When will Final Fantasy XIII ever be released?

It's not a good sign when a 2008 release date, slips to 2009 and now 2010. Making things worse is the exclusivity deal Square-Enix struck with Microsoft (FFXIII would be released simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 outside of Japan); Square-Enix has announced that development wouldn't even begin on the 360 version until the PS3 version was finished. How much time does that add to development time?

2010 sounds optimistic.
