$168 Price Increase for Lightning Edition PS3 Bundle

[moogling]

Fans who wanted to order the 'Lightning Pink' Limited Edition Final Fantasy XIII PS3 console have been told they'll have to pay $168 more than initially advertised.

The only major website offering import preorders of the Lightning Pink FF13 Console NCSX has emailed fans who preordered the Lightning Edition Playstation 3 to tell them that the price has changed due to changes in the allocation of the consoles by Square Enix.

Square Enix told retailers over the weekend that they are only selling 4 Lightning Bundles to retailers for every 100 copies of Final Fantasy XIII purchased - meaning demand - and price - has risen sharply.

The Lightning bundle includes a special edition PS3 console with a unique design and a copy of FF13 and originally retailed at $529.90.

Fans who want to keep their orders will have to pony up around another $168, raising the overall price to $698.77.

Not Worth it, speciallly if u already own a ps3. That right theres worth 2 ps3s and the FFXlll ones pink!? How gay. But on the other hand they can turn around and sell it on ebay later on if they wanted and make some profit if its as rare as they say its going to be.

It's not really that expensive, I paid the same price for my PS3 when I got it a month after release so it wouldn't bother me, there'd just be no point since my PS3 works perfectly fine. The only gripe I could see people having is the fact the PS3 is now down to £250 so that would be £170 more expensive than the normal PS3 =|

I was actually considering buying this version, but I don't know if I'm willing to fork out any more money than I need to pay for a PS3.

Might just go with the good old black one.

By the way I really don't like the new slim version of the PS3. >.<
