With Final Fantasy X currently scheduled for a US release in January, Square stands to lose out on the holiday shopping season; something they can ill afford after a financially dismal year and a relatively small release schedule. To avoid this scenario, Square is planning to quietly ship about 500,000 copies of Final Fantasy X by the second or third week of December. The launch is planned to be totally unannounced, with no advertisements of any kind until the official release early next year, so those hoping to play Final Fantasy X over their break would be well advised to keep an eye on their local video game retailer of choice as Christmas draws near.

In further news, the previously announced Final Fantasy X demo on the PlayStation 2 Winter Jampack will merely be a translation of the two previous demos that were seen at the last Tokyo Game Show in October.

I really hope this is true, and I really hope I can get a copy. :)

[Rant]Oh, great.

Let\'s see:
You\'ve played Devil May Cry... we\'re still waiting for a 50Hz crappy conversion; you\'re playing Metal Gear Solid 2 now... we\'ll be waiting for some months more; you\'ll be playing FFX in less than a month, we\'ll have to wait until next summer...

It\'s freaking amazing to be a gamer in Yurop!! :rolleyes:.

Good for you though :).

They\'re only going to ship 500,000 this month?  There are going to be a lot of people that won\'t be able to get their hands on one but I won\'t be one of them.  I have been dying for a new FF game.  I better go ahead and get Mgs2 so I can have it beaten by the time FF comes out. :cool:

Ok, now it seems that that "second or third week of December" thing is wrong.

Now the dates are...

December 26th -- prerelease (500,000 copies)
January 2nd -- official release.

I simply can\'t wait for this game.  The only time I can lock myself in my room for a week with a game and not even finish it is when a new FF title comes out.  And with FFXI going online it will probably  be the last FF game I play for a long time (untill another  one player game comes out)

FFX= my most anticipated game ever

I think that if any one of us that can find it.  But all the copies you can, then we can have a lottery on here..  Thats a good idea..

Imagine how much you would be able to sell one for on E-bay...

ahh yeah!!

Square is shooting for a Dec. 20th Pre-Launch. However the final alternative would be the 26th.
