AFAIK it is not released for the PS3, you would have to get the PS2 Vana'diel Collection '08. It is really personal preference - do you prefer using the keyboard, or a controller? A PC is handy for looking up Quest information etc. - would you have your PS3 in a room with a computer, or would it be more prudent to just use your PC for the game?

I don't know if PS3 can improve the graphics of the PS2 version, but if you have a decent PC it would look better on it. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 01-31-2008, 12:23 PM | #4 (permalink) | | I.T.

(Graphics are best on PC and you can run hi-rez) Just get a good pc, get a PS2 controller w/ usb adapter and call it a day.  [Bahamut] Rank 5

PC gives you more options as you sit and seek for a party. Another reason I prefer PC is because I fall asleep on the couch while sitting and seeking for a party otherwise! LOL If all you are concerned about is using a keyboard for controls on the PC, then do as Zoltar suggested. We all use PC's in the house and have PS2 controllers. It's the best of both worlds.

Oh, I play on 360 and the the PS3 HDD patch is unavailable in Europe, so I really have no business in here either ^^ | | ::Quote Selected:: | | The following user says "Thank You" to Boldfinger for above post: | | | 02-01-2008, 08:05 AM | #9 (permalink) | | Π Pie Master Super Moderator Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Roswell, GA Posts: 4,772 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 112 Thanked 216x in 145 Posts Gil: 69,943 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 69,943 Donate | Re: PS3 Or PC? The PS3 will upscale the game and smooth out some of the visuals, but it still won't compare to playing it on a decent PC. It's still the PS2 version of the game. I would certainly recommend the PC version over playing on PS3.
