Despite the name (or maybe because of it) its possibly the best source of PS3 info, either that or threespeech for confirmed sony announcements.

I don't know about you but I don't expect a fansite dedicated to the PS3 to be less biased about their console compared to a multi-platform website. If you check the article which I'm sure you have, they are linking to the GameSpot article that I just quoted earlier which states it's not an exclusive but at the moment it's only planned for the PS3.

PS3 fanboy has taken the news from GameSpot out of context a little and gone the extra mile with their post in my opinion. I'm not saying that the 360 is going to get the game any time soon, but I want to stress that there is no official contract between Free Radical and Sony regarding the exclusive temporary rights to Haze, this is what I've been trying to stress. Do you agree with that or are you still convinced that Haze is an official exclusive for the PS3?

PS3Fanboy isn't really a fansite, it's more like the PS3 'section' of the huge gaming blog, Joystiq. Many of the sections share writers and stuff, so your accusations of bias are ill-informed, I'm afraid.

"exclusive to PS3", "just planned for PS3" ..... either way it's only going to be on PS3 for a while, so that kind of makes it an exclusive. I don't see the big deal.

That's not really a reason to pick the PS3, is it? Besids, Microsoft are never going to make a profit on their Xbox section, they lost about 4 billion on the last one. Which is why it always sounds slightly ironic to hear that the Xbox 360 is "winning" :]

If it wasn't for the fact that I loved FF and MGS so (and both of those series sequels are exclusively on PS3) then I'd have a very hard time deciding between 360 and PS3. But, considering, both MGS4 and FFXIII (and FF Versus XIII, which rather sweetens the deal) are exclusive to PS3, I have a much easier choice :]

Wow this discussion was over ages ago, but hey I'm always up for some of this. PS3Fanboy have admitted to being Sony fanboys on various occasions during their articles, if they want to love Sony that's fine by me but to tell me they're only just fanboys by name isn't very convincing. Then again, if you asked me to find the pages where they admitted to being fanboys, my response is going to be 'I can't be bothered digging through their articles' so my response isn't very convincing either.

As for the exclusive thing, this discussion is old as hell. By the time it died, Haze was actually confirmed to be an exclusive for the PS3 as you should already know by now. Back when we were actually discussing this, it was still just a rumour. Now it's a fact, so I don't see the big deal either.
