"TGIPBD Patapeeps! (or Thank Goodness It's Patapost Blog Day!)

We've got some great news and then we've got some other great news. So let's skip the formalities and jump right in. First off, I wanted to invite you all to the epic launch party we'll be having for Patapon 2. Location: your house.

Now you might be asking yourself: how the jebus are we planning to host an epic pata-party at *your* house? Quite simple actually, we're going to harness the mighty power of a little thing I like to call "the internets" and give you all a chance to download Patapon 2 directly to your PSP.

Now the mighty power of the drum is but a point-and-click away."

1 - Ugh...
Here I was hoping they wouldn't do this. UMD/Digital simultaneous releases are fine, but to scrap the UMD entirely?

No buy for me. Call me when they release a UMD.

It isn't even a piracy thing. Pirates have often hacked digital download games, so that won't even stop them..

1.1 - calling for *ExcelKnight *
SCEE has already relased Patapon2 on a UMD in Europe, I imported mine from UK so if you have a decent credit card you can probably order it from some UK gamestore. Psp is region free so it will play in your system pretty well.

I live in Finland but I doubt posting fees to US are dramaticaly bigger.
When ordering stuff from NA its like 4.5€ or something for me.

So if any1 wants UMD just import it.

That would indeed be great, though I'm also looking into whether the demo's extras will work with the European version (very likely not).

I'll just hunt down the European demo if worst comes to worst. Oh, and bubbles for ya.

Well, that's just another bind I'm stuck with. Might as well not bother at all.
