Limited edition FFVII: Crisis Core PSP Slim bundle coming to Japan

Excited for Crisis Core? And the PSP Slim? Then prepare yourself to be double mega super excited (that's almost a Street Fighter title). Square Enix, king of the limited edition handheld hardware, is releasing a very limited edition PSP Slim for its release of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core. The console will be bundled with the game as well as a Buster Sword wrist strap, to make you look extra geeky. The PSP itself will be silver in colour and will feature the Final Fantasy VII 10th anniversary logo as well as some artwork of Zack, Sephiroth and Cloud, presumably drawn by Nomura.
The special edition PSP Lite will be limited to only 77,777 pieces, with each one bearing its serial number on its back. The other interesting thing is that it releases on September the 13th, a week before the PSP Lite itself launches in Nihonland. We expect it to sell out on day one, though we hope it'll still be available when we touch down for the Tokyo Game Show. We would pay ridiculous amounts of money for one of these. Honestly. Ridiculous amounts.

ME WANTS! ME WANTS!! FF7 fanboyism in overdrive, must...control myself!
Unfortunately, judging by Squenix's history, I doubt this will ever see the light of day in NA.
That settles it, I'm gonna have to be retarded, and now buy two slim psps, since I'll be unable to watch NA umds on this one.
Btw, somebody please post when these go on sale.

hopefully when crisis core does come out in US. we will get this bundle, much better then all the US bundles.

Sony will never release this to the US, likely because they feel that Final Fantasy is as popular, maybe more than Star Wars here. I mean, they made a Final Fantasy Potion drink. Expect to never need a release outside of Japan and expect to get raped for one off of eBay. Too bad. I would be willing to pay a lot extra for this.

*Sony will never release this to the US, likely because they feel that Final Fantasy is as popular(in Japan), maybe more than Star Wars is here.
Fixed.

rockeranimefreak @ Jul 17th 2007 5:53PM
i really really want one i would pay upwards of 270.00 for one of these! :)
kingofwale @ Jul 17th 2007 6:32PM
Oh come ON!!! I wanted a FF version of PSPlite when from E3. and please tell me US is getting it.
make it 777,777 units for outside of Japan. :)
does it come with the game?
Kxpuc @ Jul 17th 2007 7:06PM
i have the limited addition of Advent Children. number 71,000 something out of 77,777. Dunno about buying the same for the PSP
pixelator @ Jul 17th 2007 7:28PM
I'd go for it, but I'm still probably going to settle for the Vader edition.
I agree with others - it'll likely never see the light of day in NA.
Hashbrown_Hunter @ Jul 17th 2007 8:21PM
...and I would pay you ridiculous amounts to pick one up for me when you go there :)
and yeah, this is a lot cooler than a Star Wars bundle. What if the Star Wars game sucks? Then it'll be a waste of money!! But everyone knows this will NOT suck so everyone wants it and it'll be worth the money!!
sigh...oh well...
Gaffmiester @ Jul 17th 2007 9:31PM
Yeah, sucks that the PSP wont be coming out to US...That's when eBay comes in hand. CAN I GET AN AMEN BROTHAZ!!.
Meh, can live without it, I only really want the game (Crisis Core) itself which we will be seeing in the US early next year. CAAAN YOOUUU DIIG IIIIIIIIT!!!

That's just awesome, incredibly awesome. I don't know how anyone can even question buying this. I mean, how can anyone say no?
insane257 @ Jul 19th 2007 10:15AM
What site will let me import one into the UK? I MUST HAVE IT !!!! let me know...
areli @ Jul 19th 2007 3:43PM
Play-Asia better sell this bundle. This is my chance to get an awesome PSP! A PSP lite! With Cloud Zack and Sephiroth on the back! I cant see myself not having this! -starts saving up munnies-
Thomas @ Jul 20th 2007 10:13AM
Why not make a million of these limited edition packs... the goal is to sell psp units.. and if having FFVII artwork on the back gets it to sale then offer it to everyone. What if Nintendo only came out with 77,000 pokemon yellow DS units..... they'd be doing themselves a disservice

I am totally goin have to order this. I need the new PSP anyways, and my current one is Japanese so i dont need to worry about gettin a NA one to play movies. MMMM!!! Squenix...i

o-oh mother, I want D: we have two PSPs in this household(dad has one, I have one), we don't need a third! b-but the shiny, god the shiny.
Peter @ Sep 2nd 2007 5:14AM
I'm getting one to save because it is a collectors
item. It's well worth it's value and in time it will
go up. Check out www.games-asia.com
They deliver worldwide and there's no shipping
cost's.

Mine should be coming tomorrow ! I bought it on Ebay & I live in the UK, it says it has no Compatibility problems, if it does, I'm sending it's arse right back !
