Admittedly it cost me a small fortune, but well worth it.

Massive thanks to Genki Video Games who managed to get it imported for me even though id missed the last order point for December and even managed to get the delivery date pushed to xmas eve so i could have it set up in my house for xmas

Looks great - now, the question is can you make it through the game without using a guide?

Haha, I wish u the best of luck... Tell me how many PS3's u waste

All things considered, if something like that worried me id buy all things fake, i am happier knowing im probably one of very few who actually own one of these if not the only person in the uk... Same as my Hatsune Miku PSP i own (well definitely at least one other in this case), or any of my special edition consoles, controllers, guitars, models, blu rays etc etc

I never seen the appeal of such items myself. I've no problem throwing a few thousand away on actual unique items but a slim PS3 with a bit of stenciling which cost pennies marked up 'cause it's official Tales merchandise doesn't appeal. Now if they redesigned the actual case, changed the LEDs, the case materials etc that would be something worth owning.

Reminds me of the nintoaster. Now I'd buy that for a dollar!

Also I see Unknownfate's point. Sure it is a really nice looking ps3 but it's also something that could be achieved with some vinyl stickers/case skins. Now the pikachu n64: that is worth something!

Everybody to their own i guess... U never know maybe one day Sony will get their act together and release a decent limited edition console in the uk... Not some naf silver and pink final fantasy one based on the worst game invented in recent years. If u haven't got the money to waste, no need being jealous, guess we cant all be rich, LOL.

Superfish: sure it could be achieved with vinyl stickers but it wouldn't be the same, i don't know, i just love spending money and things i consider to be slightly unusual, which may be perfectly dull to everyone else... What sort of sad addict would i be if i didn't

Latro: I will be lucky if i can make it through xillia with a guide, its an absolutely beautiful game but i don't have a clue whats going on.
