Today a demo event took place in Japan which focused on upcoming PlayStation titles, the biggest attractions being
Final Fantasy XIII and of course,
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Unfortunately for PSP Go owners, a rumor has surfaced that Birth by Sleep may not be available for download from the PlayStation Store.
Take a look at the pamphlet above. The reasoning for this rumor is the fact that PSP titles which are available in the PlayStation Store are supposed to have a PS Store icon next to the UMD icon. As you can see, only the UMD icon is present on the Birth by Sleep page.
There's also
this Twitter post, from a fan who was attending the event, claiming that he was informed by staff working there that there would not be a downloadable version of Birth by Sleep, because Disney has not agreed to online sales of the game.
It's entirely possible that the rumor is false, and that there will be a downloadable version of the game, but if it is true, let's hope something gets worked out before the game is actually released.
