Sony announces Final Fantasy 16 themed PlayStation 5 bundle, but it's Japan only
Sony has announced a Final Fantasy 16 themed PlayStation 5 bundle, but it's only available in Japan.
The limited edition bundle includes the console with special face plates — themed with the game's logo of Eikons Phoenix and Ifrit in battle — as well as a specially designed controller. Of course, it comes with a code for the game too.
However, outside of Japan there's simply a bundle with the game, minus the fancy themed hardware.
It's a shame as the sleek black theming actually looks great — minimalist and not tacky. It's available in Japan from 22nd June, the same day as the game's release.

For us in the west, the boring bundle is also available from 22nd June, with pre-orders opening on the PlayStation Direct store from 4th May.
