Dissidia Final Fantasy LE PSP Bundle for US

steelbook, yeah. Shiny cover would be nice, too, though. They look like shiny cardboard slip covers :S
S'gonna be premium-wannabe cardboard sleeves that fit around the standard boxart, from the sound of it. On the other hand, the Gamestop preorder listing calls it extra cover art so who knows. I know I seriously prefer the two artcovers to the clusterfuck that is the Nomura artwork collage, and people who want the music either have the DISSIDIA soundtrack or all the CDs that have the non-exclusive-to-DISSIDIA tracks anyways.

I still think it's a shame there wasn't any Advent: OWA in DISSIDIA, or Birth of a God.

So I guess Amazon is Cosmos and Gamestop is Chaos?
:lol
 
Seriously, the PSP Go is sounding continuously more and more attractive to me as a product ever since it was unveiled around E3.

However, I just realized something. I want Dissidia as DD on my PSP, but I want the box art and extras too. Yet, if I feel this dilemma now, then what of MGS Peace Walker, when that comes out to launch with PSP Go? As a hardcore MGS fan, my heart tells me to get the retail product, but my brain tells me to go for the downloadable to play on the PSP Go.

And thus is the dilemma for collector-gamers. Heck we're about to face this with Persona for PSP as well when the first-press copies come with the full 2-disc soundtrack and digital may not be an option at the time of release.
I imported the soundtrack when PersonaPSP was released in Japan earlier this year so I'm good either way.

And also Kojima had that little bit in the OPM issue 101 interview where he thinks downloadable game future is like meeting someone without their skin or something. Do you want your skinless games with their organs flagellating all over the place? DO YOU!?

How could they when they simply used the orchestral version recorded ten years ago?
I guess you're right. I hadn't listened to FFVIII OST in a while so I didn't realize it was that version. I thought it sounded a lot weaker than the Advent Children version and thus was some crappy version. :lol Of course, I'm not talking about the lack of guitars, just the orchestration.

Listening to it again, it's fine. I'm not sure what I was thinking.

Simple, buy both.

Any news on the digital release of the game ?
I can't wait until the release of the PSP Go :(

SE announced before the JP version came out that it would be on the PSN day-and-date with the retail package, but that didn't happen...so that's still up in the air.

I know that, but the PSP Go wasn't announced back then. So we may see a US digital release.
 
More special stuff! (This is for Europe only though!)

Via Siliconera: http://www.siliconera.com/2009/07/0...imited-collectors-edition-is-only-for-europe/

Dissidia: Final Fantasy in unique packaging.

The best soundtrack mini-CD (perhaps, the same one Amazon is offering as a pre-order bonus).

A hardback, 48 page Dissidia art book with character artwork and CG rendered art.

A mini-game guide with character descriptions, a walkthrough, and more character art from Brady Games.

Two exclusive lithograph prints that Square Enix is showing us today.
 
Ugh, this and Mana Khemia 2 released on the same day.... I'll probably get Mana Kehmia 2 instead, because the LE for this game looks underwhelming at best.

CD and ... calendar? Really?

Oh well.
 
It is a PSP 3000.

The box says PSP-3004 though, which suggests it's slightly different to the PSP in the Monster Hunter bundle that came out last week, which was a PSP-3003. Unless that box is just from a different territory and I've messed up.
 
Wish the NA bundle had a white one. :/ Is the NA bundle that good of a deal? It doesn't seem that far over the $220ish that it'd be separate.

Cute, but only a normal white PSP3000 inside? Shame it's not similar to Japanese PSP for Dissidia launch :(
There's something on the battery cover, or at least something, probably stickers, to put over the battery cover (and the other side) to make it slightly more similar to the Japanese bundle. I guess the box could be implying that you get actual printed battery covers, but it's hard to tell.

I also realise my last response to this thread missed the point. Oops and that.
