It's hard to believe, but someone has finally found a way to fill a UMD disc with game content. Falcom's latest Legend of Heroes game, Eiyuu Densetsu Sora no Kiseki SC as it's known in Japan, will be the first game to use two UMDs, the company revealed today.

Set for Japanese PSP release on 9/27, Sora no Kiseki is the sequel to Eiyuu Densetsu Sora no Kiseki FC, both originally PC RPGs. FC stands for First Chapter. We'll let you figure out what SC stands for. FC was released for the Japanese PSP back in September but has yet to make its way to international audiences.

PSP isnt a console, nor how is it the same as old consoles, when old consoles did not have UMD:rofl:

[Basil Zero]

wouldnt it be considered as a Double game pack similar to a GBA game pack?

I, for one think this is a huge step in psp history, and proves that psp games can be much more than what most people believe them to be.

It means the game is huge, you are implying that thei game will be tonnes better just because of this, it is probably bloated with fmv.

Well the bigger the game the better right

UMD's hold alot of data really and to have 2 on the go must make a certain game such as a RPG huge so great to hear about this, maybe soon new MGS games and such will use this dual disc option as well, Metal Gear Solid 1 used 2 discs and it was one of the most successful games in history due to size and story.
