Can we get free gaming everywhere now too? I'd vote for free games for everyone!

They made a deal, a deal benefits both sides, so is not that they "buy" an exclusive. A deal can be something like, instead of Sony on keeping the 20% of the winnings of a game, they keep just 10%, something like that.

So what you're saying is... they bribed them?
 
WTF there's not going to be a new Resident Evil game...don't get my hopes up! Capcom is going to milk the RE5 engine for a bit and RE6 wont be out for another 4 to 5 years.

Isn't Shinji Mikami the same guy who said he would cut off his own head if Resident Evil 4 went to any other platform other than the GameCube?
Wiki:
Shinji Mikami touted the game as a GameCube exclusive. In an interview with a Japanese magazine, Mikami even said that he would "commit harakiri" if it came out on another platform.[1] This was loosely translated as Mikami claiming to "cut [his own] head off" and later parodied in God Hand, which featured a racing dog named "Mikami's Head".
 
I'm really excited for Sony's E3 this year since they've shown dick all at DICE and GDC. Hopefully they're saving up some good announcements. As for the exclusivity deal? A little late in the game for Sony to be doing this now, me thinks. For sport I'll guess its GearsofWar on PS3. Not GoW3 exclusive on PS3 per say, more likely a special edition of 1 and/or 2.

Isn't the example an announcement of when they lost a previously PS only console franchise? Maybe they'll announce that MGS4 was a timed exclusive :D

You really think they'd port MGS4 two years later?

Konami sure would like that. Especially as a warming up for Rising. If it's being outsourced I'm sure Kojima wouldn't care either. The world probably doesn't even care at this point. Fanboys are a whole other story.
 
I wonder if this is Toy Story 3 (making GTA:SA was the worst possible example to give).

Or if this is just more pre-E3 bullshit.
 
Timed exclusivity is a joke. Either go the distance or dont bother. If its timed than you can count on it not taking full advantage of the PS3 hardware because they have to think of the 360 later down the line. Timed exclusive does not do anything but piss gamers off. This is coming from somebody that owns all 3 consoles.
 
Will probably be something stupid like Pro Evo Ps3 version having two extra arena's, or something like that.
 
Here is another quality Jack Tretton quote on exclusives:

"I think Microsoft has spent the majority of their money on trying to curry favor with third parties," he said. "I think software companies look and say, 'There's no check big enough for us to do exclusive development.' I think it's going to be harder and harder to have third-party exclusives as we move forward"
 
I don't know what's more amusing, the random exclusive game ideas people have in this thread or OJG's hardon for hate on SCE execs/PlayStation. :lol :lol :lol
 
I don't understand why people actually believe a 'insider' , everybody can say such things...

GUYS I KNOW SOMEONE AT SONY, EXPECT AN ACTUAL GT5 RELEASE DATE!!!11
