Rumors are rife that Sony Computer Entertainment will use its Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference on June 3 to unveil the long-speculated PSP2. However, regardless of whether that reveal happens, the publisher isn't quite done with the current iteration of its handheld. This week, Sony announced that the limited-edition Dissidia: Final Fantasy PSP bundle will be available exclusively through GameStop on August 25, alongside the stand-alone game.

The bundle includes a number of goodies catered toward Final Fantasy fans. In addition to Square Enix's Dissidia: Final Fantasy, the bundle includes Sony Pictures' Final Fantasy VII Advent Children on UMD, a 2GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, and a Mystic Silver PSP-3000. The pack will retail for $199.99, $30 more than the standard stand-alone system price.

Dissidia features more than 20 characters from the first dozen Final Fantasy games, all of whom are called into battle by warring gods. In addition to series protagonists such as Squall, Cloud, and Tidus, the roster includes more villainous entrants such as Sephiroth. Dissidia is a 3D fighter, but the game retains Final Fantasy conventions, including summon attacks and role-playing-game-style character development.

jmangafan, I think you meant you couldn't care less about AC. Common grammar mistake. Anyways, I personally think the bundle's worth is really determined by each individual. If you already have a PSP, especially a PSP-3000, I see no reason to go out and buy this bundle. But if you maybe have a earlier model and want to upgrade and also like the game, you shouldn't look any further.

yeah... I don't think so. I might buy the Dissidia game, but I'm not getting a psp until Kingdom Hearts is released. By that time the psp can either be cheap, or more enticing to waste money on. Wait, wouldn't news like this quell any rumors of a new psp, or a new handheld that Sony might make a statement about at E3? Hhmm... I don't know.

Fun, although I'd prefer another game over a UMD movie. That's my opinion with every bundle, really.

Not as good as the Japanese Dissidia bundle, but still quite a good deal if you're looking to pick up a PSP and the game. Plus there's the additional movie too (though yeah, Advent Children does get pretty nonsensical. Pretty, but nonsensical.) BTW, the Japanese one had an FF logo on the PSP, as well as a specially designed 20th Anniversary box for the entire bundle.
