For those looking for a hard copy of Echochrome on the PlayStation Portable, now might be a good time to start checking Play-Asia's stock. LevelUp was able to exclusively confirm that when the game comes to North America, it will only be available as a digital download via the PlayStation Network. The game is currently available on UMD in Japan and Asia.
We recently ran our own review of Echochrome for the PSP, and our reviewer -- the illustrious Brad "Dick McVengeance" Rice -- liked it so much he gave it an 8.5, branding it with our "Buy it!" stamp. I actually spoke to one person yesterday who said that they imported the game based on that review alone -- did you?
No word on when Echochrome will make its way to North America, but I hope it happens before I break down and import it myself.

I think the UMD version has more levels and stuff, too, so the lack of a US UMD release kinda sucks.
Seriously, import it. Like tsunamikitsune said, it's all in English. Best game to import now, aside from Space Invaders Extreme. Excellent mashup of M.C. Escher and Lemmings.
It really doesn't fit on a 32MB card.
On the related note of how big is this download going to be, I can tell you it's not going to fit on the starter 32MB card. Viewing the ISO from my PSP (God I love the setting that mounts my UMD as USB :D) it falls just shy of 130 MB. That's .iso, .cso will probably shave a few MB, but god knows what kind of compression Sony will put on it.
I think it's the latter, by the sounds of it. We can do remote play I guess, and access it from there.
what Im wondering though is if a firned buys it on a PS3, can we simply download it from their PS3?
or I may just grab the UMD version, if that has more content. If that's not the case though, then I'll totally go for a digital version.
