Article: Phantasy Star Online 2 (JP) for Vita - Release Date in February 2013

[Tomeeboy]

PSO2 (JP) will be arriving on the Playstation Vita as a free download on February 28, 2013, according to Siliconera. The game will share the same servers as the PC version, which is currently live in Japan, allowing players to play the same characters from either platform and interact in the same virtual world.

In addition to the free download version of the game, SEGA will be releasing a special edition bundle of the game in stores. The bundle will include a number of bonuses, many relating in some way with the Phantasy Star Portable series. Here's a full list:

[*]Eight costumes from PSP2 (previously revealed here)[*]A PSP2 weapon set (Wing Spada, Clad Cannon, Clad 6)[*]A mag evolution device[*]30 Day Premium Set[*]1000 FUN ticket[*]Decorative Little Wing Stickers[*]A soundtrack CD with songs from PSP and PSP2

According to information in the latest Famitsu magazine (via Mike), there will also be a beta test of PSO2 for Vita in January. The bundle will sell for 5,229¥ (about $64) and we'll post more information as it becomes available. UPDATE: The bundle is now available for pre-order and can be purchased here.

A big thanks to Keii for posting the news in our PSO2 forums. For more information and discussion, be sure to check out the above thread!

Shouldn't you put this in the PSP1 and PSP2 categories?

I hope that they bring the Vita version over to the US and EU >.<

Worthless, worthless Vita. Hopefully it will die away soon.

So, we can pay $60+ for the same game we can play FOR FREE on the PC? WOHOO!!! XD
