I prefer to add a hard drive to the PSP and transfer games to it.

that would be awesome too. but to keep it portable, i say make the 16gb card cheaper for consumers (coupon voucher via email or with the purchase of a new psp?) and some kind of trade in deal with a retailer like GS where i can trade in my hard copy for a digital copy (voucher). it would free up much needed space in my room and i'd have it all linked to my PSN account. i think that would be freaking AWESOME.

It would be hard to resell one of these on Ebay or trade in at Gamestop!

i know, it would just be easier to get a larger card at a discount (when its still at MSRP) than for someone to buy a bunch of 8gb until then. i think caliblue15 made a thread a while back about how to make a 32gb card. i might do that little trick if they start offering AAA titles like Patapon 2 on the PSN. my PSP library will grow, thats for sure.

i've read about problems with those adapters, but yeah..there's always that route

Release date(s) JP November 27, 2008
EU March 6, 2009
AUS March 13, 2009
NA May 5, 2009

[Pepelutivruski4]

ah ok. was not aware of the EU release in march. i'm pretty certain that was what i played.

why is NA so delayed??? did they invest more into not printing it on UMD?

i apologize for the misunderstanding as it was my impression that this game would be released may 5 worldwide.
rather, considering it won't be on UMD in NA, i figured it'd come out sooner than anywhere else.
i found no bugs, and it was already in english. wth took so long?

[xtop]

no clue..seems like a pretty easy game to translate too

[dereksworl]

I hope the file is not too big. i know the demo alone is just over a 100Mb. i only got about 142Mb left on my Duo.

[Shin-Ra]

No discussion of ripped games or movies please.

[Shin-Ra]

$20 for all.

Q - How much Ka-ching will I have to drop for Patapon 2?
Patapon 2 is priced at a wallet friendly $19.99 USD for both the retail voucher and the PSN download.

[Pepelutivruski4]

if i may say. that is a steal of a price. the game is absolutely fantastic.


edit: dereksworl, i don't know if you read one of the posts that was deleted, but i think it'll be between 149MB to 390MB.

PM me if you want to know how i came up w/ those numbers.

[BlackMamba]

I feel obligated because of the awesomeness/polish of Patapon 1 to shell out $20 for the sequel.

[Goodintentions]

im buying this without a doubt even though i havent finished the first one yet .. the questio nis since the price is the same do i want a box sitting on my shelf ??? so i want to go to the store to get said box ??

[AikonEnt]

Think we're still getting the UMD version here in the UK, just looked online and it's £14.99 and makes no mention of download voucher.

[Shin-Ra]

It's already out on UMD here.
