There is something uniquely satisfying in watching a magazine like Vanity Fair, one with so much money and history behind it, absolutely shoot themselves in the foot with the wrong group of people. It is satisfying, but entirely infuriating, to watch so-called “traditional” media botch coverage of things like internet culture, video games, or really just technology in general. You would think newspapers or magazines would just get it at some point.

According to a website that has pictures of pages from a Japanese gaming magazine, and I really can’t think of a more reliable source than that, Dissidia: Final Fantasy may be finding its way to the PS3 and Xbox 360 in the future. While there is currently no announcement or proof of this anywhere on the internet outside of these scans, it isn’t entirely out of the realm of reasoning considering Super Androgyny Bros would probably make big ole bags of gil with an online multiplayer function. Being able to bash Final Fantasy characters against each other awkwardly in the ultimate fanboy fanservice finale is worth its weight in Chocobo, even if the game is a bit underwhelming.

According to Joystiq , the pulled video (which can be found here ) confirms a 2010 Project Natal launch, which shouldn’t be that much of a surprise, and also discusses the “Xbox Game Room”.
Last week, people were left scratching their heads over Marvel: Ultimate Alliance’s DLC pulling a Shadowcat from the PSN store and disappearing through a wall. The incrimental expansion that included Psylocke, Cable, and Carnage simply vanished into an alternate Earth without any warning.
