Same here, but the overall sections that are continually changed have been completed and with the combination of Crystal Tools I doubt it would take them long to even finish it after they've finished working on XIII as the project was getting a bit out of hand with the short-staffing due to all of the numerous projects going on.
So I wouldn't be surprised if we get a little bit of an update about Versus XIII at the TGS '08 and have an announcement shortly after of the project being taken off it's hiatus as people are still working on it but not much is being done overall but knowing the guy's at SQEX... they can do it if they really try to get them both out around the same time and they wouldn't let Versus XIII become vaporware.
And from what I've heard of it, it does sound good in comparison to some other "Remix Albums" - one of which was popular but had stolen arrangements from the Black Mages, OCReMix, VGMix and the "artists" refused to admit that they stole the remixes, arrangements and ReMixes (OCR phrase) but it should be taken much better than things like the one I've just mentioned because Uematsu is overlooking it with many of his compositions.... we could also be expecting a bonus Black Mages song or so a rumour is saying.
And I know what you mean about the cover, that's why I coloured it to make it a little bit easier to see as it did slightly kill my own eyes.
ALSO, it turns out that Moriya's hint was correct - The American Square-Enix Members section now has it's GameZone open... featuring the following games:
Chocobo's Snowboard Glide (Japanese version: Chocobo Snowboarding)
Chocobo Flight (Japanese version: Chocobo's Flight)
Chocobo's Balancing Act (Japanese version: basically the same)
Chocobo's Classmate (Japanese Version: Chocobo and Classmates, also known as Chocobo + Classmate Mischief)
They've also got nineteen wallpapers up and I'm expecting once the Beta version of the Japanese Square-Enix Member's Virtual World is officially released to all users of the Japanese Members for it or the Alpha version to be released onto the American one. But comparing the stages of the sites to each other that will most likely be a while.
[EDIT]
I'm just installing the Beta version, I'll try and have a video of footage from the Beta Members Virtual World (I'll be referring to it as MVW or: A-MVW and B-MVW) up to go with the Alpha version video I have on YouTube.
