250GB Final Fantasy XIII PS3 Slim bundle + Boxart Revealed

[Vidboy10]

As expected, Sony has finally unveiled a 250GB version of the new PS3 Slim, though for now it will appear in Japan only.

The upsized console, shown off at the 2009 Tokyo Game Show, will be offered as the Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Edition for 41,600 yen ($459) due in mid-December. Besides doubling the storage capacity, this model will be available in white and features a Final Fantasy character printed on the console's chassis. A copy of Final Fantasy XIII is bundled in the package, too. We'll have to wait to see whether this kit will subsequently make its way out of Japan to other regions. We're keeping our fingers crossed for now.

On a separate note, things are looking bright for the PS3 Slim so far with a whopping 1 million units sold worldwide in just three weeks.

BTW, I wouldn't bitch about the boxart.
The FF Boxarts in Japan are always simplistic.

ha i'm gonna preorder this so i can sell it on ebay in a year lol

I like the way the console looks. But I'm not a big fan of the FFXIII boxart.

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

Damn. Too bad it'd cost around $600 to import this to the U.S., I'm sure.

Oh.my.god. That is the most beautiful creation of a gaming console I have ever seen. I know what I'm getting for Christmas!?

And I was expecting...more from the Box Art? Are you sure thats the official box art and not just something they put on display? I mean, they still have about 2 months left.

It makes me think how you could of missed this...

My mom will probably get me a PS3 Slim around that time... if it gets released in the US I'll definitely pick it up unless something better comes up.

(I wonder what happened to that PS3 modchip? And too bad it doesn't incorporate all the features that the 60GB had... then it would have been even more kickass to me)

 

[Twiffles]

Well there goes a sizable chunk of my money.

PS3 looks great, boxart looks terribad.

I honestly didn't but it was shown late last night and I was sleepy so I was going to post it in the morning along with the Cross Treasures trailer but I woke up late. And I forgot all about them at school so...

That Pegasus thing on the boxart looks pretty cool.

What's the point of having a boxart that uses up all the white space? This boxart isn't terrible at all.

And if you think about it, they may have done it so the console and box match.

There may be another boxart.

The modchip isn't in existence it was proven fake. Sony may be putting PS2 games up on the PSN so there may be BC as a firmware update.

i like my white's slim

this looks pretty sexy.

 

[luke_c]

That's the sexiest console i'v ever seen, no way am i selling my 60GB Fat though.

 

[Zerrix]

Me. Want This. Now.

 

[gamerjr]

*tear falls down face* I hope the release a version in the US. i would pay for that... idc about the cheap ones if i could have that.

 

[shakirmoledina]

the console is just gr8 but same comments for the boxart as everyone else...very well done design
will this game be gr8ter than ff7 or even equal to ff3 on the snes (when it was released)?

[da_head]

wow pink and white? that looks fuckin pimp. too bad i don't have the $$ for it

 

[Schizoanalysis]

Is there some way to country-mod a PS3? I mean, if I was to import one, could I mod it at least to play PAL games?

 

[Chanser]

All PS3 retail games are region free, no need to mod it. Just movies aren't region free.
