TGS 2008: Final Fantasy XIII demo is limited

The latest word from Tokyo Game Show 2008 is that only the first batch of Final Fantasy Advent Children: Complete releases will include the Final Fantasy XIII demo as a bonus. That means that if you want any chance at all to play the demo, you'll probably want to pre-order the Blu-Ray movie from various online shops.

There is no extra cost, the first releases are not considered as "limited editions", Square Enix has simply decided that the demo will only be inside the first batch. The first releases will probably run out in a week or two, so be quick!

Wait, is this for Japan? or for US/Eu? Or both?

Wasn't the point of demos is to reach as many consumers out there as possible? this's simply terrible, most people who are planning to buy AC were doing it to get the demo in the first place, if it's only in the first batch, then why bother.

1.3 - Is the demo selling the movie or is the movie selling the demo?

The point of putting in the demo is to increase sales on the movie. Square is providing the demo so Square can make up some of the money they lost on the movie. Once the movie sales slow down, they will most likely start distributing the demo in other ways. Possibly with Qore in the States since that is their recent move towards "premium" content followed later with a general release.

1.5 - @Winter47th

the reason for this is because they want people to order right away hoping to get the first batch and hence they will generate more sales on launch.

1.6 - My understanding

is that AC: Complete is only planned for Japan, let alone the version that will contain a demo for FFXIII. I was going to drop the hammer and import on day 1, but there's pretty much no way to guarantee that I'd get one of the first releases, so Square has just lost another 40 bucks. This is getting f'ing ridiculous.

White Knight anyone?

8 - I'd rather buy AC:Complete "used"

I did intend to buy AC Complete "new", but I don't want to support Square-Enix's newest business strategy. I've been waiting for AC:Complete for some time, but not like this.

Ebay, here I come!

Since I have a PAL PS3, I won't be able to watch that blu-ray. Unless, they put the demo seperately on another disc then maybe.
