Or you could play it on an emulator on PC (and buy a cheap UMD copy of the game if you wanted to own it legally, which you should! I don't know what it's going for up there but in the States you can get it new in shrink wrap for under $20). I haven't tried any PSP emulators yet (since I own a PSP) but Mongrel was just talking about them over in the Valkyria thread.
I don't have a Sony console and my computer's in far too sorry a shape to even think about running an emulator, but I'll keep it in mind when I get around to procuring a new machine. Considering my time situation the game seems like it'd be right up my alley. I've been mostly looking at the various FF7 spinoffs with, let's say, amused disinterest, but I do have a lot of goodwill for the original and I'm definitely intrigued now.

Right, it seems like something they haven't done before and I really want to see what they make of it.
