The delicate cherry blossom of the hardware world, the “Lightning Edition” of the PlayStation 3, is out today in Japan. Know where else it’s being released? Korea.

It’ll be the exact same deal as the Japanese edition – custom console, controller, copy of Final Fantasy XIII – only, for Koreans. It’ll be out on January 29, 2010, and will retail for 540,000 Won, which works out to be around USD$460.
While being released in Korea isn’t the surest sign the pack will make it to the West – after all, the Korean market gets a lot of Japanese hand-me-downs – you can probably take the news and forge a small crucible of hope from it.
