Square Enix Ltd. has announced that Microsoft and Square Enix have created two exclusive Xbox 360 FINAL FANTASY XIII Bundles to celebrate the launch of the game. The FINAL FANTASY XIII Bundles – the Special Edition and the Elite Bundle – are available to pre-order now, and will be available to buy in-store from 9th March, while supplies last.
In addition, anyone who pre-orders the Special Edition Bundle will receive a Limited Edition Faceplate created by legendary character designer Tetsuya Nomura. The Faceplates are only available promotionally in fixed quantities across select PAL retailers and while stocks last.
The Special Edition Bundle includes a 250GB Hard Drive engraved with the FINAL FANTASY XIII name, two Wireless Controllers, downloadable Avatar items (exclusive to the Special Edition) comprised of 1 x Rosch Outfit, 1 x Nabaat Outfit and a Chocobo pet for your Avatar, and a copy of FINAL FANTASY XIII, the forthcoming adventure in the multi-million-selling series.
The Elite Bundle includes a 120GB black Hard Drive, one Wireless Controller and a copy of FINAL FANTASY XIII.
Larry Sparks, Vice President Brands PAL Region of Square Enix Ltd. comments, “FINAL FANTASY XIII is one of the most anticipated entertainment releases of all time and we’re pleased to be working with Microsoft to offer gamers across PAL territories the chance to pre-order and buy one of these special Bundles and own a piece of gaming history.”
According to the press release, these two bundles will be released across PAL territories, but we have to assume that the North American bundles will be VERY similar, if not exactly the same.
