Sorry to join the bashing, but if the European market is really important, stop charging 20-40% more from the customers there than in the US. While this sucks for all people are living in countries with the Euro as their currency, it sucks even more for countries like Switzerland, which have to bear with another 10% more on each and every game… this is also why people are trading their games 2nd hand which troubles EA so much, as it seems…

This would be good news if vegas 1 and 2 (v2 had exact same problems as original port) didnt have so many problems, assassins creed wasnt so reptitive and haze was actually any good. I suppose the fact that dollar is so crap at the moment would be good for the xbox side for ubisoft, but for me i wouldnt care if ubisoft went xbox exclusive, would save me money anyway! Just my opinion.

@ Mobiletone,
agree with you,if FPS was my thing i would have bought a M$-box,since they release 13 a dozen.
no, i wanted games on a platform which showed the differcity of a console,

yes it’s not always sony to blaim (e.g. where is SSX on the next-gen)
but the moment Sony has a possibility to put themselves ahead of the competition :
[repetative mode]
Afrika,
1 world wide store
1 pricing schema
1 world wide release day any content
PSN-cards
1 moviestore worldwide (don’t care about the bandaid called vid-whatever till 2010)
[/repetative mode]
SCE completely FAILs at all possible angles

considering myself a FUGger then

@ terrortime - yes, eveyone should have the opportunity to go around worrying wildlife seems odd that we don’t get it even though the in-game menus are all in english. looks really nice too, i seriously hope they rethink the whole Japan Only deal with that title.

maybe they think us Westerners only want FPS games! it’s titles that strayed away from the norm on the PS2 like this that made that console great, at the moment the PS3 is just churning out the same old same old titles, fps and drivers and beat-em-ups.

oh well, there’s always importing a copy i guess.

ALSO, now that Ubisoft has stopped writing the cheques for the Frag Dolls UK i feel there is an opening in the market for some of us TS regulars to jump in. ‘The Fragged Up Guys’ - i’m thinking Sketchy, E-role, Terrortime, myself and we can have fanpages as teh office gimp

so who’s going to send the proposal to SCEE then?

I don’t believe in Ubisoft one bit. Sure they have some great games, but they almost always publish terrible ports on PS3 which are way overpriced as well.

First they should make the PS3 versions of their games as good or even better as their XBox 360 versions and second they should adjust the price to the US one.

….great news, now if only SCEE and SONY as a whole shared the opinion Europe might not feel like it constantly gets the shaft!

Oh and Motorstorm 2 was nowhere to be seen at the Trafford Centre today! Cheers!

@17

I agree, I think its completely idiotic that Afrika isn’t being released in Europe/the US. It looks great and I’m on the verge of importing if its easy enough to get through with no Japanese knowledge, but I’m hoping someone sees sense and just changes the language for a worldwide release
