Sony Final Fantasy VII edition PS3

Posted in PS3 by Conner Flynn on January 19th, 2009

Sony Final Fantasy VII edition PS3Final Fantasy is the game series that just won’t die. Like the Godfather Michael Corleone, everytime you are out they keep pulling you back in. The latest incarnation is the re-release of Advent Children, and Sony’s celebrating with another special edition console to celebrate it.

The upgraded movie apparently features 30 extra minutes of animation action. The new PS3 itself features a 160GB HDD and a matte “Cloud Black” paint job with Cloud’s Strike Wolf emblem applied on top. The bundle that comes with the movie and includes a demo of Final Fantasy XIII will sell for about $550 in Japan when it arrives next month.

Evangelion USB Flash DriveFans of Japanese manga Evangelion will love this USB flash drive inspired by the series so much that they’ll toss their old flash drives aside. Then there are those who will keep it in the box and preserve it like an Egyptian mummy in the hopes that it is a collector’s item that will make them rich one day. Dream big my geek friends. Dream big. When was the last time you heard someone say, “I’m so glad I kept that USB drive in the box. It made me the millionaire I am today.” Whatever the case, the flash drive is designed like the Mecha’s cockpit and will come in 2GB capacities. Just use the damn thing!

Anime girl PC casemod is the work of nerd desperation
What’s a nerd to do when one day you wake up and realize that there’s no woman in your life and there likely never will be? You create your own woman, that’s what! One who will carry your PC on her back like Luke carrying Yoda.

If that’s not creepy enough, make sure you take plenty of pictures of the project, and I mean planty, detailing every stage of it’s construction and adding to the overall flavor of desperation and geek excitement. That’s what Katsuya Matsumura did. His gal is party in the front and PC in the back. Say what you will about a perv and his PC, you don’t have one.

Neon Genesis Evangelion headsetOoooh, look at this! Fans of the Japanese anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion” are going to drool over the official collector’s headset that has a trippy design by Chara-Ani, a Japanese retailer of all things manga/anime, in partnership with Audio-Technica.

“Evangelion” is a big part of Japanese manga culture taking place in a future where mankind is fighting alien angels using a pack of surly teens inside of giant armored suits. Hey, it doesn’t have to make more sense than that for people to dig it (fans will know that the “01” on the headset’s side stands for the top of the line Evangelion armor.)

Chara-Ani is taking orders (up to a limit of five) now with an expected retail date of September 29 (price: 24,800 yen or about $207 Yankee bucks.) What, you didn’t think this kind of collector’s item would be cheap, …
