I want a PS3 just for Metal gear Solid 4, even though I know basically nothing about the game, how pathetic

Give two years and it will be on the 360 in some shape or form. </BLOCKQUOTE>

thats an extra 2 years though </BLOCKQUOTE>

Two year wait or splashing out £500 now on something I would hardley use, no contest.

They've gone down the microsoft route of leaving it up to the Publishers to decide. </BLOCKQUOTE>

But are preventing major online import stores from shipping to the EU

Work that one out.

Isn't that illegal?

[retired_mdamphousse]

So Sony don't mind them shipping to the US but don't want them shipping to Europe?

[retired_derek]

Even funnier is it's clearly Sony, as Virtua Fighter 5 doesnt have the same restrictions on delivery for the 360 version.

I'd hazard a guess that the reaons they can't currently ship to the EU is that the machine itself is not avialable, but it is in the US. By allowing them to ship games to the EU it would be actively encouraging early imports.

If i were to put money on it, I'd say the restrictions will be relaxed once the unit itself is available here.

That's just putting on my "let's look at this objectively and not automatically assume Sony are evil" hat though, so who knows?

[retired_derek]

Hope you're right Herman, as the main possibility of me getting a PS3 would be to get Winning Eleven on Import.

[trotamundos]

Well it would be a bit remiss of them to try and stop the machine being imported but allowed the games to come over here. You can just imagine mongs cueing up to go "OMG WTF that makes no sense Sony, what a bad mistake they should all be shot".

Or similar.
