Sony have just announced on their PlayStation Blog, that Dissidia: Final Fantasy will be seeing a PSP bundle when it's released in North America in the summer.
The Bundle is currently scheduled to go on sale on the 25th of August, 2009 and will only be available at GameStop. The bundle will include the PSP-3000 in Mystic Silver, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children on UMD and a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo. It'll have a retail price of $199.99.
This obviously means that Dissidia will be coming out before the 25th of August in North America.
After seeing how successful the limited edition Final Fantasy VII Playstation 3 is right now in Japan, Microsoft are surely taking notes about what a similar deal could do for their console. While it's incredibly unlikely that they'll manage to strike up a deal in Japan with Square Enix, it's much more likely that they could arrange something for North America.
Although Final Fantasy XIII isn't going to be released for more than a year in the West, it's definitely a subject of intrigue and Microsoft have now shown that they are a definite force to be reckoned with in North America, if nowhere else. This can be highlighted by the imminent release of an exclusive Resident Evil 5 Bundle, which will see a limited edition red Xbox 360 come with a red controller, a copy of the game and an NXE theme. There's no word of a similar deal for the Playstation 3 in North America, but there is going to be a much more personalised Limited Edition PS3 for the game in Japan.
According to Forever Fantasy, Dissidia: Final Fantasy is now available for pre-order through Japanese retailers. Plus, if you pre-order the game now, you get a special Dissidia: Final Fantasy calendar free!
The game will be available for order all the way up until the 11th of December and the game will be released on the 18th of December.
Note: The Limited Edition PSP-3000 Dissidia Bundle also went up for purchase and more information can be found on that in our Limited Edition Dissidia PSP story, that was reported on earlier.
It was announced a while back that Sony would be releasing an exclusive Final Fantasy Dissidia Limited Edition PSP-3000 bundle, but new information has surfaced about its availability on the official Square Enix Japanese store.
The official name of the bundle is Dissidia Final Fantasy -Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary Limited and they really aren't lying with the name. Unlike the Crisis Core Limited Edition PSP which had a numerical cap of 77,777 units, the Dissidia Limited Edition PSP will have a time cap.
Pre-Orders will start on the 22nd of September at 13:00 (presumably Japanese time) and will end on the 28th of September at one minute before Midnight. However, you can only pre-order if you are a Square Enix member and even then it's a lottery as to whether your pre-order will be accepted. People who were successful in their pre-ordering will be informed the week after.
So essentially, unless you're fortunate, you aren't getting a Limited Edition Dissidia PSP bundle....well not straight away at least.
