Forums - Microsoft - FF13 360 bundle. Hows it doing where you are?

markers on 07 March 2010

My gamestop told me 4:1 ps3 version over 360 version. They wouldn't give me the details on the bundle though. They didn't really check they just kinda told me, so kinda having a hard time believing them. They got some shady characters working there.

 

EDIT: This is pre-orders btw.

This is only word of mouth. Popped into my local Game today and didnt see any 360 FF13 bundle cases, but saw posters. Normally GAME ( UK's largest Game retailer ) has the cases promoted around the store for preorder. So I asked the guy behind the desk. He said both stores in my city have sold out of both the 360+FF13+faceplate bundle and the normal 360+FF13 bundle 24 hours after they recieved them in. He said loads have preordered as they had a good number in.

Sounds promising for M$ and Square.

More are coming, I was told. But they will probably go straight I was told. And if ( my mate ) wanted one he would have to check in the morning 2 days after or preorder from the 2nd patch now.

Seems like the Exclusive looking adds with the bundle here are working.

Hows it doing with your city?

Post when you have checked.

 


Thats good for MS then. It doesn't actually offer the bundle in the advert at the end, just shows the 360 consoles, so this could be by word of mouth

I mean preorders to. They are anticipating the 2nd batch after release to be gone quick to.

Yeah it does. We have the same advert as US. We all laughed when we saw it after Scrubs with LEona Lewis. But it does mention the exclusive special edition bundle.

How many do they have for each batch? Because that is a nice boost for the 360.

Selnor, go to this page. The first video is the one I just saw today during 30 Days of Night on Channel 4. The only different part is the man says it coming out on Tuesday, not soon:

I dont know. He didnt say. He said we had quite alot. So I'm guessing up there with most top amounts for bundles they get in. Who knows. But thought it was interesting. He literally said to my mate preorder now to get it 2 days after release or probably wait longer as it has loads of interest.

Thats a better ad imo, apart from the ending. The one I saw was longer and had windowed footage. Same song, but more of the song.

Man, how are customers picking these things up so quickly? Surely there must be a limit of how many forklifts are available in the area.
I mean, on top of the 360, a 26-disc set must be pretty heavy. I was pretty sure that in England, being slim was fashionable, right? How is this possible?

IT's preorders. They arent taking anymore preorders for first day release because the allocation is all gone.

But love the joke in your post about discs. LOL.

However I like more discs. Means different artwork on each. Even thought the game isn't gonna be to great by the sound of things. Looks as though som,e reviewers have rated it high because of the name. Alot of respected reviewers like EDGE and Gamesmaster gave Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia and Valkyria Chronicles a much higher score.
