BLU Final Fantasy VII Advent Children "Cloud Black" Playstation 3
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» Sony hasn't gone overboard with Playstation 3 console variants in the past few years. We're attributing the scarcity of variants to the relatively high price point of the console. This year however, Sony has already released three PS3 variants - The Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 Rise Dragon PS3, the Biohazard 4 Tricell PS3, and today's FFVII Cloud Black PS3. The third Playstation 3 variant for 2009 was released to Japanese retail last night and NCS is shipping them out to preorders this afternoon. The contents of the bundle are as follows:

» Playstation 3 160GB console decorated with the Cloudy Wolf imprint
» Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete Limited Edition Blu-Ray
» Final Fantasy XIII playable preview for Playstation 3
» Dual Shock 3 controller

   The packaging for the bundle is decorated with a somber image of Cloud where he glares out into the world while the Buster Sword is slung over his shoulder. As mentioned in our bullet list above, the FFXIII "Cloud Black" Playstation 3 features a white ink etching of the Cloudy Wolf on the top shell - the Cloudy Wolf is Cloud Strife's personal symbol.

   The version of FFVII Advent Children Complete that's included inside the "Cloud Black" package also sports a variant cover which features the same Cloudy Wolf etching that's featured on top of the PS3 console.

   Most preorders for the Cloud Black PS3 bundle are shipping today but please note that some shipments are still in transit and are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. All remaining preorders will ship on Friday when our second batch of shipments arrive. Thanks.

NCS FFVII AC Blu-Ray Synopsis
 «©NCSX» The original DVD version of FFVII Advent Children was released in September 2005 and NCS recalls the wonderment in the room as we watched Cloud and company emote, attack, and act with a realistic semblance of humanity. Square's story telling chops and CG renders had come a long way since the days of... Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Fast forward four years and we're treated to another rendition of the FFVII Advent Children movie but this version's special. It's got roughly 30 minutes of new/re-edited footage and the Blu-Ray video quality is stunning. You can see that every strand of Cloud's shabby chic blonde locks is rendered with both love and adoration by the designers.

   FFVII AC Complete is a Japanese product and viewers may watch the movie in its original Japanese language track or toggle to the English language track. Please note however that the subtitles are only available in Japanese. Square Enix also throws in a playable preview of Final Fantasy XIII (Japanese language only) for the Playstation 3 which is mastered on a separate disc. Preorders are shipping today but new orders that were submitted yesterday after 8:30AM EST will ship tomorrow when our second batch of shipments arrive.
