I used to think that the PAL version of MGS3 was going to be released in March 2005, but according to this : [URL]http://www9.cd-wow.com/detail_results_3.php?product_code=10242&subcat=ps2[/URL] it's going to be released on December 27th , while according to this : [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000A1P7A/qid=1099089944/ref=pd_ka_1/202-3935948-3468604[/URL] it's going to be released on July 29th, so, I'm a bit confused... Any help would be needed here because I need to buy San Andreas and I also need to pre-order MGS3, so if it's arriving in March/July I'll buy San Andreas, and if it's in December, then I'll pre-order it...

To me, releasing it on the 27th seems a little bit of an odd idea. Doesnt really make sense to release it after Christmas? Surely releasing it before, giving people time to buy it for everyones Christmas stockings would be a better idea for the buisness side of things?

I havent read anything official about the release date anyway.

It's very doubful that it will be here in December. It's more likly that it will out in the states in December.

Go and get GTA, Snake is still on the TBA list on all good reliable sites.

But still no word for us?

That’s why I hate being in Europe, we have to wait for games that are already in our language to be translated into other languages so that other European countries can get them released at the same time. The TV coding is a simple matter that can be changed in minutes I reckon. Damn all of those counties with there strange languages.

Why can we get them at the same time as the US and make the others suffer for having to be different. (Im being very discriminating here en’t I)

That's complete crap.

Why would a JAPANESE company release a JAPANESE game somewhere else first?

That's like releasing Final Fantasy XII over here before Japan.

Well, this has been officially confirmed. 16th of November in U.S.A and 17th of December in Japan, besides do not forget that MGS2 was released in U.S.A first then Japan.
