n a recent interview with Japanese publication Dengeki (translated by FinalFantasyXIII.net), Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura revealed a few interesting elements about the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII for the PlayStation 3. Nomura states that Final Fantasy
XIII will probably be the first game to use the full specifications of the PlayStation 3, and with the help of the standard hard drive of the console, and Blu-ray disc capacity, the evolution of Final Fantasy XII to XIII will be as big of a leap as Final Fantasy VI to VII.
Players will also be able to take part in airborne assaults with the airships in Final Fantasy XIII. Finally, when Dengeki questioned him whether or not the Final Fantasy XIII games will be PlayStation 3 exclusive, Nomura said, “Of course.”

Starting at 8AM EST on November 24 and going all the way through 11:59PM November 25, Wal-Mart will be offering an exclusive blockbuster deal that includes the PlayStation 3 and a selection of Blu-ray movies of your choice.
For this limited time only, if you purchase the 80GB PlayStation 3 from Walmart, you will receive 10 free Blu-ray movies. Yes, you read correctly, not 50% off, but more so FREE. You purchase the PS3 and you pick out any 10 Blu-ray titles of your liking.
If the specific Wal-Mart does not carry a particular title, specifically for this promotion, the title will be sent to the store at your request.
This news comes earlier than Wal-Mart intended, but due to its inevitable popularity, we thought our readers would benefit from a heads up.
Note from editor: If you get the 80GB model anywhere, you get 5 free Blu Rays from Sony though it’s a much smaller list than what WalMart has in stock. So basically, with this deal, you get 5 extra movies and all 10 are of your choosing whereas with Sony, you have to pick your 5 from a pretty small list.

Most people came away disappointed that Sony didn’t incorporate in-game XBM support and messaging into the latest PlayStation 3 firmware update — maybe next time. Sony keeps on keepin’ on, though, today announcing on the PlayStation Blog that firmware version 2.01 is on the way. However, Sony cautions that 2.01 is only “is a minor update that will improve the stability of PLAYSTATION 3.”
Additional details on firmware 2.01 are expected just before it goes live.
