1 - $399?
Wait, is that standard price for an Elite?

Some branding would have been nice.

Doesn't the PS3 have a FF bundle too?

Anyways, smart attempt at trying to bite into the sales, but I doubt it will affect the PS3 ratio much.

I disagree. There are a lot of fans stuck on the PS2 waiting for something like this. MS did the right thing, and I hope to god they succeed. I want Sony to get screwed so bad, because of how fricking slow they act.

Edit. Elite is $299 I think.

A $199 Xbox didn't stop people from buying a $299 PS3; nor will this bundle stop people from buying a PS3 for FFXIII.

Moneyhats! Americans are dumb they will buy this. Microsoft up to there ways of tricking the consumer. Even though the PS3 version is better than the 360, Microsoft manages to make it seem like Final Fantasy XIII is exclusive to 360.

It's fake just look at the controllers edges you can obviously tell its shopped same with the console itself. It would be cool if its true but yeah this looks fake. Maybe they will announce it at that event.

1.7 - 'Only on Xbox 360' ?
Besides the fact that you can see the horrible black outlines of the controllers and the white 360, the boxart for the game clearly says "Only on Xbox 360" so this is obviously fake and GI should be ashamed for even posting this. I'm not saying it's not possible, but THIS is definitely fake.

When I played LO, I still had to swap disks even though I had all four disks installed to harddrive. Not an issue, but there it is. I expect the same from FFXIII

Getting this on PS3. It just seems right

I guess we Have a new idiot on board(referring to Clown something) anyway MS can do this I think Sony already released a PS3 Bundle in Japan. They have yet to announce a NA version of this bundle sooooo yeah however, I doubt this is even true. Even though square is kinda close playing the field we would have to see.

It is funny how people scream first party when LAST gen it was completely backwards. ps2 dominated with third party and Xbox had to create new IP's and had a stellar First Party line-up. Look at where it got MS? They came in at a very distant second place. If it weren't for the fluke of the Wii, X360 would have been first place following sony's business strategy in the first place.

Either which way companies like Capcom and Square-Enix will pledge full support for the MS brand because they are making money. (At least with Capcom) When Square-Enix bought Eidos, that just confirmed all the more they are shifting western and you will even see a lot more SE games landing on the PC platform since they already have a studio that excels at PC coding. I personally think that MS has A LOT of money invested in SE and time will tell if SE shifts their focus on MS platforms in the future. This is great news if you are a PC gamer. Maybe we can finally get FF9, FFX, FFX-2, FF12, FF13 and so on for PC. I guess time will tell.

Wow so many errors its unreal. The elites black yet it shows a white 360. It has 2 controllers yet the games single player?? I call fake. At least to this flyer anyways... There will be a bundle in stores anyways as every game is in a bundle in a game store. They are really meaningless these things.

Gotta give MS the props for their marketing department. They are the very best in what they do. I mean, we still haven't heard anything from Sony. So slow.

well if you are talking about PS2 FF fans waiting to jump on board, then wouldn't they buy a PS3 to play both FF13 and versus?

And clearly Sony doesn't care about FF13 anymore since they already received their bounty from Japan, and they have their own game to promote in March ;)

2.4 - well this is fake, most likely.
I'm pretty sure that Ms gave a huge amount (starting from 50 million is my guess not sure.) to bring the game to 360 so they don't lose customers. Besides the smarter thing that Sony did was make it exclusive for the Largest Fan Base of FF in the world... Japan. Ms isa also going to pay 50 Million + (i don't know i think) for call of duty to have a 6 month exclustivy for mw2 maps. Yea Ms is REALLY smart. You just don't have the abilty to find out that the ps3 exclusive in japan sold 1.8 million copies AND had a REAL bundle. Yea ms has great marketing they should stick to the games they have... I LOVE MASS EFFECT 2 and no real bundle (that i heard of), well i already have an 360 and ps3 but i'm more sony side cuz i played FF 7 on playstation
till ff12 on ps2. Better hope natal's worth it

yhh you make total sense,

play ff7 on the ps1
play ff8 on the ps1
play ff9 on the ps1
play ff10 on the ps2
play ff10-2 on the ps2
play ff12 on the ps2
play ff13 on the 360

people will totaly be comfortable playing it on a different console

and the sales will totally be on the ps3 side because ps3 owners are hungry for a good jrpg since it's launch

1 million at most for the 360 since lost odyssey didn't sell that much and is from the "creator" of final fantasy

they wait for bundles?? You think ps2 FF fans will switch to 360 over PS3 because of a bundle?? You are crazy! What a stupid reason. Beside as for Sony being slow Sony announced the PS3 FFXIII bundle months ago.. Japan even got a special edition PS3 for the game..

MS is serious about stealing away more PS2 users from Sony. And a white 360 with a harddrive is kinda a limited edition.

Funny how some are saying its fake lol

About as fake as your brain, you got to be pretty dumb to think this is real. But hey try looking to preorder if you think its real.

You might get alot of pop ups of the PS3 bundle lol.

If I was a PS2 owner and really wanted final fantasy... these are two of my option

1. Buy a 360 and FF13
2. Buy a PS3 and FF13 and FF games on the store and get FF14 anf FF13VS in a bit, while also being able to get loads of my PS2 games sequels like R&C:Future or God of War.

Only good thing about this bundle is the 250gb HDD. Everything else is fail IMO. One of the worst special/limited edition bundles I have seen. And with GOWIII and GT5 around the corner, I doubt this bundle will steal PS2 users.

A Splinter Cell bundle in the U.S. makes more sense. It supports splitscreen co-op which would make that second controller useful out of the box.
