February 11, 2010 - A new Final Fantasy XIII-themed Xbox 360 bundle appears to be headed to North American shores. 

A listing found on Microsoft's 'Expertzone' retailer website displays the new bundle, complete with package shots and details. The bundle is said to include a limited edition console, two wireless controllers, a 250GB harddrive, AV and network cables, a headset, and a copy of the game, of course. No release date was given, but it looks like it will cost $399. 

Square-Enix did release a special edition PlayStation 3 bundle, but it was limited to only Japan. 

We contacted Square-Enix for comment and will provide an update when we hear back. 

Update: Microsoft has confirmed the bundle, saying it will be available on March 9 in limited quantities. Special faceplates will also be available. Official word below: 

The Xbox 360 "FINAL FANTASY XIII" Special Edition Bundle includes a 250GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, exclusive downloadable avatar items and a standard-edition copy of the dramatic sequel in the multimillion-selling series. Xbox 360 is the only console outside of Japan to be bundled with the game, available in stores starting March 9, while supplies last. In addition, a very limited number of "FINAL FANTASY XIII" Limited Edition Faceplates have been created by designer Tetsuya Nomura. These faceplates are only available promotionally in fixed quantities across select retailers in Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand

I've got a feeling this bundle is a rip-off but I might be wrong:

Arcade(controller included): $199.99

Controller: $49.99

Game: $59.99

HDD: A PS3 400GB HDD is worth 80$ so a $250 HDD must be cheaper.

And it doesn't have the faceplate...I don't think the avatars are worth the price.

If it's a bundle, it should be more cheap...$299 looks better.
