Hmm, i wonder if they will give the same item with the ps3 release..I want to buy the pc and ps3 versions.

I don't think the in-game items are completely useless. After the early areas of the game I'm sure they will be. IMO the goggles are really just to catch up the folks who didn't get it 8 days early. I paid the extra 25 bucks at Gamestop for my CE version for the collectibles, the journal, the map, the decorative box, and the early access.

Also realize that this release is probably going to be more like an Open Beta. I highly doubt that if WoW Cataclysm wasn't coming out that they would have released in September instead of doing a long Beta. That is, unless, they had an extremely successful Alpha phase.

I'll probably end up buying the PS3 CE edition too. Oh SE, sometimes you just give us the biggest finger up the tooter. Gotta buy new PC parts and buy your game twice, not to mention the monthly fees.

I went by gamestop and they told me they still weren't doing pre orders for the CE
I had ordered the regular one since feb, i think he's just being a lazy biotch. I'll have
to pass by later next week

Go order online tonight at Gamestop.com. They are doing a temporary bonus if you pre-order the CE version before 7/2/10 at 11:59 AM where you get free overnight shipping! The promotional code is FFXIV. You'll save 10 bucks.

sounds good but thing is i already paid in full for the regular in a local store so i don't want to be
out of my 50 dollars

what you can do is when do actually offer it in stores, is you can upgrade it. they've always done so with other games as long as its not "sold out"

Is there any news when FFXIV will have a OPEN beta?

As per usual i read alot of crap on this website so i cant recall an exact article, but towards the end of the beta it will be open for stress testing.

Hopefully you can respond this this in time but does that mean that you would be getting it delivered on the 22nd or 23rd?

Sorry! It ships on the 22nd, so you'd probably get it late that day or on the 23rd.

Is it so freaking hard to put out a game to ps3? waited for red dead redemption for a couple of weeks too, but not 6 months!

This is indeed sad news for the people who planned to play on their beloved PS3, such as myself, now I am forced to get a whole new computer... well I planned to get one but I wouldn't mind waiting... oh well...

Thanks SE, you've changed my life.

Ok I wasn't losing my mind. I noticed all the stores had RDD out for 360 but I figured they were all out for PS3. I looked on the webz and it said it was being released on both consoles. I didn't know it got released later though, I just thought everywhere I went was sold out >.<

I would rather have separate release dates for the pc than the ps3, than the japanese have a one year head start again.


ps: im not saying it wouldnt be nice having it both release on the pc and ps3 :P

Sad about PS3 release. I guess I'll be buying a graphics card for my laptop, haha.
