This post contains information of what's presented in a special book and is not a guide for the actual game. Sega is giving out the "Infinity Guide Book" in participating game shops across Japan. It has 20 pages chocked full of the latest information of PSP2i.
The UMD Demo, will also be given out to those who sign up for a special drawing. The Guide Book has a postcard which can be sent to an address to enter the drawing. You must write the names of up to 4 players total on the postcard then attach a 50 yen stamp on top of it.
Sega will send out 10,000 UMD demos of PSP2i to the selected winners. The Winner will act as a representative to the other 3 players, and can then install the UMD demo onto their memory sticks.
Friday December 24th, 2010 is the deadline for this application. You can view a page sample here, or just wait until tomorrow where this page will magically update.
