So what does Aaron Greenberg think of the Sony ‘Move’?

With Sony revealing the PlayStation ‘Move’ at GDC, The BitBag caught up with Microsoft‘s Aaron Greenberg to find out his thoughts on Sony’s latest move:

TBb: What do you think of Sony’s MOVE system in comparison to Natal?

AG: Xbox 360 has a strong history of innovation. Halo, Xbox LIVE and instant-on 1080p HD. With each of these, we had our sights set on the future – and it paid off for us, the industry and Xbox 360 owners. We are doing it again with “Project Natal” on Xbox 360. We believe controller-free experiences are the future of gaming and entertainment. Only “Project Natal” makes YOU the controller, putting you in the middle of the action and in complete control. Jump and your Avatar jumps. Speak and characters respond. Combined with Xbox LIVE, “Project Natal” will transform how you connect with your friends, family and entertainment – as only Xbox 360 can do.

Final Fantaxy XIII, 360 or PS3?

Good question, we’ve all be waiting to see how the latest and greatest Final Fantasy will look and feel on the Xbox 360, seeing as it’s been a Playstation exclusive for quite some time now.  We knew that the 360 would have to have multiple discs for the game as opposed to the PS3′s single Bluray disc but will the loss in quality of both graphics and video really impede the 360′s version that much?  EuroGamer seems to think so:
