Leak - PSU JP: 31.08.2006 !

[voxie]

The Japanese post is leaked over here.

From what I can make out, it says from an insider at "FAMI" (Famitsu magazine?) says that Sega have decided/determined to go for 31st August 2006 for release of PSU.

The post also mentions something about the PS2 Beta being distributed (via game disc presumedly) to 3,000 persons. The Xbox 360 version however, is undecided.

Before anyone argues, yes I found it on a Japanese website, no it's not an official source.

Perhaps someone here can help translate the post better than I did]!

That huge ass block of japanese text reads:

　PSU sale day in 8/31 decision!
ファミ it will sell quickly and according to information the sale day of PSU decision probably will put out to 8/31, is. Xbox360 edition is undecided
In addition the preceding experience disk of PS2 edition is distributed to 3000, so is. The β test for the PS2 user we would like to see rubbing, it does, the ょ う?

I'm hoping to swing pass my Japanese book shop on Friday to find a copy. But I don't know how fast their import stock delivers, lol could be a week.

Hey, that's my birthday. What a coincidence. (It was a one-in-three-hundred-sixty-five chance. That's not so bad, compared to some things...)

Anyways, I can only hope this is true. I'd just be glad to have any sort of release date at all at this point other than "Fall 2006" or "2006"...

I wonder if the halloween event will be up when the US logs in or will they skip that because of it being opening day and they want everyone to see the normal non-holiday stuff.

i'd like a halloween theme on opening day. =]
