How come there is one higher price for two Final Fantasy XIIIs (JP) on Play-Asia?

I'm planning on buying the Japanese Final Fantasy XIII on its release date. Now, I was just curious about why they are selling TWO FFXIII games that are the same but priced differently?

The first one says - Final Fantasy XIII

The Second one below it says - Final Fantasy XIII (Japanese Language Version), and is at a lower price than the one above.

For example. This link clearly shows it.

It's the 2nd and 3rd from the top. Why are they priced differently? Is there something different that I should know of? Is there an English version in Japanese Dubbing? I'm confused. What's going on? Are they trying to rip off their customers or something?

Is it normal that a guy that you have just started dating goes out with a “dance gf” for his social dances?

My bf is from Dallas and before I met him, he has been actively participating in these social dance clubs in his area. When he explained the norms of the dance, I found it very nice and exciting. I am from an Asian country and we met here in asia because of his reassignment for work. I do not exactly know how these things go about... So, I just take it very casual. Everyday, we have night schedules on the phone to relay about our days... He would tell me about his itinerary and , you know I am not a jealous person. For an Asian, I am one of the most open-minded individuals already. But I just can't shake the feeling of being uncomfortable everytime he tells me that, he went out with a date , who happens to be his dancing partner every night... Also, explaining that he is currently staying with her house temporarily because he decided not to use his house as his stay was short and needed to get out and go to his parents house in another state after a week...

He calls this social dance "contradance". We don't have these things here in my country and I just know that when you are in a relationship, even these so-called " harmless" partnerships/ dates on dance nights should not be tolerated.

He tells me about them... But not a lot of details other than he had a great night, fantastic vacation so far, though he wished he wasn't missing me so much...

He had always been on time in our long distance phone dates and tells me that he loves me everytime...

I don't think he shares the same bedroom with where he stays.... I just probably don't really understand these things....

What do you guys think? Should I relax?

I have a question about white americans in the usa that is making a big deal about interracial dating?

Ok i been hearing all this talk about Tiger wood in the USA going out with white women from the media here in asia and want to know who is making the big deal about who he dates?? He can date whoever he wants.. Here in the Philippines we have americans (mostly white) that come here to asia and have sex with 15 year old girls in angeles city, Philippines and i never hear about that on the news, why do they display that because it goes on everyday here with american men trying to pick up and have sex under age girls, so why dont that make the media news?? There are alot of white/asian couples here, so why nobody make a big deal about that?
Nice Ben but thats not what the Media is showing here in asia!! May be different where your at buddy!! They are always showing the african and hispanic people as being lower then whites which is not true!

Why is the US always so far behind when it comes to new phone models?

Seriously, Nokia has a bunch of new phones (N series and more) out in Europe and Asia, yet the Nokia phones offered in the US provider stores are ridiculously out of date and are always one or two really low end Nokia phones.

You can almost never get the new and up to date, cuttting edge phones in the provider stores like Tmobile or Cingular, you always have to buy online or goto a specialty store. Why are these providers so far behind??? Why do they keep stitcking it out with the pathetically out of date Razrs, Krzrs, Crappers and lame LG or Samsung flip-phones that break after 5 months?

The real kicker is that yes, you can get Tmobile service with just about any phone, but if you buy a phone they do not sell in their stupid store (ie. a GOOD Nokia phone), then they do not offer any support for it nor insure it nor help you with anything related to it.

Which countries/continents have the most attractive and least attractive men, respectively?

In my opinion...

Most attractive:
Germany
Lithuania
Finland
Sweden
Denmark
Africa (don't think I'd want to date or marry one because then our kids would have difficult lives, but they're nice to look at)

Least Attractive:
Mexico
Asia
America (...sigh...)
Most of Latin America

Ladies, what do you think?
Blah blah blah, why is everyone making a big deal out of this? Jesus.

And also Happy Snappy, you have no idea at all what I look like in real life, so don't jump to any conclusions. Furthermore, unattractive guys are always going on an on about hot women that they could realistically never be with, so there's no reason why women can't do the same. Everyone has a right to LOOK, women included.

Also, Cassius, my reason for not wanting to marry an African has nothing to do with income. It's as I said...I wouldn't want to give birth to interracial children who are often victims of hate.

And to everyone who's getting all outraged over this...clearly we're all entitled to our personal preferences, aren't we? Just because I PREFER the tall blond white look doesn't mean that I consider men who don't fit that mold to be less valuable people.
