It includes Knights of the Old Republic, Empire at War, Battlefront, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, and Republic Commando. It also has a free trial for Galaxies, but I don't care about MMOs at the moment. Would you recommend it to me?

MGS4 has an 80% chance of turning up on the 360 within a year of the PS3 release IMO.

I would. Sadly none of those games are as good as the old classic Star Wars games, but Battlefront and Republic Commando are both decent blasts in their own right, and everyone seems to love KotoR (I've never had a chance to get into it). Depends how much it's being sold for as well - definitely worth it if the whole collection is being sold for the same price as one brand new PC game
Edit: Didn't notice at first, but I'm a bit confused about why you asked about it in your own X-Box/PS3 thread...

Are you basing this on anything substantial or are you simply pulling it out of your ass?

Right. I'll create a new thread about those things.

I'm pulling it out of my ass, but I suspect it will be too hard to resist a market such as the 360.

Just to ask, would anybody recommend Final Fantasy XII to me?

Why you taking such offence here? We are saying MGS4 will probably be released on the 360 eventually. Nothing harmful there, I think?
BTW, check google - there are hundreds of stories for both sides of the argumant.

No, not really. The only argument for the 360 side I've seen is some rumors from unverified sources saying that it might come on it. Hideo Kojima himself denied this as well as many others. Furthermore I can go on an elaborate tirade to enlighten you on specifically on technical limitations that prevent the port from happening.
I'd just pisses me off when people talk about something they know nothing about. When I lack knowledge of a certain subject, I keep my mouth shut. Of course this is the innernet and nothing makes sense here.

And, I'm sure that if the money potential was high enough, they'd manage to port it despite the so called limitations you speak of.
Keeping your mouth shut is quite boring, IMO.

I DO know what I'm talking about, but I DON'T know these limitations of which you speak. Elaborate?

Well for starters, this game has been developing for years on the PS3 and has been insured to squeeze every last one drop of power the console has to offer. The graphics are superb and cannot be matched by the 360. It simply lacks the necessary hardware. You may argue that the game will be recreated again for the 360, but I highly doubt that since they would have to either gimp the engine or create a new one, both which take time and $$$.
Of course there is the issue of the controller. AFAIK the 360 controller has neither rumble or motion sensing. You may argue this is unnecessary. True, but both rumble and sixaxis have been integrated into MGS4 gameplay which if translated to the 360 would require more modification.
Finally unless you feel like playing with 6 or 8 DVDs you will require the BD player attachment, since with all the HD videos in MGS4 Kojima stated it filled the entire BD disc. He didnt disclose if it's a single or dual layer disc (25 and 50 GB respectively) but that's still a helluva lot of data.

If the money potential from MGS4 on the 360 significantly outweighs the time and costs to port it, and the PS3 version doesn't sell as well as anticipated, they'll find a way.

It's the free market, of course they will.

I'm guessing they will sooner or later.......

The 360 is failing, its sales are declining where as the PS3 is finally picking up. It will remain excusive.
Oddly, Smash Brothers contains music from MGS4, and the character Snake is playable..

Snake Eater never came out on XBOX, so I am not so sure MGS4 will come out on XBOX360.
