Each episode will cost £0.99 each or you can subscribe for £8.99 for a three month period.

Update

We have just found out (via MCV) that next weeks episode will feature Just Cause 2 and Final Fantasy thanks to a deal struck between Square Enix and Future Publishing.

Under the terms of the deal users will be able to access the Final Fantasy XIII website through a promotional video, while  trailers for Just Cause 2 will transfer players to the downloadable demo and an exclusive in-game item.
