Final Fantasy XIII Faceplate Giveaway

Final Fantasy XIII Faceplate Giveaway
Written Tuesday, March 09, 2010 By Dan Webb

To celebrate today's worldwide release of Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360 - something that is possible for the first time in the franchise's history. We're teaming together with Microsoft to give you the chance to win one of 5 fancy Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 faceplates - usually only available if you happened to be a game's journalist attending X10 in San Francisco, and maybe other places... we don't know. Trust us, they're limited... really limited.


We're going to keep it simple, because we know that you're either knee deep in Chocobo or off on your travels to pick up your copy today.

If you've not already checked them out, check out our review here and the achievements that we published last week.

How can you win you ask? Simple, head to this thread, sign your name and add an explanation as to which was your favourite Final Fantasy and why. No wrong answers, we're just curious as ever and as always, the winner will be selected randomly.

Want to know what you're trying to win? Then check these out.

They look cool... I would like to enter but I've never played a FF game... does that mean I can't enter the contest? :-/

You could also get the faceplate by pre-ordering the FF XIII edition Xbox 360 console at GameStop.

We got 2 extra ones in apparently but both my Asst. Managers took them... They don't even own 360's :(

@#8 - Ah, cheers Mike. I was looking for them and couldn't find any more. That would be why!

I actually already got one by just preordering the system bundle (didn't actually pick it up but got it anyways). Pretty cool faceplate except for the fact it is made for standing consoles.

Is this limited to the US only? I live in Canada and would like to at least try and win.

My favorite was FF7 it was the first one I ever played, and I fell in love with series ever since.

Vertical faceplates can suck me arse. I would never cover up the biggest vents on my 360 just to stand it vertically. But to each their own. Good luck to whomever enters.

Comment #17 by Seiryu
Tuesday, March 09, 2010 @ 06:36:31 PM

They aren't THAT limited, but they are expensive. Amazon lists this faceplate for $49.99, or free if you pre-ordered the FFXIII elite system bundle.

I think just a picture of the eyes would make a better faceplate, like shown before entering this link. I was disappointed after clicking.

I already own one.

Ahhhh the perks of working at gamestop.

@#16 - I stand my console up vertically. You know, my launch console. You know, the one I've had since launch. Know what I mean? =P

@ 21 Not to mention that consoles look better Vertically.

If people don't like how it is for standing consoles, get photoshop, download a skin template, and make your own.

I played FFVIII after my boyfriend (now my husband) introduced me to gaming. Before the only game I played was mario and duck hunt on NES. I have been playing from that day on!

I still have the all the FF that I have played.

I don't have much use for face plates, but if it's free... why not spice things up.
If only they had a NC State Wolfpack face plate.

Comment #57 by aggieweather
Friday, March 12, 2010 @ 12:13:08 PM

That faceplate is nice looking. It would look good on my 360 while I am playing FFXIII.

Most faceplates are too cluttered or have poor color combinations, but those look good.

Monday, March 15, 2010 @ 11:33:43 AM

They were also given away to people who pre-ordered the Final Fantasy XIII 360 Console Bundle earlier enough from GameStop. We had two of those buggers sent to my store to taunt myself and my fellow coworkers.

I'll stick to my elite case with blue rol and fan hehe looks so badass beside my bluray player and jvc flatscreen, my controller is all black with a blue rol aswell. still a nice face plate, but i lay the 360 on its side and have a fan blowing in to it... to paranoid for RROD.

final Fantasy VII, best story and characters, and at the time it was released it had some of the most amazing conematics anyone had ever seen. And I think Square need to remake it with next gen graohics.
