The Sony press conference took place at the Tokyo Game Show this morning (around 5am BST), and Square Enix took to the stage to announce that they are currently working on a HD-enhanced version of Final Fantasy X to mark the game’s 10th anniversary.
Final Fantasy X HD will be coming to the Vita and the PlayStation 3. There is currently no release date, but hopefully it will be at some point this year if they truly want to market it as a ’10th anniversary’ celebration.
It’s also unclear as to whether the game is exclusive to Japan and/or Sony. Hopefully it will at least get an international release.

It’s too easy to lose track of which retailer is offering what pre-order bonuses these days. It seems like it’s impossible to get all the content for a game now without placing 10 different pre-orders, thanks to the fact every shop seems to be given their own exclusive* deal. The cheapest deals at the moment are at ShopTo.net, where it is £34.95 for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game and £31.85 for the PC version.
* It’s worth noting that the term ‘exclusive’ tends to mean ‘timed exclusive’ now – so you probably can get all the content if you’re willing to wait a little bit longer
To lighten the load for you, I’ve come up with a breakdown of the exclusive pre-order incentives currently being offered for Batman: Arkham City in the UK.
Tesco
£39.70 (PS3/360)
Joker’s Carnival Challenge Map pack (with Joker Steelbook Edition)
ShopTo.net
£34.85 to £59.86 (PS3/360) or £31.85 to £34.85 (PC)
1970s Batman Suit – Alternative Batman character skin
GAME / Gamestation
£39.99 (PS3/360) or £29.99 (PC)
Robin Edition – Robin playable character, extra character skins and 2 challenge maps
This is by no means an exhaustive list; if you know of any more exclusive pre-order bonuses let me know in the comments and I’ll get them added to this page.

After the sequel received a lukewarm response (in terms of gameplay – it received a tremendous acclaim for it’s graphics and technology), Crysis is gearing up for a release on home consoles. We all knew it was going to happen, and if you’re like me you’ll have been anticipating this day eagerly. The question is; when is Crysis going to be released?
Well, first of all, it has been announced that Crysis will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as a downloadable title. The game will be using the newer CryEngine, and thanks to that boasts “improved lighting” amongst other enhancements.
And finally, the date for Crysis’ release on the PlayStation Store and XBLA Xbox Live’s Games on Demand, and is set as October 2011. Yep, that’s potentially less than a month away from now before you can be awed by the beauty of the island paradise hosting the major part of the Crysis story. Oh, I suppose you’ll shoot some stuff too.
The game is priced at £14.99 / 1600 MSP.
