HA ha!

What’s so funny?

Actually, the disc versions of games are much easier to pirate than the PSN versions.

Running 5.50 DGEN3, and had no issues playing Birth By Sleep within a week or two of release.

Looks like I’ll be playing the new kingdom hearts while my PSPgo friends sit wanting.

Hmm. The places I frequent issues playing it sans disc.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

oh sony sony sony you don’t like money do you

This was Square’s choice. Sony had no say in the matter.

I rage so very hard at this, the only reason I even got a PSPgo was to play this game. I was made aware that it would only be on the PSPgo and now I just wanna choke a bitch. Fuck you Sony or Square or whoever is responsible. Now you will never get my money again. Go suck a cock.

EMPHASIZE THE RAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t have a psp, so YAY!

PSPgo was the stupidest shit ever anyways. You all shoulda seen this coming, ROCK ON SQUARES ENIX this game better not suck ass.

So its gonna be a normal PSP!? THANK THE HEAVENZ! I DONT HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER PROTABLE GAME PLAYER TO PLAY MY FAVORITE SERIES!

Thank gawd it isnt PSPgo only. That piece of shit is a waste of money anyways.
Main reason i bought a damn PSP was to play KH

Ummm peacewalker was released on psn at the same day as the umd release…. i know cause i got it on day one on psn

Oh yeah and UMDs are much easier to pirate from so saids the article i read sometime ago on gameinformer

You’re right. I’ll fix it.

The issue isn’t whether UMD’s or downloads are harder to pirate. It’s the particular anti-piracy measures for this game that are in question. As I said, I recall people having issues getting the game to play without the UMD.

Lulz, Nice Square, good show, good show. And even if the firmware update for this game has to be current, the pirates will win. So, Tough Break PSPgo Users, and I hope you see the error of the download only handheld gaming system.

Dee Sawyer:

I’m not sure if that was true fro the Japanese version, but when the english version was leaked (before it was released mind you), although of course I didn’t play it myself because piracy is dispicable, nobody had any problem getting the english version running. Possibly the problem (well, problem for pirates anyway) has been solved by the cfw people. It was probably prometheus that solved it. The point is that doing this for piracy woud a stupid move for Square, since they didn’t update any of the anti-piracy on the disk and they MUST have known that the jap version was now playable on cfw without the disk. At least I hope companies take the time to google search stuff like that.

There has to be another reason.

Works flawlessly on CFW M33-5. The game was leaked, so people with hacked PSPs got to play the game a week early (sept. 2nd).

Firmware “DRM” isn’t hard coded onto the ISO, making it relatively simple for the hacking community to remove. Even if it were, in this specific case, the 5 extra days would be plenty of time to crack the source data by release.

Think what you will of me, people like me and those that take advantage of what is accessible to them. We aren’t thieves, instead we’re a new age of wealth distribution management; sharing media with the masses. Not just Americans, but people in Oceanic countries where they’re restricted by not only ridiculous prices, but content laws enforced by their governments. Someone that wants to play the same game as me shouldn’t have to pay $100 for the game + $85 for shipping when I can give them a copy for free.

Fuck Sony. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck nintendo. They’re all beating the casual cash cow and reaping the rewards without giving 2-shits about the customer base.

psp go digital distribution is the wave of the future, we don’t need middle men. As a steam convert i find this backwards and disheartening. What happened to square-enix, I guess the whole is lesser than the sum of its parts.

This is exactly why I didn’t buy a PSPgo. Good thing I didn’t, I was tempted to trade my PSP3000 for a Go a few months back, but then I wondered if amazing games like Kingdom Hearts Birth Sleep, and Dissidia would ever come out for PSN. Good thing I didn’t, I’m also glad Square Enix decided not to put BbS on PSN. people pirate the games, and even translate them from jap. to english; wise decision Nomura, I hope Bbs and Dissidia NEVER come out on PSN, and thus the PSPGo remains a complete failure in gaming history.

1. Dissidia is on PSN.
2. As the other commenters have noted, the piracy issue isn’t going to circumvented with one release.
3. Nomura doesn’t make those kinds of decisions. Wada is the person to make that kind of decision. Just like when Versus inevitably gets announced for 360.

Did the PSPgo kill your dog or something? Not putting BBS on PSN was a mistake, plan and simple. The load times could have likely been at least quartered, which would have had a notable impact on the review scores. Right now, Birth isn’t the worst game in the series, but it’s certainly the one I least enjoy playing.
