Birth By Sleep Won't Be Available In Digital Format?
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by SleepInitially, it was assumed that Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep would release for both PSP-3000 and PSP Go owners. It would be a logical plan of action, yes?
But it seems Square-Enix may not be making the promising action/RPG available via the PlayStation Network. This rumor has been popping up all over the Internet during the past 24 hours and according to one Japanese source cited by Joystiq, Birth by Sleep won't be digitally available due to "copyright issues." This information comes from Magunus' Twitter page, where he says he recently attended a PlayStation event and learned of this unfortunate decision while in attendance. However, there's no official mention of this anywhere so one should probably take this with a grain of salt. This is one of those games that would - theoretically - be quite popular amongst the handheld crowd, and that most certainly includes all new PSP Go owners. It'd be one thing to not release it in UMD form in an effort to promote the new all-digital handheld, but to leave it off the newest portable iteration...? Why?
We'll let you know if either Square-Enix or Sony clears this up any time soon, but we certainly expect a response. Don't leave PSP Go owners out in the cold, guys.

good going sony.
you release a cramp inducing system and charge 150 bucks more for it, and release most of the games later on there or not at all.
and some of them dont even work like assassins creed bloodlines.
BRILLIANT!
what a perfect way to treat and thank your loyal fans.
sonys gone really greedy latley and because of that there quality and customer service has really gone down the sh*tter!
what happened to the sony that cared about its fans?
what happened to the sony that sent a free coppy of james bond casino royale to the first several thousand people to sign up to the PSN?
