It's in line with DVD prices when the format started just as DVD prices were in line with VHS prices.

yea, japanese blu-rays prices are insane. i'm not sure why.

Japanese media has always been more expensive. An album typically cost 3000yen and PS3 games are going for around 6000-7000 yen.

Take it from me (as someone who played it at Square UK last week) if he had actually played it with how hot Square is on this shit right now he'd be keeping his mouth shut. Just wait 'til Friday, which is when I believe any Western press who've played it are allowed to talk. It's our date anyway.

Did you get invited? Or you working for a magazine/website?

:lol Touché.

I guess a good analogy would be Ocarina of Time versus Twilight Princess. One is clearly inspired by the other, but it ends up feeling diluted (despite a bit more polished) in the overall atmosphere it gives. TP's most common complaint is that it didn't try to distance itself from OoT. All I fear for is that FFXIII won't get its own identity.


...that post made more sense in my head.

It made sense to me, and I'll be sure to use it as a compalint when the game comes out

I'm getting it too.

The movie is going straight to eBay, but the demo will be mine forever.

Paid $65 with free shipping.
Thanks coupon!

I have the Blu-Ray. The demo is OK, nothing groundbreaking. Reminded me of FFXII battle system which I didn't like that much (but still spent 120 hours in it). It's a visual feast too.

Wtf? The FFXIII battles really don't remind me of FFXII.

This is only JRPG I've been interested in for the past few years. I've kind of burnt myself out on them but I'm hoping that this rekindles my love of the genre. Can't wait to hear some impressions!

Is the demo going to be included with the US release of AC Complete BR?
Click to expand...

Nope. Going by Squeenix's moneyhatted attitude towards the west, I doubt we are going to see anything FFXIII demo related before a 360 version is ready.

Knowing MS, there will probably be some kind of special edition. Perhaps SCEA should jump on the wagon too if they know what's good for them.

I think it's cause the VHS pricing was more intended for rental shops, but when the DVD switch happened, people were still buying them at that price anyway. At least with music DVD's and some movies, a lot of the companies eventually release price-downed versions. Hopefully that happens with BD's as well.

yea, Japan is similar to HK where people don't normally buy home video. it's more of a rental market so i guess that's one of the main reasons. but i'm glad HK Blu-rays are cheaper than Japan. altho that's not saying much considering an average HK Blu-ray is $30-40.

I love this screenshot, it shows some in game exploration elements and NPC conversations! It looks great, we're gonna get a whole FF with graphics like these.

Is this serious? Japan gets it that soon? Does that leave a possibility for a US Fall release? Or are we look at next year? How long does Square usually take? One month? Two? Six?
