Ha! Hahahaha. Sorry, please excuse my laughter—I just find it hilarious that the advertising agency employed by Microsoft thought they could get away with showing PS3 Final Fantasy XIII scenes. "Wot, it's the same game, innit?"

Sparked by an eagle-eyed British viewer, who dobbed in the commercial to the Advertising Standards Authority, the commercial was swiftly yanked following a comparison of gameplay between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.

The ASA commented that "we noted that there was a discernible difference in the picture quality of the two—the PS3 image in video sequences appeared sharper and colors were more vivid than those of the Xxbox 360."

Due to the potentially misleading nature of the ad, it was pulled from telly and won't be given the light of day again. Much like that advertising agency, I imagine.

Did the ad show footage of FF13 bricking a PS3?

How many other people could really tell the difference with barely 30 seconds of footage?

Ah well, I have this game on PS3 (didn't want to have multiple discs on my 360) and I've yet to finish it. I'd say FF13 is average at best. Not good, not bad.

Ditto here. It's a good game, but really did not live up to the hype.

Also, not sure why this came out now - the game has been out for 5 months now?

I was wondering the same thing. I can't even remember the last time I saw an ad for FF13 that was after it launched.

I just started playing it and the characters seem mediocre. There's the perma-PMSing main character lead, the tall douchey pedobear, the retarded girl, the emo-kid, and token black guy.

So pretty much just like every Final Fantasy game, right?

Maybe they're still playing in the UK?

Sounds more like 95% of JRPGs as a whole...
