how does the law work for something like the new Resistance 3 ad or any of the Halo live action shorts? (The ones that mix enemies from the game with real actors in live-action scenes.) Unless the ad explicitly states "not actual gameplay" (which the Resistance one doesn't, not sure about the Halo ones), wouldn't that be considered misleading as well?

Is it just me? Or should game ads in general be considered fraudulent for showing cutscene footage instead of gameplay footage?
@ Mrandydixon - they do state "not actual gameplay" when its cutscenes or CG, I noticed it with Mass Effect 2 and Mario Galaxy 2, while RDR was pretty much PS3 ads here, if a game is multiplatform, then its mainly PS3 that gets the ads.
But as an informed gamer I know if its multiplat and therefore dont give two tugs of a dead dogs cock which system is advertised at the end :-)

@killah2010: Because someone DID spot it, but it took all this time to get the ruling through.
@Rhuno: MS forgot they're dealing with geeks here... as they say, THE TRUTH WILL OUT.

... with all the "internet detectives" out there in the gaming world, did they honestly expect that this wouldn't eventually get noticed??
I have to say, aside from the wonder of Kirby, the "stuff" I mentioned in the 1st comment isn't as good as I hoped for.
