Would one be foolish to hope for an NA version of this bundle?

I really with they would put a version like this out. I dont like the colors really and I am not really a FF fan but man I am a sucker for awesome looking shit. And that looks freaking sweet. Unfortunately the NA always gets shafted on cool stuff. We love Japanese stuff too! /sniffle

But that wouldn't be "fair" to the 360 remember?

Love the double standards. I guess a special edition modern warfare 360 and zilch for the PS3 is completely different. I doubt this bundle will release in North America on the PS3. It's not out of the question but I'm sure Greenberg and the rest of the Microsoft crew would scream bloody murder. LOL. Pussies.

But it would be interesting to see a similar bundle for FFXIII in NA territories, wouldn't it?
Based on these new photos, though, I have to say that I'm not a fan of the color scheme. If an FFXIII bundle for the PS3 should come out, I hope it comes in a different color.

NOOO! Not Final Fantasy 8! The Spoony Experiment utterly destroyed that game!

But just a quick question to potential buyers...do you really NEED all that space? I've got an 80gb and I'll probably just stick with it until I need more space. You know when I actually run out of room.

I upgraded my HDD to a 250GB and I have about 80 GB's left. So, YES you do need that much space if you download lots of games and movies.

Yeah. My 160GB only has about 70 left...the more space the better.

According to Kotaku, the special edition PS3 will not only have Lightning's image on it, but the system will be colored pink and white. Whether that's accurate or not, I don't know.

@libregkd: You're right I apologize. I wrote that before the pics were up. I will punish myself by watching Teletubbies for 24 hours straight.

Hey, at least because the PS3 doesn't have region protection you can import it in december and play it in Japanese instead of waiting till spring.

Clue for the slow ones out there: begins with Final and ends with XIII

When has Microsoft ever stood a chance in Japan? The place has been Sony's home territory since day one. It's the U.S. that's keeping MS alive, and if they lose that (PS3 Slim), then it's over for them with this generation.

That thing is going to sell like herion soaked crack in Baltimore. In other words, it's going to sell exceptionally well.

Probably. I'm sure they are planning a similar bundle for GT:5 in Japan.

Could also be related to the potential supply shortages of Slims...FFXIII is already going to send demand through the roof. Now imagine console demand with FFXIII and GT5...
My calculator just melted into a pile of slag trying to compute that number. :(

Do you think the Sony PS3 are more friendly to Japan than the USA?

I guess it'll be a big plus at least on Sony's part. There are people out there who've held off buying a PS3 until the release of FFXIII. This bundle will net them two birds with one stone.
