Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - PSP

[teddymeow]

Totally ordered. Is it Sqeenix published?

This'll look good next to my Dissidia and Crisis Core LEs.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is, they seem to be loving the LEs here in Europe.

I'm no KH fan but I'll pick it up and see if it can spark that flame again, I just hope the box is as good as the CC and Dissdia ones cos the XIII one was pretty dent and crease prone...

Good to see it officially announced for multiple PAL regions. It actually appeared on the German Amazon site a month or so back.

Actually appeared on UK listings (Play, Amazon, GAME etc) late last week and I think I ordered it 3 times, as every site I looked at was selling it slightly cheaper than the last.

And more or less a 'No' from Square, regarding PSN.

I think this won't ever hit PSN. Its not even designed that way.

Kick in the teeth for Go owners but it's not unexpected given the lack of appearence on the jp PSN. Guessing the fairly advanced copy protection makes a PSN release impossible.

This and Ghost of Sparta are probably going to be my final PSP purchases

Not surprised, I think it was Disney who originally said a while back that it wouldn't be releasing over PSN - I do know they had some say in it at least.

Edit: Yep, Squeenix don't hold download rights for Disney characters.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here?

[saturn-gamer]

BBS was designed so that it couldn't run from Memory Stick at all. A PSN version would probably mean otherwise.

I think it was being succesful in that, as it wasn't hacked until far after its Japanese debut. I'm guessing that the western version will have another form of protection to survive long enough.

Final Mix announced.

Contains all the Western content but contains a mysterious new armoured character who probably will turn up in KH 3DS or KH3 and it contains a new episode at the end.

They'd better offer this stuff as DLC in the west...

Seen the trailer (been taken down since)

New stuff:

Car combat vs Pete
Monstro (pinocchio) stage, both inside and outside him.
Fight with someone in Organisation XIII robes, wields two glowing blades.
