Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know about a great Special Edition we’re planning to release to celebrate KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep launch on 10th September. There’s not long to wait now!
Here’s a picture of the box art for the Special Edition, I hope you like it.
As well as a copy of the game for PSP, there are two exclusive items that you’ll also get in this version:
- Two KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep art prints.
- A 48-page hardback artwork book entitled “The Art of KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep”.
If you don’t know what KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep is about (where have you been?), then check out the trailer below : )
The Special Edition is being distributed in UK, France, Germany/Austria/Switzerland, Nordic countries, Benelux, Spain, Italy, Australia/New Zealand, Russia, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus.
Please do check availability with your friendly local retail outlet.

Does Sweden count in as “nordic countries”?

Sweden does count as ‘Nordic countries’ Omega932000, so it will be available there too : )

How do PSP Go owners get these extras? Or does that get filed under the ‘PSP Go is dead, you’re a fool for buying one’ section?

Gah! Got all excited then. Thought it’d be an announcement for the original re-released to PS3.

Is the game cover itself the same as the regular version? Is this just an outer box containing the bonus material and game?
Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 2:31 pm by Rob Rutter
Hi flyingteddy, the artwork shown in the blog post is the outer box artwork. Inside you’ll get the hardcover artbook, art prints and copy of the game (the cover of this is the same as the regular version). Hope this helps!

Wow, that looks great
Please, is this coming to the PSN. I only have a go now (my old PSP broke down) Pretty please, release this game on PSN (maybe even day and date with the retail release, that would be nice!)

Just a heads up to Sony and Square Enix, if you re-released Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 in HD for the PS3 (Like you did with the God of War series), you’d probably make a LOT of money.

Good stuff. But as others have said, it will be released on PSN, right?
Any response would be appreciated.

Only got a PSP a couple of weeks back – I’m guessing this is a “must have”?
15
Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 2:35 pm by V_Ben
Rob… You’re responding to the posts that don’t ask if the game will be released on PSN. At least tell us if it isn’t
Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 3:43 pm by Rob Rutter
Hi V_Ben, I know a lot of people are interested in whether Kingdom Hearts BBS will be on PlayStation Store, but I’m afraid there’s no news on this yet. Sorry!

Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 2:36 pm by YauOrigiN
Just pre-ordered, as a massive fan of Kingdom Hearts this is a must have. =D

Will this Special Eidtion be in a sturdy box and open up like the Dissidia Special Edition?
18
Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 2:47 pm by Philip99
Is the special box of the hard cardboard variety, ala Dissidia and Crisis Core special editions, or the thin, nasty, cheap and ultimately unwanted flimsy “cardboard” affair ala FFXIII?
19
Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 2:49 pm by Basket21
Will this be released on PSN too?
And if it will .. will the price be adjusted to show its a downloadable game? where u dont get cover/case whatever.
I hope its lower then the boxed version

Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 3:49 pm by V_Ben
Thanks for the response Rob! Hopefully there’s some news on a PSN release at Gamescom

Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 4:58 pm by GrumpyMcGrump

Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 5:46 pm by dgnfly
they keep announcing psp games on the blog yet they never ever mention if it’s gonna be on the pspGO why bother posting it at all

Any chance there will be an LE BBS PSP Go?

Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 6:03 pm by Paznos
Will this be coming to North America? I rather get this version over the special order decals….

The post says it related to IE.
Is this a confirmation that the special edition is coming to the Republic of Ireland?(ie..Included in the UK)
29
Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 7:08 pm by sonicspd145
Honestly for the states i would love to buy this. but i guess that is a slim chance since the description for the special edition didn’t slate it for the states

I’d love to play this on my psp go…

Must… own… now…

Posted on 29 July, 2010 at 8:27 pm by ProjectInfiniti
This had BETTER be on PSN as this was my decision on making a suicide move of owning a Go and selling off my 2000.
Otherwise someone is going to get a nice disgusting present mailed to them. Seriously.
Tired of wondering when Sony and anyone else still supports the PSP Go.

hey hey
i just found my brithday pressie to myself \o/

Awesome – will buy, to be honest I would have waited if only the regular version was available because I have a big backlog on PSP, but these PSP Special Edition are really nice.
For the next game though – please drop the huge special edition crown print. I would think collector’s especially won’t want their cover art compromised by stuff like this.

When I have the money, I’ll definitely be getting this package.

So Rob, does this mean that we will not be seeing this pretty cool special edition here in Poland?
38
Posted on 30 July, 2010 at 12:51 am by faiz_ziaf
This ones going to be worth a little money in the future because of the disney association
I really want a psp go for the ten free games, but still love the 3000 for the special editions

Hey man gotta say this looks really awesome and I want it! Ist it launching in Ireland as the included countries says IE however your post doesnt mention it…
Really looking forward to BBS!

I still hope this will be available on the psn, unlike Silent Hill Shattered Memories. Which I will have to buy off the US store, further inconveniencing me when I need to switch accounts.
This isn’t enough to be interested in buying hard copy, I still prefer digital right now even though I have a 3000 as I like my handheld gaming to be actually portable, and I want to keep my number of umds down.
41
Posted on 30 July, 2010 at 9:29 am by turbo-ff
I have both PSP 2004 and PSP GO but I prefer PSP GO it’s smaller and have bluetooth. If only games in digital version where cheaper since they don’t need box, manual, umd and all stuff related to this BUT they are usually 30% more expensive than versions from my local store it’s just sick.
The biggest problem to me is that I can’t transfer games from UMD to PSP Go, can’t SONY make some serial codes inside BOX version so you can download ONE and only ONE copy of the game from Store. I think it’s good idea because you always have a backup and/or version for PSP GO.

20 aussie bucks more for an Art book and a some Arts cards is a bit steep where’s the sound track

Quick question. Do you count Norway as Nordic country?
44
Posted on 30 July, 2010 at 5:02 pm by Andrefpvs
Would you guys consider releasing a Kingdom Hearts Collection for the PS3? This would especially benefit European players since you could also throw in RE:Chain of Memories in the mix (this game was never released in Europe).
45
Posted on 30 July, 2010 at 7:20 pm by Xperius
Indeed Andrefpvs, and lets add Final Mix to that whole package too
I’d love and I’d definatly lay down 150 euro’s if needed, IT IS NEEDED WHAT AM I SAYING, I NEED IT NOW XD.

Posted on 31 July, 2010 at 12:48 pm by daxterclankwii
This special edition is very cool, but is there any possibility for a Kingdom Hearts-PSP Bundle in Europe?
47
Posted on 31 July, 2010 at 3:53 pm by Marth380
i dont LIKE it, i freaking LOVE it

Posted on 31 July, 2010 at 3:54 pm by zadorvp
Leonard Nimoy and Mark Hamill

Posted on 31 July, 2010 at 3:57 pm by Marth380
@ turbo-ff
probably not. it means that you downloaded the game and still have the UMD, witch you can sell for instance. you have 2 games in 1……
i think its a good idea if they just sell boxed whitout UMD but with a code so you can download the game. so you can still have a special edition or something

Posted on 20 August, 2010 at 6:54 pm by Socks124
so…where can we order it online?
