FF13 sells out on Amazon Japan; Profiteers charge $150 for spare copies

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:35:51 GMT

It looks like FF13 could be heading for some severe shortages in Japan and those who ordered early are set to profit from it.

A day before the game releases in Japan, Amazon Japan have closed down orders for Final Fantasy XIII, stopping anyone who hasn't already preordered from obtaining the game through them.

Already profiteers who ordered multiple copies of the game have seen their chance to sell the game for extra - and copies are selling for 13,500 Yen online. That's 4250 yen more than the standard retail price with tax.

That's 47 dollars more than the regular asking price and 150 US dollars! You can see the Amazon Japan listing here - those who speak the lingo will be able to see the game has been removed from further sale.

Square Enix is unlikely to have printed few copies of its biggest blockbuster, so it's likely demand for FF13 is far more than seen - meaning that FF13 could see PS3 sales rocket in Japan. Play-Asia recently told us it was their most preordered import title this generation.

Wonderwallweb Writes:

I have no doubt that once we see more of Gran Turismo 5 we will be very impressed as I'm hoping that the presentation issues will be fixed with some last minute touch ups. As the game stands at the moment it is unfortunately quite a bit off the quality of the Forza 3's of this world, however there is time for that to change and I'm sure it will.

MW2 Multiplayer Is a Hot Mess

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:59:28 GMT

DualShockers writes:

Infinity Ward brought us Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which many gamers were calling a masterpiece and possibly the next best thing since sliced bread, but alas it seems the franchise has taken a sharp turn into a dark region, known as the crap zone. The multiplayer on each platform is plagued with issues from players having the ability to hit their 10th prestige without earning it on the PS3, to players having speed hacks on the PC version, to just an utter loss of control of matches on the Xbox 360.
