It took them long enough, but Square Enix finally managed to pin down a specific date for Dissidia: Final Fantasy's US launch this week. The good news was still tainted with some bad, however: Rock Band: Unplugged got leaked onto the Internets three weeks before its official release date. On second thought, whether this is good news or bad news depends entirely on your stance regarding the piracy issue. I bet the devs and the publisher, not to mention Sony, are really pissed about it though.

Read on for the rest of this week's happenings in the PSP Weekend Warrior.

The Hardware:

Sony sees stronger sales for PS3 and PSP, PS Store sales expected to triple. Link.
Analysis: DS and PSP shipments to balloon to 63.5 million by 2013. Link.

The Games:

Dissidia: Final Fantasy

Things are definitely starting to wind down now that E3's only a couple of weeks away. Even the PSP2 rumors have died down, probably because it's all going to become clear in June. Next week, we're also putting out our own E3 2009 features, so stay tuned for those.

Oh, and have a heart. Help save Chuck. That show is awesome.
