Sony has announced a limited-edition Dissidia Final Fantasy PSP bundle will be available for purchase exclusively at GameStops all over the US. The cost? $199.99.

Full press release after the break
Square Enix confirmed today that the release for Dissidia: Final Fantasy in Europe should be revealed in the next few weeks.
“We’ll be making an announcement on the release timing later this month,” a rep told the press today.
The PSP Final Fantasy fighting game, which has a rough “mind 2009″ release date in the US, was the biggest selling title in Japan for the month of January.
In our third Dissidia: Final Fantasy character guide, we take a look at Firion. This uniquely dressed hero, hailing from Final Fantasy II believes he’s so hardcore that he carries around not just one, not even two, but seven weapons in combat!
And we’re going to show you how to use them, and use them well.
In our second Dissidia: Final Fantasy character guide, we take a look at Garland, the legendary villain of Final Fantasy I, who was hunkering around in metal armour and looking generally imposing long before the likes of Golbez and ExDeath came on the scene.
Here you will find a detailed resource on the PlayStation Portable title Dissidia: Final Fantasy.
Updates will be daily, excluding weekends.
In our first Dissidia: Final Fantasy character guide, we take a look at the character who jump started the franchise, the iconic Warrior of Light, who makes his appearance in Dissidia looking similar to how he was originally designed by Yoshitaka Amano, over 20 years ago.
It looks like the PlayStation portable still has some life left in it yet. On its first day at retail in Japan yesterday, Square Enix’s Dissidia: Final Fantasy sold a whopping 350,000 copies!
40,000 of theses sales were of the 20th Anniversary Limited Pack, which came with a limited edition PSP-3000 system. This makes Dissidia’s launch equal to the success of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII — mind you, it doesn’t even come to the first day sales of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G; an insane 670,000 units.
As you already know a US release date has already been confirmed for mid-2009. Here’s hoping it repeats the same success over here.
Running hot on the tails of Dissidia’s official release in Japan today, Square Enix has announced that the game will be released in North American regions in “mid-year 2009″.
“Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of Square Enix(R) interactive entertainment products in North America, announced that DISSIDIA(TM) FINAL FANTASY(R) for the PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system will be available mid-year 2009 in North America.”
