carp Move. Do this again with games I care about, and I dunno about me being a Sonyfanboy anymore.

But the guide is pretty bad in that it assumes you have a "Patapon 2 UMD". It keeps telling you to remove the UMD from the case carefully. To not eject the Patapon 2 UMD while playing. And that you may be prompted to update your firmware once you put the UMD in to play the game. It even goes into detail about how you should insert the UMD into the PSP. At first I thought they just got lazy and took the European manual (as Patapon 2 was released on UMD in Europe and Asia in the winter), but then its got SCEA, and LocoRoco 2's American price on it (there is an ad at the back of the manual for LocoRoco 2). Or Sony just got the PSP game manual template and just forgot to remove references to UMD on it. Something that could have happened.

I just think that this decision was done in haste, Patapon 2 was going to get a UMD release here. It was announced as Download-Only a month and a half before North American release. The manual and case support this. Unless there was some bug that couldn't be rectified before UMD pressing (which there shouldn't have been considering the game has been out since last year in other territories) there isn't a real reason for it to suddenly switch. The only reason I can see why Patapon 2 went download only was Sony seeing how bad LocoRoco 2 did here (although the first didn't do well here either, where as Patapon did) and decided to use it as a test for the ever looming possibility of PSP Go!.

I would have just got the European or Asian UMD releases (since PSP is region-free and each copy of the game features bundles of languages on the UMD, including English) had I not seen prices around $40-$70 CDN. At some places the price was triple that of the North American release. I probably would have biten on the cheaper ones had the series not have a $20 MSRP here.

Then again SCEA is weird. Ratchet Future: Quest For Booty, and Siren: Blood Curse got Blu-Ray releases in other regions, but went download-only here. The only difference was that those two were always meant to be download-only.
