As I'm sure you're aware, Square Enix's hyped-to-the-point-of-redundancy Final Fantasy XIII will be coming to both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America and Europe. But it currently remains a PS3 exclusive in its home country of Japan.As you are also aware, Sony loves them some Final Fantasy. The love it more than their own IPs. So, in a move that should surprise roughly no one, Sony took some time during their presser last night to announce a limited Final Fantasy XIII-themed PlayStation 3. Astounding!
The cleverly named PlayStation 3 Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Edition will be a white coloured PS3 slim with a light pink drawing of FFXIII's heroine, Lightning on the top. The system will contain a 250GB HDD and come bundled with a copy of the game.
The new bundle will be available on the same day as the game launches in Japan on December 17, 2009, and will retail for ￥41,600 (roughly $420 USD). A little pricy if you ask me, but I doubt that will stop any hardcore Final Fantasy enthusiasts.

Ugh, pink... If they bring this to the US but changed up the color scheme a little (and maybe include the game in the bundle too), I'll seriously consider it.
i would only buy a bundle pack if it was a better deal than (or at least the same price as) picking up both the console and the game separately.
...provided i didn't already have the console, of course.
but yeah, there's no way i would pay EXTRA to have a white and pink PS3. i think i would have to turn in my gender card somewhere.
