Magic XBLA game heads to PC, PS3 News
Xbox 360 PC PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Hold on to your pointy hats as Wizards of the Coast plans to bring The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers to PC and PS3.
There will be rather a long wait, however: summer 2010 on PC and autumn 2010 on PS3. But to make up for this there will be "extra content". Maybe a robe to go with your wizard hat.
Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers - a card battler of the purest kind - was released on Xbox 360 in June, scoring well across the board.
And to stop Xbox 360 owners feeling left out, WOTC will release two expansions next year - the first in spring and the second in summer.

Would be nice that, even if they won't allow full deck customisation (I fully accept that's a major draw they need to reserve for Magic: The Gathering Online) they could at least let you *remove* cards from the pre-constructed decks, to make them leaner and meaner.

This is a great game, the recent expansion added some pretty good decks and additional cards. There's still a few AI issues though. Still seems pretty easy to find someone to play online though and I've had less of a problem with quitters lately too.
Deck customisation would be nice though, as would the option to play co-op online. Regardless, I've certainly clocked up more hours on this than any other arcade title this year. Probably spent more time on it than most full price releases to be honest. |

Deck customization is an essential part of playing Magic. Designing a deck is as much fun as playing the game itself.
I'm surprised to read that the XBLA version had this portion so limited in the first place. Hopefully it will be patched or added as DLC. |

We're not going to get full deck customisation unless a full pay-per card/booster model is introduced alongside it.
MTG:O is the place to be for authentic virtual Magic. |

You get the decks for free when you signup to MTGO and you can customise them all in teh casual room. Why you then can't do that for the xbox 360 version? i dunno....
If they allowed the customisation, i'd buy the extra DLC tomorrow. |

So somewhere in the region of 15 months for a port to the PS3? And for an XBLA game which surely can't be THAT complex. Something tells me that they haven't even started on this yet and are concentrating on those expansions, maybe the version coming to PC and PS3 next year will have both of those expansions built in and that's our extra content? Not sure but that'd be my guess anyway
