Cool week. Jeff, do you know if Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete will have demo for FFXIII in U.S.? Thanks
Jeff
Killzone 2 in Japan sold 41,000 copies and it got on #3 on top 10 selling software.

Killzone 2 is #3 in Japan. That game sells so good over there. Quite a surprise that Killzone would get Japanese audience.
E3 is only a month away! Hopefully this year the E3 fair *Sony Booth* will be virtually available publicly in PlaystationHome. I can’t wait to hear more on Heavy Rain.
Good week. I’m definitely looking forward to more White Knight Chronicles info from you (Jeff) and Tsubasa Inaba.
On a related note, I asked a question in the White Knight Chronicles blog post fairly late, so here it is again. Any word on who’s voicing which characters in the English dub? I somehow get the impression Kari Wahlgren and Yuri Lowenthal will manage to get in the game.
Here’s another good link:

Written by Yours Truly, this details the new programming available to PS3 owners by way of Hulu.com
Oh, here’s another thing. Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment is supposedly coming out in August for XBLA and in September for PSN. Since August 31st is a Wednesday and September 1st is a Thursday, does that effectively mean we finally have an exact release date for the game?
I’m a big fan of the series (Blood Geysers!) and am anticipating VH:FoJ quite a bit…
I\’ve seen the game, and if you were a fan of the original, then you\’ll probably like this one. I haven\’t heard a date, but Konami has promised me to talk about the game on the blog down the line.
