I wouldnt hold my breath. Then again i am known for finding MMOs extremely dull.

Wooooow yet another franchise that just insists on only giving the decent to good games to the consoles and leaving pieces of #@"'$% mmo's for the PC, because let's face it, that is the only good thing the PC can ever hope to do, what with it's puny power and everything...

I do wish companies other than Namcake Bandages (who are by the way fairly notorious for taking their customers for massive idiots) could take over such franchises. Alas, such a shame...

Also is it just me or is this also a game that isn't even available in the country the source material originated from?

If i knew an ironic clapping emoticon I'd put it here, but blargh...
