Sorry to bump this thread, but it has to be done.
I got my copy of FFXIII about 30 minutes ago for a ridiculous price.
Behold:

Muahahahahaha....

Yeah....

Because everyone here can clearly understand japanese lol. I don't know if you paid 20, 100, 980 or 46 yen for that thing.

The unit price is 980 yen. Tax is 46 yen, but the tax is already included in the 980 yen price. He paid with a 1,000 yen bill and received 20 yen in change.

Yeah Japan is hugely front-loaded. Most of their games are, so if they over ship retailers take this hit (which I don't care anyways, I only care that SE got lots of $$$$$).

Do you really think that S-E won't suffer for this next time they release a game??



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

there's a reason why people aren't buying, and it's because its so linear

Is that the best you can do at damage control?

I expected better.

we all know the game flopped in jpn, so hes nt doing dmg control. Japan didnt like it linear, west did, so its doing amazing in west bt flopped in jpn. He is right.

dude ff13 is one ov my favrite games & evn i accpt its a flop in jpn compared to other ff's, a series must grow not shrink. In west FF13 is luking ike it will sell more than FF10 overall makng it 2nd best selling ff there and a big growth for the frnchise, in comparsn to success like tht in japan its a big flop. U need to luk at it in tht way.

it sold more in america in this week thn it has in jpn since the beginning of th year, it dusnt take einstein to relise ff13 is a big success in west but it is a flop in jpn, no two words about it.

The only reason I think FF XIII would outsell FF X is because of it's futuristic style.. thats about it..

Geez, at least it took Dragon Quest IX some 9-10 months to get a reduced price. This has gone straight to the bargain bin in about 4 months. Talk about over-extended hype.
