The 250GB PS3 is real! Sony is taking advantage of its exclusivity of Final Fantasy XIII in Japan by introducing a new bundle. For 41600 yen, Japanese gamers will get a special limited edition system with Lightning (the main character, not the weather condition) printed on the body. It'll be available for purchase on 12/17 (so importers, get ready!).
We'll upload images as soon as we get them. In the meantime, you can download Final Fantasy VIII from the Japanese PlayStation Store for 1500 yen.

I wonder if the announcement of this will in any way impede current sales of the console, because I know if I was going to get a PS3 and saw this I would want to wait till the special edition came out since its quite pretty compared to the rather utilitarian matte black Slim.

I doubt it will have much of an effect. Not everyone reads blog posts on video games, and I doubt there will be any advertising for this until it's available.

What? Only the Japanese store? What the hell are they thinking?! With the sales they got for FFVII you'd think they'd be dumping the rest of them on PSN as soon as possible.

I like the look of this PS3.

Oh man I hope that comes out in America (Or that the Japan version works in America. I wouldn't know much about that.) because it just looks great. I already bought the game from this site - http://www.gamesncs.com/rd_p?p=191613&t=9528&a=28522-sfantasy&gift=28522 - but for that bundle, chances are I'd cancel my pre-order.
Did I mention it looked awesome?
