This is something that many gamers, fan or not, have been wondering about for the past year or so. Well, we finally have an answer to catch you up to date with the current situation.

In the most recent issue of Dengeki Playstation, Tetsuya Nomura was asked about the Sony NGP as well as content for the Playstation Network. He replied that, while he currently could not discuss any possible titles for the NGP, he does want to put Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep on the PSN, making it available for download.

However, because of Disney and Utada Hikaru, the plans are left at a standstill. No specific reasons were mentioned, but it shouldn't be a surprise that Disney doesn't take kindly to having their products released digitially as downloadable content, and likewise a similar case with Utada. Another thing to mention is that they may have to apply for a new license to use her content for this release.

Update: There are some reports that say that Nomura states that Disney and Utada are not what are putting the game on hold, but that he has something else (he wouldn't specify) that he's working on first.
