Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood On Xbox Live

Slowly, but steadily, next-gen gaming consoles are turning into full fledged multimedia portals, thanks to their online digital stores. Both Microsoft and Sony (and, to a certain extent, Nintendo too), are taking advantage of the fact that lazy people would rather purchase their products via these services, rather than book a plane to the nearest shopping mall, where they have to face the excruciating long lines, the awful sweaty smell of real human beings, and the constant, annoying mumbling of unsatisfied customers.



FUNimation is one of the few anime companies that saw the piles of gold in this and, taking advantage of the huge success Full Metal Alchemist had over the ages, is bringing its sequel, Brotherhood, to the Xbox Live. And not any amateurish dubbed version, where all the nyaas, desu's, gaoo's and various other cute interjections are being butchered in the most sadistic way possible, but a nice Japanese version, subbed quietly for all of us fans to enjoy. I admit, watching a good anime show on a plasma TV the size of Jeniffer Lopez's ass is certainly more entertaining than viewing it on my crappy 15" laptop screen.

Thanks FUNimation for the scoop.
