Here's a quick recap: The Square-owned Digicube convinience store chain in Japan has already launched a massive pre-sale campaign for Square's upcoming Final Fantasy VIII. They've got well over 500,000 orders already, easily on their way to surpassing the 1.5 million pre-orders made for Final Fantasy VII.

   As part of the campaign, they're giving away these FFVIII-emblazoned metal straps to anyone who pre-orders. Also included is an advertisement put out by Digicube. Woo-ha!
