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...

The fact it has Gone Gold for a state release spoils that slightly...

I could be picky and say it comes with Pictochat built-in and is bundled with a Metroid Prime Demo, but...oh balls I just did :)

They did it with MGS2 so it isn't complete crap at all.

I think you will find that Konami originally said December 13th and then they moved it back to 27th as an undisclosed date.

So in this instance it had nothing to do with individual retailers.

Does anyone actually seriously trust release dates set by retailers?

Idiots.

Judging by what happened with Metal Gear Solid 2 it looks like they have done the same here and once again under-estimated the development time.

The game may be finished but I would imagine it will take a while yet for them to code the languages for all European countries. Releasing 2 days *after* Christmas would be stupid anyway so whoever noted that down as a possible release was clearly way off the mark.

Thats true. Saying that though, if I got say, 2 other games for Christmas, I might not be wanting to buy a new game for a fair while, so it would be a real risk for them if people did the same thing.

I read a few days a go it would now be March next year before a PAL release due to all the PAL languages the game has to be coded for.
