I never really considered myself as a fangirl of any sort, even though I own practically every videogame system — except the PS3, but fate has a way of changing people’s mind.

Just because I sometimes find myself going through game withdrawal after completing one, or experiencing the occasional restlessness when games I want aren’t out soon enough, that doesn’t necessarily make me a fangirl, does it? I’m sure we’ve all looked up info on new games, and gone to the official websites and listened to the background music there over and over continuously for hours on end, and nonchalantly asked our friends to create ringtones out of our favorite videogame theme songs (or battle music), haven’t we? You all know what I’m talking about!

Okay, so maybe I am a bit of a fangirl. But who isn’t?

Anyway, I was working on Sony’s Press Kit for our TGS09 gallery (coming soon!) and, as if I was destined to see it, there it was sitting in my folder on my desktop — the limited edition FFXIII PS3 slim *cue heavenly glow with that “ahhh” sfx* Holy crap!

The sexy streamlined curves of the newly redesigned PS3 slim with Lightning printed subtly on the clean ceramic white matte finish. And packing a 250GB hard drive to satisfy all my downloadable desires! I was in looove!

My inner fangirl definitely just got a lot geekier! Who said you can’t fall in love with a machine, tell that to Helo or Gaius! I don’t usually go crazy over these limited edition consoles, but this one made me scream like a schoolgirl. I didn’t even know I could scream that high!

But then I realized something’s a bit off. The pink.

Ok I’m a female gamer, but pink? Pink is definitely not my color. I wish it was the usual Final Fantasy blue or even the pastel green, but I guess the reason they chose pink was because of Lightning’s hair color and not because they think the pink will move the new PS3 slim for the casual female demographic. Or so I hope.

But pink was the least of my worries. I was ambushed by the bundle’s price tag. 41,600yen?? You’re kidding right? Oh well, I hate pink anyways…

Of course, if any of you guys feel generous enough and want to see my unrequited love fulfilled, the bundle goes on sale in Japan on December 17, 2009, the same day as FFXIII game release!
