I got the Final Fantasy XIII limited edition console today. Why do they call it limited edition when nothing special about it? Nothing is on the system I seen except one little strip on the side saying Final Fantasy XIII in words is all. Top and bottom or controllers or anything else is just plain white. I got the Halo: Reach limited edition console also and at least it has something on controllers and not plain and a little writing on console itself too. So why is Final Fantasy so plain to be a limited edition one? Also I seen in all stores a Halo: Reach limited edition head set you can buy. Why didn't it come in the Halo: Reach limited edition console since everything suppose to be limited edition in the box instead of giving a plain head set?

Your answer is in your title...

It's limited, that's what special

What did you think was special about them when you brought them?

I thought be some detail or something on them making them special. Not just look like the other plain ones. To me the white one for Final Fantasy just looks like the normal white consoles to me, except that one little place, which could buy the emblem won't surprise me and stick it there if wanted looks like. Just to plain and looks like a normal one to me to be called a limited one.

I would never buy a limited edition console. I would feel like a total douche if I bought the LE MW2 xbox then MW3 comes out. I alway's thought they had something unique doesn't the FF13 xbox have artwork on the side or something?

No artwork at all on controllers or console for Final Fantasy XIII. Just like the normal ones. Plain white with nothing on top, bottom front or back or sides. just one side were vents are about the side of average human finger has the words "Final Fantasy XIII" is all. Only artwork is what you see on outside of box. Not happy with it. Only good thing I seen since I got it from Best Buy for 299.99 plus tax, which is around 327 total with tax. I see you get a 60 dollar game, 60 dollar controller and headset which I dont know if comes with normal systems or not, if not then add headset. Basically same price as system with no game, only reason I got it.

You would have been better off buying the Halo Reach console. I got one and I couldn't be happier. There's no mistaking it for a regular Xbox 360. It's quite nicely decorated with Halo insignia and stuff. I even got 2 special edition controllers.

Those by far are the most sexy Xbox 360 consoles made to date. I have always wanted one.

I purchased the Halo Reach console and totally satisfied with this purchase. I love the color and flat finish compared to the black glossy dust and scratch collector.

Limited, that means there's a limited stock of those 360's. Nothing really special about them, except the decal. I tried to trade my MW2 360 for a slim, but they would only give me £100 for it. So unless your some collector or just a big fan of the franchise, its not really worth buying.

the FF13 xbox has a few features that separated it from a normal one at the time it was released, its just now that the new 'slim' xbox is out that it doesnt seem that special

when it was released there were only 2 xbox's on the market, the arcade and the elite

the Final Fantasy xbox had a 250gb hdd which was bigger than the 120gb available on the elite, or the no hdd on the arcade, it also came in a white colour when the elite was black

the 250gb hdd also has the FF13 logo on it, which is not very obvious unless you actually look, but its still there and is unique, and that harddrive can only be got by buying that limited edition bundle

it also had a second controller in the box and a headset, neither of which came with the standard consoles, plus it contained a copy of the game FF13

so i would say it was certainly different enough from what was on the market at the time to be classed as a limited edition, maybe not as many differences as some other limited edition bundles, but still a unique console bundle
