Gundam Battle Operation for PS3

[Tochiro]

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation announced in todays Famitsu.

8-12 players online and apparently 'free to play' (until you want the GOOD mobile suits, of course).

Beta test will run from march 29-31.

I got excited until I saw "8-12 players online" and "free to play".

I might check it out, or I might be too lazy to make a Japanese PSN account. Either way, it's not the Gundam Battle game on the PS3 that we've been waiting for.

I signed on to my Japanese account to download it....and absolutely nothing happened. Is the download region locked? Or do you hav to wait for them to send you a download code or something? Looked normal on the PSN store, clicked on it, and then the download option completely went away....weak!!

The download on PSN was only for the beta, which was limited to 10,000 ppl. No-one I know was able to get in either. We will just have to wait until the game releases proper in June.

I don't feel so bad tben, stupid closed beta

So you have to make a japanese PSN account for this right? And beyond that, there is no region blocking or anything?

I wonder why they are making this game free though, and how they plan on making money off of it. I hope they don't give the Zeons a zaku and the Feddies a GM, and force you to buy everything else though....
