Actually, they finished working on it in March of 2008 after signing a publishing deal with Sony in December 2007.

Have you played it? I found the game fun and humorous.

Actually the only legal thing you violate by modding your PSP is the warranty. Whether you break the EULA or not, depends on which EULA you agreed to. I believe Sony changed it to include unofficial software sometime after FW 2.80, that move in and of itself is a legal grey area.

I love the animation in this video, plus the game looks fun

Wasn't there a December 2005 zombie game with online capabilities? Never mind I found it Infected, it was an arcade-y 3rd person shooter. It got repetitive after an hour of playing.

Is he suggesting that Sony will produce a game that will be the MH of the West?

Until Koei learns how to code some competent A.I. (for your allies and enemies), then it is the same retrodden game the have been making since Dynasty Warriors 2.

I gave up on the series after SO3, I know SO4 will out do it's predecessor it atrociousness. Even though these are repackings(tweaking the sprite colors and adding more animated cutscenes doesn't make it a remake) of the first two games, SE can't reel me into buying them(especially with their standard inflated prices, because they think they're hot ****).

So NamcoBandai plays absolutely no role in bringing this to North America? Look at other Gundam games that are for non Sony systems, and I believe you'll see a similar trend in the games not getting over here.
