Project Diva -Dreamy Theater EXTEND-

Project Diva -Dreamy Theater EXTEND- Splash page logo.

Among-st the chaos of TGS announcements and preparations, Sega announced the newest installment of their hit rhythm game series "Miku Hatsune Project Diva"

For those with access to Playstation Network JP, Sega has announced the final details of "Dreamy Theater EXTEND".

So just what is "Project Diva: Dreamy Theater?"

Dreamy Theater is an ongoing compilation of the PSP Project Diva games ported to the Playstation 3. It comes with the interface of the game and the songs/costumes for purchased packs. I.E. if you bought Dreamy Theater 2, songs and costumes that come with the game and ones you have purchased as DLC for Project Diva 2nd will be available*, but not the ones for original Dreamy Theater.

Using a tab system the player can go through the packs they have purchased and play the songs in HD graphics. For Dreamy Theater 2 and EXTEND, users with a 3D television can utilize this function and play in 3D.

Dreamy Theater requires save game data from the PSP version. The data is then transfered through a free app that can be downloaded from PSNjp. After the transfer, all songs and costumes you have unlocked through play are playable on Dreamy Theater.

NOW! On to the fun stuff! 
The new updates to Project Diva EXTEND and song list!

Miku and Luka performing "World's End Dancehall" in "Concert Appreciation Mode" 

Sega has confirmed that all costumes that come with the EXTEND PSP software are available. However, not all of the songs are available.^
