You’ve probably marked your calendars already, but for those who might need a reminder, Final Fantasy XIII isn’t the only game officially coming out today. Right there to share the Day 1 sales is Yakuza 3, after spending forever in localization limbo. And for the rest who don’t have Resident Evil 5 until now, Gold Edition will come with the additional scenarios and characters that have popped into the online stores over the last few weeks.

Which one are you getting?
