I haven't come on these forums for a while seeing as I went off FM for a while since getting my PS3. On holiday I started playing it quite a lot as well as FMH07.

I was wondering now that the 360 has had FM will the PS3 be getting it as it is one of the games that the 360 has that I would love for the PS3.

I know I'm not really very good at this game and sometimes it makes me pretty annoyed but when I have a team that's playing well then its really good fun.

So was just wanting to know whether it is likely that the PS3 will be getting FM or any other football management game?

Well, just think about this...

Who is XBOX owned by?
Who are the owners of Windows?

Both made by Microsoft... doubt VERY MUCH that this will EVER appear on PS3...

I don't really think that's a valid point. Microsoft doesn't own SI or Sega and FM is on PSP so that shouldn't be a rean for FM not to appear on the PS3.

You never know, if it sells well on 360 then it may well be ported to PS3 aswell.

Only Sega and SI can answer that for sure of course.

Would like to see a ps3 version as well for the fact its got the hardrive to use and see how the cell processor copes with the game.

Also can use mouse and keyboard.

The PS3 cell processor is at the heart of the problem, the different coding requirements are not worth the investment based on the retail returns.

I would guess that most of the PS3 owners out there that also enjoy FM will already own a PC or Laptop to play it on.

True but I assume most 360 owners would too, if not a higher percentage of them would.

I would think that FM would do as well if not better as idone on the 360 seeing as there is also HDD space. In some cases a lot more than most 360s (I have upgraded to 320gb). Also the capacity of blu-ray is huge, big enough to cope with the PC version's database.

And like the guy above said there is the option to use mouse and keyboard.

I personally do have a laptop and FM08 for it. However I love the convenience of being able to play FM on a console. I just put the disk in and it starts, I don't have to mess around with loads of messages about needing to update my antivirus and **** like that.

Also the PSP version has managed to keep me interested better than the PC version has, probably because its easier and less fiddly.

I don't get the Datbase this year tbh, only being to pick from 3 countries is kinda stupid, only downside imo...

I mean the 360 has a 20g Hard Drive, they should give us the option to pick a large database. Last year was a bit better since there wasn't the 3 country limit.
