Tempting! but I still have my FFVIII discs lying around though and the PS3 can still play PSone game discs. That said wouldn't mind having a digital copy I can put on my PSP! (recently got MGS for it, good stuff!) however, quickly running out of space so might invest in a bigger memory stick first and possibly grab this and FFVII too!

Does anybody know if buying it off US PSN makes it unplayable on PAL TVs? Not sure if the NTSC restriction is in place here...

I loved FF8, but I really couldn't be bothered with the card game in it. Fortunately there were other ways of obtaining the items/abilities that could be won. I'm going to watch a few youtube vids and see if I get excited about this game again. For a tenner I might pick it up again.

I have the PS3 Husky edition. Won't that play that game?

Not sure if you can order from here, seeing as you're in CA, but Amazon has it new for $15 (USD).

Great, will be getting it as soon as it becomes available for me. (In the mean time I'll pick up some of the Christmas specials on the PSN)

Anyone know if Australia has its own time frame for PSN releases/updates or are we tied with either the US or Europe?

thanks for the news.

i bought ff7 during release day and have yet to play it even though i finished it for the pc version.

i have not ever played ff8, which will be great to start now.

Wasn't FFVII released in the US a week or 2 before the UK release?

I'm hopeful of a FFVIII UK release soon :)

Longer than that IIRC.

Don't get PAL versions (unless you have an old TV), invest in a US PSN gift card.
