MrWonderful5762d ago

i will be importing this bad boy.

gano5762d ago

Tho i'm pretty sure it'll be very costly.

J@D5762d ago

Look like I'm not alone... but the BluRay are region lock isn't? If the demo comes into the same BluRay and not as standalone BluRay there going to be some REAL problem with this. I hope the demo comes on a second disc*

Marceles5762d ago

Most Blu-ray discs aren't region locked...but Square might do it just to be an A-hole and keep it Japan exclusive as much as they can

iamtehpwn5762d ago

this is never coming to NA/EU. =|

Ghoul5762d ago

japan and america share the same bluray region code

the only screwed ones are us europeans

J@D5762d ago

Oh, man... those words are going to stress a few people ^__^

gambare5762d ago (Edited 5762d ago )

I'm going to give you some good news guys.

check the BD regions, The US region and the JP region are the same (1), so you can import Japanese BD releases and play it on the US PS3, so you will be able to play the FFXIII demo included in the BD

edit: duh... ghoul got it first :P but I will have to agree with him

meepmoopmeep5762d ago

i'm sure a NA/EU version will come.
i'm importing but once the west versions come out i'll buy it again :P

DJ5762d ago

They better release it here though.

J@D5762d ago

Hmmm, I'm not sure myself. If this movie receive the same treatment as the "INTERNATIONAL" games... there only 2 words that comes to my mind: NOT HOPE!

Doppy5762d ago

This will be great for Japan, but can also be great for US if it's not region locked. Please Square no lock.

meepmoopmeep5762d ago

this bump in 360 sales for Tales will pale in comparison to the bump in PS3 sales once this is released in Japan.

i guarantee this.

eagle215762d ago

I double guarantee this bro. :)

J@D5762d ago

I triple guarantee it! =P

Panthers5762d ago

I havent seen Advent Children yet and I was going to wait until it came to BR. If this isnt coming to the US, then I will be a sad panda.

J@D5762d ago

As mentioned before Japan and US share the same region over the BluRay format. U can easily import it if u want unless ur are a little sensitive with the high cost of shipping and that kind of stuff.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie1d 18h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow1d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

ApocalypseShadow19h ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 9h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow19h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX2d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney14h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

1d 13h ago
fsfsxii1d 15h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 13h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
