It says something about a code there, I have not got a clue. Maybe it was for pre-orders or for the people who registered the FFXIII in the site, no idea.

Yeah, I think that's it.
They were doing all kinds of testing, but my comp can't handle it. That's why I have to wait for the PS3 beta to start.

When I applied thats what I applied for... PS3 beta... Other than that I ain't heard nothing back.

Got this this morning.

Nice! I can't do any of the PC stuff, but when the PS3 beta rolls around we can start up the /\ Guild!

My guess would be December/A month before the release.

PS3 version isn't released until March 7th.
Got a printout from GameStop yesterday for all the upcoming PS3 releases. They are subject to change, of course. You know the game companies.

Yeah but I also know gamestop. Half the people working there know nothing.
