Ahem. Welcome to yet another edition of Hey! Look! Listen! I am your host Oliver Motok, and this article is being produced to the sound of Green Day’s American Idiot album. Just… just an FYI.

So gorgeous.

Oh hey, Final Fantasy XIII news
Not just the fact that the release date was announced. There was a brand-new demo on the floor of the release party, and a bunch of people got their hands on it, Kotaku being one of them.

In addition to that, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada stated: “In the past, it’s taken a year or half a year to release our games abroad, but this time we are aiming for an international release this Spring”. So. If he’s true to his word, we might see the game sooner than expected.

PS3 Slim Racks Up Big Sales
People are loving the PS3 Slim. According to Famitsu publisher Enterbrain, In Japan, system sold over 150,000 units in its first three days on the market, which is phenomenal given the sales history of the PS3. VGchartz is even reporting that the system has sold over 500,000 units worldwide since its launch, which is an amazing – and unconfirmed – number.

I could offer some intelligent commentary here, but I believe that I’ll instead let PS3FTW, resident of VGchartz’s message forums, do the talking:

Elegant.

Again: Gorgeous.

Oh Hey, 1UP Liked Murumasa: The Demon Blade
It’s true, they did. Check out their review here.

I was actually going to possibly buy that game today, but then I started playing Arkham Asylum and COMPLETELY forgot about it. And now it’s 1 in the morning and my GameStop is long closed. Ah well, perhaps tomorrow. Or maybe I’ll just play more Batman.

There really wasn’t much to that one, eh? A shame, I really thought more news might come out of the FFXIII release party. But hey, I did my best.

Oh, and this is still the dumbest theme week ever. Want to know what MY Grande No Water with Whip Tazo Chai count is? ZERO.
