I figured this deserves a new thread. Gaijinworks sent an email to all who pre-ordered the game. They've finally gotten the UMDs after some delays due to fixing some bigger bugs/glitches that still remained in the game post-digital release& then going through the submitting process of starting the UMD manufacturing a second time, so they'll start shipping them in the coming weeks.
Time to figure out where my PSP & its charger is.
It's been a long road, but the master UMD manufacturing samples for the physical version of Summon Night 5 have finally come in from overseas, meaning we're just a few weeks away from finally shipping the physical version. We want to thank you all for your patience in this process. We destroyed the original UMD masters that contained the Acquire Skill bug and created a new build that fixed not only that, but another minor bug and some text errors, so we could release the most error-free physical version possible.
Now that the physical release is close, we want to make sure that any of you that have changed addresses since the presale have a chance to update your shipping information. So, if your address has changed, please send an email to --- and include your order number (or numbers), your old address, and the new address so we can update them in our database
Also, Summon Night 5 on PSN has been updated with the same fixes we made for the new UMD, and the new version will be posted to the North American PSN today - YES, TODAY - sometime in the late afternoon. To get the new version 2.0 from PSN, simply delete the game from your device and re-download it. Be sure to check the version number in the store before you re-download, though, to make sure 2.0 is posted and you don't waste time getting the same version you already have.
Note that, due to quirks in the version numbering system between PSN and physical releases, the updated PSN version of Summon Night 5 is 2.0, which is exactly the same, content-wise, as the updated physical UMD that will ship, which is version 1.01. So once you get your physical copy, don't worry, you have the latest version, despite what the version numbering may seem to indicate.
Thanks again for your patience while we worked to get an error-free physical release to you. We think you'll be happy with the result once you have the awesome physical version and soundtrack in your hands, at long last!
