Beautiful Special Edition FFXIII-2 PS3 and a Japanese Release Date

I can not read Japanese at all, but an update to Square-Enix's official Final Fantasy XIII-2 site has a picture of an absolutely gorgeous special edition Playstation 3, as seen below, and a Japanese release date.  Three months.  December 15th, 2011, Japanese gamers, or gamers in other regions who can play a Japanese game, will be able to get their hands on a copy of Final Fantasy XIII-2.  People who can not understand Japanese, there has been no North American release date revealed.  Also, no word on whether the pretty PS3 will make it anywhere outside of Japan.  But wouldn't it be nice?



UPDATE: Before this article even went live, an update has come down the pipeline.  A release date is set for January 31st, 2011, for North American shores.
