Reserve Crisis Core, snag a piece of faux Shinra history

Reserve Crisis Core, snag a piece of faux Shinra history photo
     Final Fantasy

It's a solid fact that Final Fantasy VII is one of the most-oft requested remakes of all time. Square has yet to oblige, but they have made Crisis Core, a PSP title that tells the story of Zack, Cloud's "real" counterpart in the original FFVII. If you don't have a PSP, you may as well wait as all of us who do stagger to the game stores of the world salivating, play the damn thing, and give it a verdict.

If you do already own a PSP and you preorder the title, you will get this nifty UMD case with it with the Shinra logo stamped on it. Yeah, it's not as cool as a working replica of Barret's arm or anything, but I don't complain about free. The participating locations are Amazon.com, Game Crazy, Gamestop and EB Games, so if you want to score one get on down there and wave your Buster sword around. That'll confuse em.

Alright, something for me to not look forward too considering it'll be God of War season. Sorry, maybe you shouldn't have been released with the better game.

"a working replica of Barret's arm"

That should totally be the pre order bonus for the FFVII remake, whenever Squuenix gets around to making it. :)

being that I've never beat the original, I don't know if I can award myself with this.

Crisis Core themed PSPs are better than silly unneeded cases.

I so want that, but I have no idea why. I would never, ever use it.

I'll pre-order this even though I don't even have a PSP.

Having a case is decent for traveling and this looks like a cool option. But, honestly, buying a big Memory Stick Pro Duo is probably a better option because you can just rip your games straight to it.

...working replica of Barret's arm...

I would not hesitate in the slightest to have my left hand removed and have in its place a series of biomechanical enhancements grafted in its place.

On a related note, if Barret could get all that other shit, why couldn't he just get a new hand?

Ill definitely be buying this, been waiting for it for ages. Now if only they'd make a PS3 remake of FF7.

Buy a PSP and get Crisis Core now, or wait until the inevetable PS2 port? Decisions, decisions.
