Bloody hope so.
But rather doubt it.

*Wipes up*

EB was always better, even if it was exactly the same. The colour scheme was much nicer.

Because they never did exist in the UK.

Game were just using their name.

Game decided to stop paying for the name and so they had to stop using it.

There's nothing stopping EB launch themselves in the UK, they just haven't.

So why doesn't EB exist in the UK anymore?

Here's a lesson in Game and Electronics Boutique.

Contrary to popular belief, they were always seperate companies.

However, Game made a deal with EB to use their name and logos because of their popularity in the states.

A few years ago, Game decided they had become popular enough to go on with their own name, so ended the deal. Therefore, all the Electronics Boutique stores had to change their names to Game.

There was a dispute for a time between the two companies after Game were still selling off EB branded accesories. EB claimed that those accesories were their property, and so Game had to quickly get rid of them.

Anyway, as far as reputations go, Electronics Boutique or EBgames are a totally different company to the Game Grp of UK.

It won't hit May 3rd as Nintendo confirmed the game would be playable at next years E3. What's the point of that if it's already out?

My money is on a Mario Kart esq. Christmas 2005 release worldwide.

Well you are wrong, Nintendo confirmed it would be cheaper than the PSP and the exact same site has the price of the PSP at $199. Nintendo recently stated they'll have to suffer at the hand of the price as they can't get enough screens in, and yet still no price mentioned.

I'd have though a Christmas release would be the most attractive time.

May 3rd yep yep yep.
Even if it means NOE will delay the finished game a month or two, they'll try and hit that release.

seeing as EB only remains EB in the US, surely they might be predicting an american release date rather than a european one. That would make more sense...

I'm pretty sure Nintendo confirmed that.
