Bigworld is also being planned for port to GCN, and PS3 (when it comes out). Forté has no intention of making it Microsoft-only, they'd lose money that way.

The bad news: It's most likely, if that's true, coming for Xbox first and you don't have to pay for a whole new console (ps3), although if gamecube does get it then they arn't too bad. I also think it's quite funny that they started a ps3 only 2-3 years after ps2 came out. Also, there are allot of people who own Xbox live, so I don't think they'd lose a whole lot of money for making it xbox and pc only.

Yes, but they'd make more releasing it for GCN, and PS3.

Microsoft has the money to sign them. Making it worth thier while.

Yes, but they've already said they're not signing with one game company. I'd dig up the site, but I'm about to head out, do a Google search, you should find it.

Actually, I own an X-Box, a PS2, and a GCN (all bought with my own money from my summer job). I'm not biased towards any of them, though I haven't played much of the PS2 or X-Box since I got Zelda:OoT's remake, but I do plan on getting Bigworld for the X-Box.

It depends how many people play the game cube and would also be willing to get something to make their ps3 online, if it needs anything extra, and be able to dish out more money to get a ps3 and the game, considering not everyone has jobs to get a ps3. I doubt there are more people who have gamecube online or playstation online than people that have xbox online.

PS3 has built-in online support, and it also allows you to download game demos onto a CD, or a seperate hard-drive unit.

Well, that is cool, although the newer xbox's also have the online into it, it just needs a game to activate it, the thing is does it require a account?

Yep, but it's free, all you have to do is send in a form what comes with the system, and they'll set you up, this insures you're unique in the games you play.

Ahhh!! X-Box siaxs for us 56kers!
I don't like X-Box anyways.. it's too 'bleh'. Not enough good games in my opinion. But oh well.

From what I've heard, the PS3 will be so powerfull it can be a household server. Something about really small processor, and very, very powerfull, equivalent to, and i think this is what i heard, 1000 pentium 4's.

You heard wrong, but you got one fact right, it will be very very powerful. It can operate at the same speed of 40 Pentium 4's! Its features are nearly unlimited, as you play movie-like games! The downside is, the console will cost around $600! God.. I wonder how much the games will be...

I never know how people manage to play multiplayer games with 56k.

There are plenty of good games out now and coming out, Xbox just doesn't advertise as much as Playstation.

Who wouldn't have put the facts together, all this marvelous stuff they've been saying, and not have known it would cost a unholy amount?
