Final Fantasy fans heartbroken over the fact that they don’t have the necessary PS3 or Xbox 360 needed to play the game may not have it so bad anymore, as a retail listing on a retailer training website showed a Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 bundle is going to be released in North America. So if you were debating buying a new console just to play that specific game, the decision might be a little easier.

The preliminary box art for the bundle can be seen at the right. It includes an Xbox 360, copy of Final Fantasy XIII two wireless controllers, a headset and a 250gb hard drive. As Kotaku points out, the listing for the bundle states that the console and controllers will be black, but the box art shows a white console and controllers. The console depicted on the box also looks to be a plain, standard Xbox 360. No extra special FFXIII decorations or anything.

The Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 bundle’s price tag on the site was $399. That does sound about right. The Xbox 360 Elite bundle with LEGO Batman, Pure, a 150gb hard drive, wireless controller, console and headset was $299. The theoretical FFXIII bundle would contain a new release, two controllers and larger hard drive, justifying the higher price point. The bundle hasn’t been confirmed by Microsoft or Square Enix, but the game launches March 9, 2010 so we’ll all probably find out if it will be available soon.

I’m disappointed that this potential bundle has no FFXIII branding. Well, aside from the game and box art. Some, even as small as a console skin or faceplate, would have been a nice touch to make the bundle a little better.
