Oh wow, that’s not a bad deal for the Blu-ray movie. I wouldn’t bother spending that much for the demo either especially since I imagine Square Enix releasing it for free on PSN later to push FFXIII.

Yeah, I mean we've seen a lot from the FFXIII trailer, chances are the demo wouldn't show us much more than that.

I just pre-ordered my copy from Amazon. It's kind of funny when I think about it, honestly the movie isn't even that good since it's mostly one crazy action scene after another w/ impossible camera angles, then it kind of grows on you. Actually I bought both the Jpn & US DVDs at full price when they first came out, yet I'm still falling for this Blu-ray for the extra ~25 min footage, at least the price is not bad here. The only thing I'm not looking forward to seeing, more whiny Denzel, can't stand the kid.

No not aware… I haven't really tested the site with console browsers. I guess it's the Javascript stuff that's blocking it. :(

Ah, good to hear. I think this is the first forum I have joined since usenet back in the day. The clientele here definitely seem more interesting/civilized than I generally see on video game websites. I actually tried to post multiple times in the past unsuccessfully, but I just recently purchased a replacement for my old, broken PC. Are you aware your forums seem to be incompatible with Wii and PS3? (Or is it just me?)

Don't be afraid of a lynching. Siliconera is a friendly place :). FFVII was originally $50 and it's not that $15 is a ton of money, but for all of the other downloadable PSN games are like $6 or less. If (when?) Square Enix releases it here it will probably be less.

Doh, before I read the rest of the post, I thought finally some use for the 1000 yen I have left in my Jpn PSN acct, then I saw the price gouging :(..

I know it's 3 discs and all, but I got Xenogears, Policenauts, & Metal Gear Solid all for 600 yen each. Also I still have the original FF7 import, it would be nice to be able to play it again on the PS3/PSP, but at 1,500 yen (~$18 effectively ) I'm not getting it.

BTW, Amazon has the ACC Blu-ray up for $26.99, doubt it would come w/ the FF13 demo, but I'm definitely getting the US ver, no demo is worth the extra $40. I know I'm price conscious, what can you do.

I hate to say this for fear of lynching, but I never actually finished FF VII. I dunno, I never liked the look of first-gen polygons, and skill-wise the characters did not seem unique enough. It felt to me as if a character was little more than the sum of their materia. Anyways, ugly graphics always look better on a smaller screen, and something about handheld gaming is somehow inherently more enjoyable to me. I do not recall how much this game originally retailed for, but I would gladly pay $15 to take another crack at it on my PSP.

I think it's more that the game is over a decade old (not necessarily a bad mark, but let's face it, FF7 hasn't aged well) and doesn't physically exist. But I agree. It's a reasonable price.

(Sony being cool enough to have Xenogears and FF7 on PSN stateside would almost convince me alone to buy a PS3)

This.

Most of the PSone releases on PSN i've seen are all single disc, so 3 discs for 15$ seems fair enough. (Though i'm sure as you said, Square knows they can get away with it)

Most likely this (or the original FF7 anyway) is yet another release that we'll never see on stateside PSN. If so, i'll be more than a bit dissapointed in Sony since the demand is definitely there from PS3 owners, but they're just not delivering.

Correct, the International version is just the American release with Japanese text.
