HMV throwing FFXIII party today News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

On Oxford Street in cor blimey London.

Final Fantasy XIII launches here today and HMV Oxford Street, London, is having a party.

A party with talent signings, hand-outs and quizzes as well as free soundtrack CDs for anyone dressed up. Please do.

There are even extra copies of the Collector's Edition on offer, and this has sold-out almost everywhere else.

You're invited, and need simply turn up at HMV on Oxford Street at 5.30pm today to take part.

We've not only reviewed Final Fantasy XIII but compared the PS3 and Xbox 360 builds to find out which is best.

It's hosting the launch party for the poorly received FFXIII-2.

What about High Wycombe?

Sorry, I thought we were mentioning "Towns of the United Kingdom nobody gives a shit about".

"hand-outs"

They shouldn't have said that... Now you will get immigrants and dole-bums flocking to the scene.

Finally, a good excuse for wearing a lip gloss and a dress...

Only to find out that they're both shit.

im struggling to see how EG thinks the CE edition is sold out. play.com alone seems to have plenty in stock as in their sales chart they seem to be pretty low compared to the game itself. the ps3 version might be a little harder to get hold of most placed but play.com seem to have some healthy stock on both formats. apart from the art book tho there is hardly anything tht can be labelled 'collectible' in there tho

This isn't even a great FF game or Jrpg...Read many reviews Metacritic. The game is good to average in many scores!

Story is weak, graphics are nice but static and background view hardly much interaction, 1st 25hrs is just a slog, then several several hrs of useless FMV...Only then it opens up - but very static! There are much better rpg's out there.

We've [...] compared the PS3 and Xbox 360 builds to find out which is best.

And a fun time was had by all.

edit: oh wait, I remember now. No, there wasn't.

my prediction: it'll be a shambles, they're incapable of organising anything at that store.

Hope Leona casts a shield spell on herself before she goes. Can't really risk another punch in the face

Eh?

Bigglesworth says pretty much exactly the same thing as me, gets a plus two while I get minus 11? Fuck you you eurogamer cuntbags!

@geeza
Not actually the same thing at all.

Besides, I am devastatingly good-looking.
