Picture this. It's the release date part 3 of your favorite movie saga and you rush to the nearest retail store to pick it up. As you approach the store clerk about getting your movie he or she hands you a blu-ray copy. You declined politely and ask for the dvd version as the last two of the movie series were on dvd. He or she tells you it's only exclusive to blu ray for the time being but you tell him or her you don't have a blu ray player and that dvd play is all you have. Now you are forced to buy not only a blu ray player but the movie on blu ray as well; which can most of the time be pricy.

Now picture this. You're playing your favorite video game series on Ps2, XBox, GameCube, Wii PS3 or Xbox360 and E3 comes along and the next installment of your favorite video game is announced and the release date is given. Suddenly you are so excited you ejaculate out your ears with anticipation and suddenly your whole world come crashing down when they announce is going to be exclusive on another console system that you do not own. You put your face to palm asking yourself "Say it ain't so?" Now not only are you forced to dish extra money for a new console you are also forced to dish out extra on the game of your favorite series as well.

Folks if you with me on this one then you agree that if you start a series on one console, then there really isn't any reason to bring on another console unless its sole purpose is because the other console is an upgraded version of its predecessor. Prime example of this would be the Kingdom Heart series. This series has jumped ship so many times I don't think anything anyone even remembers it began on the PlayStation Two. Then the series took weird turn and went to game boy advanced (Chain Of Memories) then the game boy advanced version (Re-chain Of Memories) went back to PlayStation 2, then a filler (365/2) went to Nintendo DS, then the a prequel to Kingdom Hearts known as Birth By Sleep went to PlayStation Portable and then we went back to Nintendo DS with Re:coded and now we're going to Nintendo 3DS for Dream Drop Distance. So to recap what one would have to buy: PS2, GameBoy Advanced, Nintendo DS, PSP and a Nintendo 3DS to play the entire series. I gotta say folks talk about Disney and Square Enix lifting you upside down and shaking you for every penny you got. Now one can only wonder where Kingdom Hearts 3 will end up. My bet is Wii U. This really financially sucks for people like us of the series who because of Disney and Squares disloyalty to Sony is forcing fans to jump from console to hand held console just to enjoy the series but I for one will not be penny pinched anymore. I've given up on the series and its future and turned my full attention to Final Fantasy for my RPG fix.
