The brain teaser
echochrome is finally getting a US release. (Check out the downloadable demo
here.) The PSP version of
echochrome will be a downloadable title, available in early May for only $10. All the content featured in the PSP version will be unique to the system (and none of the content from the PS3 version will be in the handheld version either).
A level editor is included with the game, but unfortunately for PSP owners, trading levels can only happen via local Ad-Hoc, not Infrastructure. We're hoping that with Memory Stick, it'll be possible for friends to simply e-mail levels to each other.

i kinda liked the demo. it was too short to really make a firm decision but for $10 i think i can take that risk. it does seem like a nice pick up and play puzzler though. count me in.

Hah, and here I was waiting for the Asian UMD release to drop down to about that much before buying it.
I might still do that since I don't want to deal with "points", don't own a PS3 and don't want to install the PC Store.

But all you need for the PC Store is the downloader and it's only like 2MB.

@HH
o rly? For some reason I thought you couldn't even browse the store without installing a bunch of worthless crap. (Probably all the non-Windows users who're still screwed.)
Thanks for the correction. (...Though I still won't be downloading it for the time being, as I'd have to go out and buy a new memory stick to hold it... xD)

you just need to install the network downloader, create an account, and you're good to go

I was about to do the same thing, was looking at it and going "maybe next month."
So frikin' happy, especially after seeing some of the later puzzles in the review of the imported version.

For $10, this would be a magnificent bargain. I got the Asian version and it has around 100 levels of awesomeness. Definitely one of the best titles on the PSP. The violin music is also great.

can't it release on UMD aswell?

Hey if we make cool levels and send to you guys, you think you can post them?
sicsided @ Apr 1st 2008 11:24AM
I second this!

This is pretty bad. Guess I'll be importing the asian version. The PSP version had all the stuff the PS3 version did and more. With this you're basically paying for a dumbed down dlc version.
