Still no word on if this will be heading to the West, but SEGA will officially be releasing the PS Vita version of the popular Phantasy Star Online 2 in Japan on February 28th. Like the PC version, it will be a free to play download title, though a retail edition will also be available. Those opting to buy the physical copy will be awarded with additional items and costumes.
Phantasy Star Online 2 will also come bundled with a new Ice Silver PS Vita, which will see a Japanese release on the 28th of February as well.
A Western release of the PC version, meanwhile, is still vaguely scheduled for “early 2013” with no word on plans for a Western Vita release.
We’ll keep you posted.

Still hoping for a Western release soon. I’ll get a Vita for that.
What I don’t understand is, pso-world.com says “Early 2013, while the official SEGA announcement just says “2013”. So which is it?
Is SEGA of America lying to the fans(pso-world.com)?
Or was that a typo on pso-world.com’s part?
Either way, silence from SoA is becoming very disturbing right now.
