The new 160gb playstation 3 FFVII bundle which is releasing on april 16th is priced at around 68,000 yen, by doing some converting, it seems the console is nearly $700 USD(or about 510 euro, or 460 pounds)

Its insane to think of it, and its selling better than the 80gb PS3 at the moment in amazon japan. To think its just an 80gb ps3 with double the HDD, and a blu-ray movie. IN comparison the 160gb Uncharted bundle retails for $500 USD in the U.S

Comparing 80gb model from USA... to 160GB model in Japan is not fair.

That's ridiculous.

FF7 is just an exploit.

awesome this looks so awesome, can i import it,

i would like sony to release this bundle in the states, mainly cause i want a designed ps3 to go along with my regular one.

looks awsome but price is a chash in rip off

Power of Final fantasy 7 lol.

Erm... it's not $700, it's 68,000 Yen.

Currency conversion is useless because if the US Gov't printed a load of notes tomorrow, without any changes in the demand for the dollar, then the dollar would decrease rapidly and the PS3 would get a price hike!

No, it wouldn't. It would still be 68,000 Yen.

Or, what if, for whatever reason, the demand for the dollar went through the roof, and thus it became worth a whole lot more. The 160gb PS3 with FFVII could drop to $100. OMG, Japan gets things so cheap!

No, it would still be 68,000 Yen.

If it has BC, it's worth it.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Japanese PS3(insert model information) value includes the sales tax.
