Dissidia: Final Fantasy to be downloadable in Japan

According to a Sony Computer Entertainment listing handily translated by Siliconera, PlayStation Portable thrash-em-up Dissidia: Final Fantasy will be made available as a PlayStation Network download when the UMD version hits Japan on December 18.

That's right -- via the divine instrument of regional account falsification, you could soon own a digital copy of the only fighting game in the world which lets you smack Cloud Strife around with Squall Leonhart's gunblade. Try not to dribble all over your keyboard.

Sony has already announced that all future first party PSP releases -- a list which includes such smoking hot talent as Loco Roco 2 and Patapon 2 -- will get the dual-publication treatment. According to VG247, the downloadables may even be a tad cheaper than their solid state counterparts.

There's still no word as to whether the European and North American PSNs will follow suit.

    thats a stunning annoucement. a good way to push digital distribution, but as for me, since im an FF collector, i would want the physical copy.

    Hmm Versus your right this could be a step towards Digital distrbution and im glad they're starting small with a PSP game now the question remains of HOW LONG will the game take to download especially if your Internet connection is SLOW as ........I really dont see How MS plans on having a console that is soley dependent on Digital Distribution

    I feel that i may have to get a bigger memory card. But i don't mind downloading it. And i will have to totally agree with 'Versus', love the entire series and will need a physical copy for sure.

    @5 - Good call. I checked his comments, they were all spam, so I banned him.
