They started off as €600 over here, but then the Wii's outsold them, s they're now at like €450 with all the set up and two free games aswell- I'll be getting one as soon as I save the money from my part-time job; I doubt the games will be out by then, though it was speculated that Square Enix were vying for a simultaneous world-wide release for XIII, but nothing has been confirmed as of now.....

Hmm... let's see... £1 is about 14Kr. A PS3 in Sweden costs around 4500Kr. That'll be about - £320, I think. If I didn't miscalculate that completely.

Well, I'm certainly stoked about it, and have suckered my mom's boy friend to let me play Versus and XIII with his PS3, when he gets it for christmas.

You are so right!! My cousin has a PS3, but he uses it playing Assassin's Creed (which he says is brilliant) and is never away from it...If I asked to use it he'd most likely laugh at me...so I'm saving and at least then, when I buy one, I can call it mine and when I get XIII and Versus, I can laugh when he asks me for a lend of the games, lol! ;D

Gawd, if I don't tank completely on my AS exams I'll be able to sucker my parents into getting me so much junk stuff. =P I've already got dad to promise me about five videogames (so far) on the condition that I do well. I guess it shouldn't be too hard to throw, say VersusXIII in there too. XD
Speaking of prices, I think in the US the PS3 (the normal, 60GB one) is about $530. Since one British pound is about two American dollars, that's like 265 pounds. Which is... not the selling price in England.
Yikes, that's unfair. Almost makes it worth your while to just order everything from amazon.com and wait for it to arrive - which, by the way, is what I'll be doing with th XIII games in order to avoid annoying spanish text. =P

New picture released of FFvXIII URL; img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ffv1318gp5.jpgIt's unknown exactly what this man has to do with the Prince and his friends...many have speculated he has to do with the government of the Prince's country but absolutely nothing has been confirmed by Square Enix as of this moment...apparently this image was supposedly leaked...either by accident or for publicity purposes.... More has been stated on the planned similtaneous release of FFXIII; it now seems more than likely to happen- and what's more is that, if it does happen, all future Final Fantasy titles will be worldwide simulatanously released by standard!! ;D Lets hope it happens!! Nikkei Torendinetto has held an interview with the Square Enix president, Yoichi Wada. In the interview he vaguely talks about the release date of Final Fantasy 13, saying that he is unsure whether to release it in the same year as Dragon Quest IX. Wada says that since both games are high profile games, he is not sure whether it would be good business to release them so close together. So, he says at this point he is undecided as to whether FF13 will be released this year. It has now been hinted at (albeit not confirmed) that, out of all of his group of friends, the Prince is much more relaxed around the blond guy with the gun (remeber- the Reno-like guy...)...and he's closer to him than any of the others...they are even reported to be best friends...hmmmm; black hair and blond hair....can anyone else see the Cloud/Zack thing, although the roles are reversed, with the quiet black and the easygoing blond, instead of vice versa, like they were in FFVII?

I seriously cannot wait for this game to come out. I recently saw, I think, the newest trailers for both FF XIII and FF Versus XIII and I think I'm in love! XD There's still no release date, I see from the previous post. Well, I guess that's ok... considering I don't have a PS3 yet. >_< Man, I wish those things weren't so expensive. >_< Anyway, it's still a game I am looking forward to and I think I will buy it even if I didn't have a PS3. XD

Update on the Battle System of FFXIII-A map is seen in the upper left hand corner of the battle screen, with blue dots representing allies and red dots signifying enemies. The dots emitting circles are the characters currently affected by the fighting. The upper right-hand corner of the battle screen shows a circular-shaped gauge, representing the Overclock mode. When full, Overclocking allows the player to induce a slow-motion effect, almost pausing time for everything other than the player. Once Overclock is activated, a rapidly decreasing number appears inside the circular gauge, signifying the duration of the Overclock status. Some believe that this system may replace the traditional Limit Break system found in previous Final Fantasy games. So this could be Lightning's previously-seen " Bullet Time"... Summons- Ifrit, Siren, Shiva and Carbuncle are confirmed to play parts in FFXIII. Summons take on a mechanical purpose in the game too (As seen with the Twin Shiva SIters Motorcycle utilized by Mr. 33cm), so it is unknown, yet speculated, if Summons will play prominent roles when in and out of battle. Farsi and Lusi-The names of the Farsi and Lusi of FFXIII have been revised and changed to fal'Cie and l'Cie, respectively. Release-A Square Enix representative suggested that a release date may be announced during 2008. At E3 2008, during Microsoft's media briefing, it was announced that Final Fantasy XIII would be released first in Japan on the PlayStation 3, then released simultaneously in North America and Europe along with an Xbox 360 port. The latter would start development only after that of the PlayStation 3 version is finished. At this point, a Japanese release of the Xbox 360 port is not planned. On FFVersusXIII-Battle System-Within recent Japanese gaming magazine interviews, Tetsuya Nomura has stated that Versus XIII's gameplay will be a realistic derivation of Kingdom Hearts battle system with some elements of a third-person shooter - similar to Square Enix's Dirge of Cerberus. Nomura has also stated that the game will stave off the light and magical aesthetic of his previous directorial games (i.e. Kingdom Hearts) and opt for a darker, bleaker world that is intended to counter previous Final Fantasy installments. In formulating a realistic world, Nomura has stated that he wants the characters to be "believable" and thus realistic. Nomura has also stated that Versus will possibly be the darkest Final Fantasy yet. The Prince's Telekinetic control over his weapons has been confirmed to be due to his family's Crystal. Tetsuya Nomura has also stated that he wants both FFXIII and Versus' batlle sequences to be never-before-seen "tricky" sequences, such as the quality of the CGI film, Final Fantasy VII; Adevnt Children ;D

Oh yeah, I saw that scan on FFXIII.net. Bit late for me to mention, then? :p
Also: Lightning is totally pimp slapping him in the corner of that scan. :B

I know. ;D Can't wait to get this game. And the afro guy with the baby Chocobo, Sazh Kalzroy, looks cool, I just hope they do the voice actors properly when it comes to the english version. Lightning would have to have one bad*ss VA ... maybe like Kukaku Shiba english VA from Bleach, or something along those lines.

Does anyone else think Squeenix compensated for his masculine looks a bit overmuch? I mean, BABY FRICKING CHOCOBO.
He's pretty cool, though. I think he'll be the most popular character EVER xD.

I agree; he even looks like he'd be fun, though I have to say I'm still quite taken with Snow, lol! He just keeps reminding me of Seifer from VIII.

Not to spoil the party, but I really, really think this game is going to suck. Not commercially, no - it's going to sell millions of copies, I don't doubt that - but judging from the trailers I've seen and such, it just feels like Square's lost its creativity. Everything's about "let's make it purtier!!!" now, and the lil'... THING that made all the old games great is missing.
I dunno, I think it's high time SE made another throwback FF like FFIX. That one was a good one.
Anyway. Don't mean to intrude.
