Thinking of getting a PS3?
Final Fantasy fan?

You might want to consider waiting, it seems that the 250gb Playstation 3 'Lightning Edition' is coming to Korea!

Rumors are it will be priced at 550,000krw.
A bit pricey indeed but you can't deny it looks awesome Shocked

Most likely...either way it definitely won't be in English haha.

But hell, even if it didn't come with the game I'd be tempted.

A guy offered it to me today, because I was looking to buy a PS3 slim. I think it was less than that, but it does mean that it is out now.

Personally, even as a big Final Fantasy fan, I didn't want it. And not just because I would have to pay more for a game I couldn't play.

It does look nice as an abstract concept, but I wouldn't want that to be my system.

so is this a Japanese only system? Sorry for my ignorance, but I do not know much about region coding. Would American games play on this system? Or even Korean games?

I need to apologise, I may have been a bit misleading here. I was refeing to the 250gig PS3 not Final Fantasy bundle/game. Sorry if i got your hopes up.

All games are region free. Blu-Ray region is shared by Korea, Japan and the USA. DVD, you outta luck.

This obviously won't come out until FFXIII does--which is still a ways away.

There's an article on Kotaku saying that it will be released on January 29th, 2010 in Korea. It will be a Korean version of the game and system.

I don't believe I understood that correctly. You're saying no matter the location any game will play on any ps3?

Yup. I currently have a US ps3 and have 2 Japanese and 2 Korean games that I play once in a while. They all work.
