Also Brian did not state that they said the PS3 version would be superior. He brought forth the question of (How could the) "PS3, which the team seemingly claimed to be superior, not have the superior version"?

Weird! It's like they made the PS3 the lead platform, played it safe to avoid difficulty porting to the 360 and then tweaked the hell out of the port and left the PS3 version as the original 'safe' version with minimal optimisations!! That is really strange. Why not take the later Amiga vs ST strategy - make a game that you're proud of on your lead format and then downsize/shoe horn the game onto the lesser platform - Lemmings 2 was a great example of this and ultimately led me to dump the aging ST for an AGA Amiga! Multi-platform programming is madness!!!

P.S. Somehow I think the ST version of Rainbow Islands beats the Amiga one! I heard even the NES version was better than the Amiga one! No matter I still love the game

I rewatched the show just in case to see where exactly lies your issue.

Ian was indeed reporting from the scene, so my reference seems just to me. Secondly, I only saw 1 of the 3 customers speak out on his problems and he didn't say anything that malicious neither. So why you alledge any of them would have lied goes beyond me.

Maybe it was cut out, but it wasn't there in the version I saw.
