It has finally been decided by SonicTeam that the PS2 version of AOTI will be dropped and the game will become PC-exclusive after the end of maintenance on March 31, 2011. This decision is due to the upcoming "update 3rd" which will add completely new content to the game.

PS2 players are urged to upgrade to the PC version which is free to download. Also, a special campaign is planned to occur in April for players who make the switch. However, if you do not intend to change over to the PC version and your GUARDIANS License is automatically renewing each month, you must manually cancel your license, otherwise you will continue to be charged.

"Update 3rd" is planned to begin in April, following the end of PS2 services. This update will add completely new fields and missions to the game. Also, look forward to an event which will be connected with Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity (which goes on sale February 24).

I'm ecstatic about this news. I was actually talking with shade just a few nights ago about this, too. I'd pretty much given up hope that they'd drop the PS2 version of the game (I figured it was too far along in its life to happen), but I'm happy that they've proved me wrong. It's going to be great getting to play the PSP2 areas in a proper format without having to deal with a handheld!
