Final Fantasy XIII To Cost $US89 In Japan?

That red kiosk is called “Loppi”. It’s located in Japanese convenience store Lawson. It’s a ticket selling machine, but customers can also go shopping and even pre-order video games and consoles.

The Loppi screen lists the Xbox 360, the PSP 2000 and right below that? Final Fantasy XIII. The game is priced at ¥8,240 (AU$106) and pre-orders start September 9 at 10.00am.

For comparison’s sake, Tales of Vesperia for the PS3 is priced at ¥7,800 (AU$101) and Bayonetta is priced at ¥7,980 (AU$103).

Square Enix has announced that FFXIII is out “This Winter”.
