Yeah, March 9th, 2010 for North American and European/Australian release of the PS3 and 360 versions.

FFXIII is coming Home ;)

In all seriousness, I love this idea, hurray for Sony's advertising hub =)
 
Yeah I saw that yesterday, hopefully they do something like this with Home when the game releases here.

Yeah, I'd love to decorate my Home Space a little bit, aside from the Watchmen stuff and a free Everybody's Golf Couch, the space is a little bland.

Maybe they should do an FFXIII T Shirt to advertise the game some more in Home as well.

And it'll be only for Japan, if you're not in the region you won't be able to participate in the Japanese PS3 beta.
That and SE said they were focusing on PC beta first then they'd extend it to PS3, so it may still be a while before people can even use that campaign code.
We'll probably see something similar come when XIII hits March next year in NA/EU.

tbh, I don't think that campaign code with FFXIII is exclusive to PS3 version.
 
It's for a spot in the Japanese PS3 beta, not the PC beta.
They wouldn't package in the PC beta for people who are buying FFXIII on PS3.

Translated it says something akin to "being a beta test for the PS3 version"

Where does it say that?

And my point is, I'm assuming you will still need to create an account, in which case you should be able to attend both PS3 and PC beta if you have both clients.
 
On the paper with the campaign code.
And we've already got our initial beta sign ups beginning for PC in JP/NA/EU, this code is just a guaranteed spot for the PS3 version beta, which will happen at a later date.
And if the campaign code comes with the NA/EU PS3 version I see it being used as guaranteed access into the FFXIV PS3 beta.

The paper with the campaign code didn't state it was a beta, though, nor that it was PS3 exclusive. The paper with the beta said it was an exclusive in-game item for FFXIV. That is, unless they've changed it.

Nowhere in the picture circulating is PS3 mentioned though.

Unless you mean "PlayStation is a trademark of Sony Computer Entertainment. PS3 is a trademark of the same company."
 
On the paper with the campaign code, right here circled for you:

It's small, so you may want to save it and zoom in.
 
The part you circled in isn't for the beta, though, according to ffxivcore. This part is:
http://www.ffxivcore.com/index.php?...attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=1489&

which is translated to

This campaign code is for use to claim a secret in-game item or a chance to enter the FFXIV beta test. Please keep it in a safe place and do not lose it.

The in-game item is available only to those playing FFXIV within Japan.

(A lot is cut off from this part) The entry into the special lottery for the beta test is for those who bought FFXIII only.

We will not reissue secret codes.

I circled Playstation 3, you claimed it wasn't on the code except the trademark bit at the end.
The picture you linked too doesn't have all the text, nor the translation of the information above that bit you linked.

Yes, I know, but the above part you quoted is apparently not about the beta itself. Hence why I linked the beta part rather than the whole thing.

And yes, I know PlayStation3 is on the part, but it isn't in regards to the beta, which was my point.

I mean, really, now that they even do a worldwide beta sign-up, why would they provide a code to enter the beta draft (for a CHANCE to get in the beta) for PS3 ONLY beta, when the PS3 beta starts after PC beta, and the beta sign ups already started?

And it's going to be used in the PS3 beta, they've already started the beta sign ups for the Windows version, and this code isn't used for that.
It says Playstation 3 on it for a reason, and people I know who've translated the whole thing says it's for the PS3 beta as well.

And they did it as a sort of "reward" for people who bought oh idk FFXIII, seeing as it's a PS3 game why would they include a code for beta access to the PC version.
And the PS3 is more popular than the PC in Japan, so more people would probably try to get in on the PS3 FFXIV beta there.
People who would rather try for the PC beta can do that and sell the code, or use this code and try to get into the PS3 beta.

Better link here, which I translated:

You can use “the Final Fantasy XIV” campaign cord/code, with two uses. After the starting the proper form service “of Final Fantasy XIV”, the purchase receiving the package of the same commodity, when you input the campaign cord/code the occasion where it begins the game, it does not leak and the secret item inside the game is granted. * Start of proper form service “of Final Fantasy XIV” has planned 2010.

Rather shoddy translating but that's how Babelfish is, you can run it through yourself.

The back is just like we previously saw in the leaked picture. In addition to unlocking a "secret item" in Final Fantasy XIV, the Campaign Code is also used to enter a lottery for spaces in the Playstation 3 version of the beta. You need the Campaign Code for both of these purposes, so even after signing up, you will want to put this in a safe place.

The beta sign-up itself was fairly similar to the US version, with a few differences. In the Japanese one, there is a choice between PC or PS3 beta, with the latter requiring the code. One thing that would have been nice was a confirmation that you entered your code correctly -- it seems to just send along whatever you type in regardless of whether you screw up.

Well, the Japanese people got severely screwed over in that case, lol, since NA and EU apparently get both betas if they're picked, unless its a misswording on SE's part.
