Apparently, Sega is holding some kind of lottery to pick Alpha testers. These are the system requirements for testing the game (as ran through Google translate):

OS: Japanese version of Windows XP 32bit edition or Windows Vista / 7 32bit 64bit edition
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 or higher
Memory: Windows XP: 1.5GB or more, Vista / 7:2 GB or more
HDD space: More than 8GB
Monitor Resolution: 1280 × 720 or higher
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT or higher
Sound Card: DirectSound compatible board (DirectX 9.0c or higher)
DirectX: DirectX 9.0c or higher
Internet access: Broadband (ADSL, fiber, etc.)

They've been giving out Alpha registration cards with the purchase of PSP2:I. A surprising number of people have been selling their cards on YJPA.

Soon your social life will come to an end. The Falz is strong with this one!

The character designs in this game take my fancy that's for sure.

That Newman redhead reminds of one of the characters in the original PSO. Sue, I think her name was? But the new girl's wearing even less clothing than the original.

Website was updated this past week. Tons of new screen shots added, TGS 2010 teaser trailer, a new game trailer, and a new game footage video added, desktop background added.

WARNING: Updated site is not dial-up friendly by any means. I archived the site from work late yesterday. Just the flash background video from the main page by itself is a 9.51 MB file.
