Could be an even better move for me if they bring it to the States

(Fingers crossed)

KillaManiac6087d ago

And we thought the PS3 Slim sold a lot on day 1......Just you wait!

kingOVsticks6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

450 (basically) is a little steep for the ps3 coming bundled with FF13. The ps3 now is 299.99 so why is a paint job and a 60 dollar game increasing the price by 150 bucks? I do hope to see a similar bundle coming to the west (maybe in the form of GOW3) just not for 450 bucks. who am I kidding I have a 60gb so im cool but if Sony was smart(and I know they are) they won't do that.

edit:@bushfan
Oh I didn't know that they were always doing that 0.0 learn something new about gaming every other day on this site :D

v1c1ous6087d ago

its different colored consoles :o

SupaPlaya6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

can't wait that long for it to come stateside...

This is probably the best bundle they could ever have outside of GT5.

nbsmatambo6087d ago

i bet all of japan just jizzed in their pants

UnSelf6087d ago

I-KE!!!!!! (JAPANESE FOR LETS GO)

Noctis6087d ago

im expecting a FFXIII 360 bundle :)

Lou-Cipher6087d ago

This will sell more PS3's in Japan than the 360 can sell 360's worldwide this holiday season.

kingOVsticks6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

and were expecting you to GTFO! and while your on your way out,don't forget to grab yourself a big ol steamy cup of STFU!

damn trolls

bushfan6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

FFXIII alone gonna be sale at the equivalent of $100 in yens..
off topic: every square-enix game is sold very expensive at japan..they always do that over there..

Lou-Cipher6087d ago

I know it is a little pricey but, remember it comes with an extra 130 gigs over the current PS3, and add the new paintjob and the most desired game in that country, and it starts to look not so bad.

I would pay $450.00 for a US version if it made it to the states.

Sony was charging an extra $100 for an additional 80 gigs(the old PS3 80gig VS 160gig Bundle) and Uncharted, so an extra $150 for 130gigs + White PS3 + Final Fantasy 13 is not to bad.

Maddens Raiders6087d ago

more phuckin' money to spend....

UltimateIdiot9116087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

Head over to Joystiq for a somewhat blurry picture of it. It's white with a pink picture of Lightning. I've added the alt source.

Edit: Actually, head over to Engadget.

For those too lazy, here:

beardpapa6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

^ bubbles for the pic. Man I would drop $450 for a white slim. I have a launch PS3 and I hardly use the PS2 bc ever since I finished Persona 4, so I don't care too much for bc atm. But a White slim w/ Lightning on it. I'm down for that.

http://www.engadget.com/pho...

Geez it's quite a pretty thing.

Sarcasm6087d ago

412,000 yen is more like 399. So basically Japanese people are paying $15 for the white/lightning and 85 for FFXIII.

Syronicus6087d ago

This is one ballsy move for Sony. They know what the Japanese folks want and then they slap white all over it! Nice move!

sunnygrg6087d ago

41,600 yen is just daylight robbery though.

Noctis Aftermath6087d ago (Edited 6087d ago )

Umm, no actually its a pretty decent price, considering its a unique paintjob (not a bland one either) comes with a copy of FF13 ($90us right there) and 130gig more HD space.... lets add that up.

FF13 custom paintjob.... not cheap i bet
FF13 game.... $90
250gb PS3 console.... $350-$399?

even without the custom paintjob its already saving you a few bucks....

Here's the only place currently doing ps3 paintjobs and they only provide a basic color change, no fancy pictures of Lightning.... and thats $150 by itself.

Bereaver6087d ago

This audience will be known.... on the release date.

*sold out*

I did not murder him6087d ago

Is this the phat style or the slim sku because if it's the slim sku, yuck. I hope it's more than a plain white Slim style console.

WMW6087d ago

Exactly. Any Microsoft fans in Japan will spontaneously combust the day that bundle launches.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle26d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7726d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy33d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga34d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199234d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga33d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman33d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger33d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box34d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion33d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7234d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7534d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit34d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14934d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7734d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
