Looks like Birth by Sleep is up for release in the US in ony 3 days!!! 
I've already preordered the Limited Edition PSP Kingdom Hearts Bundle from Gamestop,but if you want to see the box it's going to come in go to this site:Playstation.com KINGDOM HEARTS PSP BUNDLE.
Anyway... i've also found out the US version gets more than the JP version. And since there's no Final Mix for Birth by Sleep,we finally get the better version.
One new thing in the US version is the addition of CRITICAL MODE from KHII Final Mix!!! There's also a bunch of new Keyblades,a new boss,some new thing called 'Crown Stickers' that are like KHII Final Mix's Puzzle,and [i'm not sure] new minigames. Looks like Square Enix is finally anwsering our prayers. If only they would release Final Mix in the US. For now,we have Birth by Sleep to keep us covered till [possibly] KHIII and/or KHFM and KHIIFM hitting US shelves.
*EDIT* Got my hands on some new info.
Crown Stickers show up as crowns in the worlds. (They look exactly like Puzzle pieces,so they should't be to hard to find) After you collect some,you can stick them onto a picture in the Journal for points. Get enough points and you get items.
The Keyblade Graveyard is named 'the Badlands' until you get far enough in the game.
Critical Mode, as usual, ups the difficulty of the game A HELL OF ALOT!! First of all, you get more space for Commands in your Command Deck than in other difficulties. Your HP is half of what it is in other difficulties. The secret movie is also easiest to unlock in this difficulty.
The Trinity Report that unlocks at the Titile Screen for beating a story is now called the Trinity Archives. It includes the Theater mode among other things i'm still researching.
*EDIT* A little late,but Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix has been anounnced in Japan.
It doesn't look like it has anything new except for the stuff released in th US/EU versions and a new boss that looks like Eraqus in his armor. >_< Other than that,there's relly nothing new...
