You guys say it's canceled, PS3fanboy says it's on hold... wtf? Either way I'll be getting it for the PC.

That's the only thing that bothers me here as a dual console owner. The PS3 reporting reads as factual while "Fanboy" comes off just a tad cocky. "Hold" doesn't read "canceled" to me.

Hold on a sec. So now "fanboy" just represents Xbox 360? Because I could have sworn that the PS3 blog was called PS3 fanboy too? Don't twist your words around just to make your point look better.
And Why would 360 fanboy lie? What do they have to gain from this? To me it seems that it'd make more sense for PS3 fanboy to call it "on hold", rather than cancelled. The poor PS3 needs some hope every now and then.

YAY more exclusives!
Though I didn't play to get this one anyway :P Plus if I did, i'd probably get it for the PC anyway. Strategy games will always be better on there, no matter what sadly. More buttons for hot-keys!
@Rampage99: Joystiq also had it down on hold..but they also said that its on hold, they said nothing about when it would start again and didn't say much more at all. That pretty much screams "canceled" in my book.

It's funny, I just bought a PS3 yesterday to prepare for MGS4 (and got a $100 giftcard thanks to Best Buy price matching Walmart) and in the last day, Getaway and 8 Days were both canceled and now this game is put on indefinite hold. It's like some force is trying to tell me to return the PS3. It's just sitting there collecting dust while I continue to play my 360.

The Red Alert series was so much better than the tiberium one imo. Well definitely pick this up, on the PC.

... Expect it out 6 months later with extra content for PS3. Its a trend with multiplatform companies.

The article linked to in the post says development has been "halted", and whether or not it will resume is "under wraps". That tells me that it might be released eventually, but it's still up in the air.
I'll get this on 360 cause that's what all my friends play, and C&C3 wasn't too bad on the console. Not as good as a PC, but it worked well enough.

That's why I sold my PS3 last month on eBay and just upgraded my old 360 to a new Elite with a Falcon motherboard and quiet BenQ drive. The reason Sony says the PS3 will have a 10 life cycle is because it will be 10 years before developers can understand how to make a game for the piece of junk. By that time I'll be gaming with the Next Generation Xbox. Go MS FTW.

Let PS3 fanboys make their excuses...truth is PS3 is dead and MGS4 proves it.

I hope I have my new PC by then, Im sorry but RTS will never be as enjoyable with the gamepad.

Couldn't agree more :)
After playing Triberium, I remain skeptical about RTS on consoles.

Awesome! The 360 is the place for strategy people!! and RPGs, and shooters, and so on.

"console RTS fun"
I've always found console RTS games lack of decent control methods to be anything but fun. I can't do stuff quick enough, and that pisses me off. It absolutely puzzles me why this game is on a living room console of any form.
EA ruining meh C&C... Yet again. :(

stop complaining - so what if its on the XBOX 360 as well? doesnt mean the PC version is ruined; if that was the case, & GoW shouldnt be on PC & the same with HALO.
its good for many ppl like me that dont have a desktop PC to game on.
C&C on the X360 was v.playable control wise, after a couple of missions, the control scheme becomes 2nd nature.
bottom line, if u wanna play the game on PC, then play it on PC & visa versa.

I hope this is going to have a good control system coz I'd love to play this on Xbox Live. They've got a 360mote coming, why not mouse support?

Cry me a river PS3 fanboys,,,,
Hold Cancelled whatever you want to call it, know this it will still look, play and be better on the XB360. And at least for the near furture if you own a console and want to play this game then the XB360 as usual is the way to go! Bwhahahaha

errrrr , how is it exclusive , it's coming out for PC , even if it doesn't come out for PS3 . This is why I bought a PS3 instead of a 360 , I can get 360 "exclusives" for my PC . Can't do that with Final Fantasy , and Gran Turisimo and Ratchet and Clank , and MGS4 can you .
