extra $30-$50 gets u a few pictures and a music cd, woopee...

cant wait for this to come out, looks really good. Finally looks like there is a game on ps3 with a story that lasts longer than 8hrs

ill probably get it because i want the soundtrack.

edit: just re-read it. so you only get a selection of the music, not the soundtrack? lame

u know u will b able to get the selection of music cd from torrents for free ;)

yet another piss poor CE. id get it if it had a kick ass limited edition final fantasy figurine... but it even lacks that...

Heh, I remember one of the register jockeys at EB trying to tell me the collectors edition might include FF7/FF8 and they would also be available separately on the PSN/Live stores.

It was a nice rumor, I wouldn't mind playing FF7 again :/

It was almost 4 years ago when they did a Tech Demo showing what it would look like on a PS3 too



Such a tease

ff7 is available to buy on the psn store. ff8 was released in japan a little while ago so will probably be on our store soon.

Not the full soundtrack = s***. OOOOOOO an art book that you'll never look at. Yeah thats real worth the extra $30 it's gonna be. Another fail "collector" edition. As cool as a FF7 remake/update would be I don't see it happening. Neither do most people at square either

well they havent actually said no to a remake, just that there are no plans yet.

they blooy well should though. the fans want it so they would make a s***load from it.

Yeah it's like a lisense to print money that game. Re-release it on the FF13 engine and watch people go bats*** insane to get a copy

It was bound to have a CE, Its a benchmark in FF history...Again<.< lol
I pre ordered mine through EB so i get a calendar ((Woot))
However to the point of this CE, Its way better than the Bioshock 2 CE,
A 12" vinyl? Who the hell uses that anymore? its good for a god damn frisbee!!!
However i keep watching the english cinematic with the "My hands" song, It is a F-ing great trailer I don't care if anyone thinks the song is slow or anything, the way its put into that trailer is amazing,
On the note of FF8 hitting PSN, i hope it does, I saw it at Gametraders for 180$, Like hell am i paying that<.<
20$ on PSN ftw<.<

do RPG's from Japan really need/deserve their own sub-RPG classification?
