Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Nets North American Date
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by SleepWell, PSP owners in North America are all saying the same thing right now: "it's about time!"
Today, Square-Enix has announced that Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, a prequel to the super smash franchise, will be on North American store shelves on September 7. In this iteration, you will explore various fantasy worlds through the eyes of three main characters: Terra, Ventus, and Aqua. Furthermore, to celebrate the launch, Sony will offer a special Limited Edition Birth by Sleep PSP Entertainment Pack, which will also be available on the 7th. It'll boast a cool "Mystic Silver" PSP-3000 unit, the UMD disc for for the game, a "TBA" movie, and a 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, and that ought to be attractive for RPG fans everywhere. Lastly, the press release has tuned us into the voice acting for the game; the cast is awfully impressive, as names like Mark Hamill, James Woods, Leonard Nimoy, Willa Holland and Jesse McCartney are featured. This series has typically used professional, accomplished voice actors so perhaps it's not surprising to see such highly recognizable names but even so, it's certainly encouraging. Hamill is building quite the game resume, isn't he?
The timing seems decent, too. We'll get Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker next month, which means we'll get a bit of a break between huge PSP releases. By the time Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep arrives, portable players ought to be begging for another big title.

Nah...jk - it's going to be tough choosing between this and Peace Walker. My parents don't really let me buy 2 games in a year. I'm lucky if I can get one. I can buy really old used PS2 classics considering their price and stuff...but not for PSP for some reason. - Wonder how they'll act once I get a PS3.
But...I could have honestly sworn that Square Enix said that Birth By Sleep was going to come out this Summer in the U.S.
Are you telling me they LIED?!?! A COMPANY LIKE SQUARE ENIX....LIED?!?!?! *rolls eyes*
Or in all seriousness of reality...did they have some announcement before hand which I missed noting that Birth By Sleep would be delayed in the NA?

yay a good portable Kingdom Hearts entry, ok, I'd rather have Kingdom Hearts 3 on the PS3, but this will keep me busy for a while.

Anyway, I've already got a PSP and I'm not really a collector, but this pack sounds too awesome to pass up. Time to start saving up my pennies!
