    okay let me start by saying that I have both a 360 and PS3, and this question is mostly for people who have both consoles and don't have the game.  
     
    I think this game looks really awesome, and if it was on XBLA I would have bought it the day it came out, but since it's only on the PS3 I don't have it.  I don't like playing mulitplayer games in general on the PS3 because nobody has mics or talks, and with a game like fat princess strategy and communication is really important, and while with party chat now on Live it might not have as many people talking, it's still a lot better than anything on PSN.  Also I don't have any real friends on my friends list on PS3, in fact the people on my PS3 friends list are all from Giantbomb, because I put my name in the thread for PSN names, and I've never even played with any of them.  All my friends are on Xbox Live, none have a PS3.
     
    So is the only reason anyone else isn't buying this game because it's only on PS3?

    I have both systems and if this game came to 360, I would easily get it.

    Well I bought it on PSN and played it about 15 times then got bored. Havent been back to it since.  With hindsight I would not have paid for the game.
     
    You are 100% right about the no mics / no one talking part though. Maybe thats why I kinda disliked it. (that and BOTS)

    Yeah they really need to fix this and include a damn mic with the system.
    I remember when I bought the PS3 a few weeks after launch and dispite the "extras" like WiFi .. they forgot a simple cheap working mic ^^
    Cost me £425 and no mic ^^ Hell, at the time that was the equivalent to $850 !! and no mic?
    $599? I wish it was that cheap.

    No, because I could already get it on my PS3. I', sure people who have 360 only would though.

    @LiquidPrince:  Yeah, but that's the point.  Even though I could get it on my PS3 I don't want to, because I don't like the experience I get playing multiplayer games on the PS3.

    Obviously if someone has a PS3 already and like the game its assumed they would have it already and wouldn't purchase it twice....if you don't though, that's what this thread is for.

    Probably not. Maybe if I played a demo and really liked it, but it's not particularly a game I'm interested in.

    @ArchScabby: I prefer it. I always get amazing connection and rarely do I play a game where it has server issues, although that's out of my hands. Plus it's a free service.

    I too own both PS3 and X360. I have no interest in buying the game on PS3 but I would if it was on 360 for the exact same reasons. Nobody talks and more freinds (all) on xlive. The only reason I bought a PS3 was for MGS4 and I have no reason to play on PSN when XLive is so much better, however the game that may change my mind on this is Uncharted 2. It's looking solid.

    i would think about it, but in the end no i wouldn't. I refuse to buy marked up microsoft points when i could just as easily use my credit card. Now if they make a PC version that i can get on steam i would buy it in a heart beat.

    You know, it honestly only takes one post on a message board like this to end up with a full list of friends on your PS3 that all have mics. Seriously, it required barely any effort on my part, and my friends list is now almost full of people with mics, that all play the same games i do.
     
    So yeah... I disagree with the "no mic" stigma that people keep attaching to the PS3.

    No, because I already picked it up for my PS3.  I like the game and it suits me tastes and skill level.

    Yes I would love to see this game on XBL, and if the price was fair, I'd buy it straight away.

    Yes. With Castle Crashers going to PSN maybe we do have a chance of Fat Princess coming to XBL, but I don't know if Sony has owns the studio, or bought any exclusive deals or anything. I haven't looked into it much.

    If it had came out for both,  I would of gotten it for the 360 because everyone would have mic's.

    These mics are SO over rated. yes they handy for these situations where team work is key. But I have one and rarely use it because most of the time there is no need.  Even when I play cod4 on the 360 half the time I don't bother putting my mic in and I usually end up at the beginning of the game muting ever one because no one says anything useful over mics it's shitting music or someone yelling or someone saying "Fuck you, you n****r F*g". So you guys are putting way to much faith in the community that if they were givin mics that it would make the game better. Honestly I suspect that there would be no significant inprovment if the ps3 came with a mic.

    a bit late to the party but, I'd rather get it on XBLA if the choice was there,  it pretty much comes down to mics like everyone else.

    No, Hind sight showed me its not a worthwhile purchase, the tactics are inane with rushing being the most affective tactic and it just wasn't worth the money.

    Unlikely, I'd probably have a PS3 and this game before an XBLA port was announced (zero chance of this, though).

    Sure. Although in the next few months I'll probably be getting a PS3 Slim to finish my trifecta.

    Yeah they are some real dicks on xbox live. I started noticing this when Halo 3 came out, I dont play that much mulitplayer anymore. Also I dont even use a mic because everyone else in my house comes in and are like "what the fuck are you doing"

    Yeah same that is why I like on the official ps3 headset is the quick mute button for those times when people come in, That instead of ripping the wire out of the controller.

    I have it, and like it, but more of my friends own 360s and I'm sure I could get them to play, which with a party chat would be a blast.  It's well past time for Sony to introduce something like that, since random voice chat is more an annoyance than anything - I almost always disable it right off the bat.

    No, because the game is mostly online and I do not have a Gold account.
