Scratch off that Autumn release you've noted for Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Square Enix has finally given a more specific release date for the game's PAL outing along with details about a new collector's edition.

Europe and other PAL territories will be seeing Dissidia: Final Fantasy across retail shelves on September 4. It's later than the US launch, but perhaps the CE package can make up for it. Here's what it contains:

• Unique Dissidia: Final Fantasy clamshell packaging
• Full boxed copy of the Dissidia: Final Fantasy game
• Dissidia: Final Fantasy Best Selection Soundtrack Mini-CD: The Dissidia: Final Fantasy Best Selection Soundtrack Mini-CD includes a selection of music tracks from the game that are especially chosen for this Special Edition version by composer Takeharu Ishimoto. The Mini-CD will be presented inside a unique pochette and contain liner notes written by Takeharu Ishimoto.
• Hardback, 48-page The Art of Dissidia: Final Fantasy artwork book: featuring character artwork, CG rendered art and more from across the game production.
• Brady Games Official Miniguide: 32-page game guide printed in full colour, with character artwork, descriptions and walkthrough information – to help you win the battle.
• Exclusive Lithograph Prints: 2 Exclusive Lithograph prints, inside a unique Dissidia: Final Fantasy branded bandwrap featuring artwork not used to promote the original Japanese version of the game.

Note that the last item may be an EB Games exclusive, as the AU EB Games site says that it is. Even without a PSP to go along with it, all that content sounds loads better than the PSP bundle GameStop is offering. Shame the press release didn't mention any pricing details.
