The limited edition package comes with Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, a special numbered PSP with artwork on the back by Tetsuya Nomura, Final Fantasy earbuds, and a Buster Sword cell phone strap. While he wasn't overly impressed with the package, it still seems like a pretty damn cool purchase to us. It will be interesting to see what the release of the limited edition PSP and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core will do to the weekly sales in Japan. It seems like it could pretty easily double the normal sales rate of the handheld there. Final Fantasy is magic like that.

Man, it would be awesome if Squenix released that psp in NA. I could easily hold out on buying a slim, if they released that bundle here.
I don't want Darth Vader on my psp. I'm a big Star Wars, but I'll pass on that. A GoW psp would sick as well.

I remember they did this for the PS3 launch too - businessmen paying homeless guys to wait in line for them, then selling the PS3 on online auction sites. I wonder how far we are from that in the US.

LOLZ on the Gaijins standing in line...
Good news that the PSP still lines em up. Now we need the games coming and higher attach rate, otherwise I fear 2008 will be the 'Beginning of the End' for the PSP market worldwide.

It's cool that they actually include the UMD boxes in that package, unlike with every other Sony PSP set.
Classy.

Yeah we have homeless in Japan. Even when you look at the maps on the sidewalk you can see the parks location and beneath it, it says "For People who cannot go home." But still doesn't look like NA bums though. They all look like they're having a fest or a picnic.

VGC has the first day number out. placing Crisis Core's selling number at 350K. for the FIRST day, I personally predict 550K for this week and 2 million in this lifetime in Japan. That should outsell Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and becoming the best selling PSP games in Japan.
I just got my copy from eBay today, FANTASTIC. I beg all the people here to go out and buy a copy when this comes to US and show the developers that if they make a good enough game, people will support it.
