well, xbox only releases are how bioware can afford to fund their new projects, esp their IP, Dragon Age. xbox games take much less development & testing time, so overall they can slam one out in a couple of years as opposed to 4 or 5 years for a pc game.

i'm very happy they are going to a brand new engine and tossing away the tilesets. seems the designers disliked those as much as the players. it'll be great to see the gorgeous handpainted backgrounds again. [img]smile.gif[/img]

i just hope that they can get their DD (digital distribution) system set up by the time Dragon Age is released. [img]smile.gif[/img] it'll be great to get expansions, new content, updates and patches continuously as in NWN model.
