Well, it must suck getting games last! You even get movies last! I mean, Tomb Raider isn\'t even in the UK yet!
But why do EURO gamers get so screwed? I mean, in AUS, we get quite a few games before the EURO do (Le Mans, Crazy Taxi, Extermination) and yet the PAL format is the same.
What gives? I think that SONY UK need to pick up their acts, because otherwise Nintendo or Microsoft might answers UK gamers prayers...
-
Yes, we Europeans seem to be in for it most of the time
1) You have far superior weather (al least to Scotland, anyway).
2) Xmas is nice and sunny over there.
3) Nice weather = more cleavage exposure
4) Game releases are generally way behind
5) We\'re way behind for movies
Er, if any non-European can think of any more depressing reasons, please feel free to make us more glum.....
-
I would much rather get Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels on original release day than Tomb Raider.
Euros also get more demos then US gets. Heck, US doesn\'t get jack for demos.
-
True, but what would you rather have...? Demos or full-releases first....?
Also, DVD-wise, their movies come out far quicker, usually have more special features, and they are much cheaper too.
:(

1. tomb raider is out 2day in scotland!
2. we actually get 60% more games quicker than the australians but nintendo favour australia !
3. we get 3% more games quicker than the usa and japan!! lol
4. we........... actually uk is s hit for releases !!!!!!!!!!!!! i give in dont say i didnt try hmmmmmmmphhhhh
-
Europe gets the majority of titles before we do here in Aussie and NZ.
I heard that some companys release some games first down here to minimise piracy. Could be true. I dont see how it would though.
-
Tomb Raider has been in the theaters here in Iceland for about a week now.
-
Well, it can\'t be all that bad over in Europe. I had a trip there.. Germany, Austria, France, Czech, and Switzerland are beautiful... It\'s just that everything else... Well, sucks. lol
-
I think the reson us Australians get some games quicker here is because of the SONY plant in Canberra or where ever it is. Games are now being made here.
NZ doesn\'t have a very large user base, I mean, you have a population of 3 million...
NZ - 3 million
AUS - 21 million
UK - 59 million
USA - 284 million
Japan - 1288 million
Any wonder JAP gamers get there games first!
-
I feel sorry for the Euro peoples, but Hawaii get the USA games last! :D
-
Hehehehe
-
Be thankful you don\'t live in Canada, the land of the Taxed to death. :D
-
I feel sorry for those Americans who will have to wait for WRC 2001 :D
-
Lol, so you\'re trying to say Europe is worse than AU when it comes to games...
:laughing:
-
Finland is a beautiful place...
And heck, we got GBA two days earlier than rest of the europe...
The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, the birds are singing...
We are always at least a month behind movies - I wonder when I\'ll get the opportunity to watch A.I....
The sky is blue, the water is warm, the people are nice...
Usually the Pal-conversions are lazy and pushed quickly - we get games late, etc.
Finland is the home of Santa Claus and many reindeer...
I\'m so glad GBA doesn\'t have regional codes...
Overall = Living in Finland = sucks, Being a gamer in Finland = partly sucks
-
Gee, we Americans really have it good. No wonder everyone hates us:D
Perhaps America should annex Europe and make states out of ya. Not only will you get to see what life is like when you actually get to keep some of the money you earn, but you\'ll get to use that money to buy games faster!

Haha, very funny...

Reality break (all gaming aside)...there is room to appreciate your European environs:
How many of you folks over the pond listen to the evening and morning news, not to here *IF* but rather, HOW MANY folks were shot last night? And are you particularly and overly protective of your vehicles as you worry that you\'ll get carjacked?!
Now it ain\'t that I don\'t like Lock, Stock & Two Smokin\' Barrels...but is that entertainment, or a reflection of day to day life in Europe? Cuz frankly, we see toooo much of that for REAL over here. And that\'s a cryin\' shame.

Yes Samwise, I am. I mean, you live in Denmark, now THAT is the pits...
-
What sucks the most is that we don\'t get Japanese voices in Onimusha!! Who needs stupid english, french or german!! So so mad.
At least our crime rate\'s low.

Ouch ##Racer##, your insightful opinion means so much to me. :rolleyes:
So you got a few games early. What about all those games you get later? I mean, Melbourne House can only make so many games...
-
You all don\'t live in North America. THAT is the pits:D
-
I can\'t see what the big deal is. If you\'re the impatient type who can\'t wait a few days or more, to play a game... then there\'s a solution: import a PS2 from the States. Problem solved. Personally I wouldn\'t bother because I can wait. Besides some games are occasionally released in Europe before the US (Z.O.E. comes to mind, as does games like The Getaway, Dropship, Wipeout: Fusion, who\'ll all probably be released here first).
You have an import PS2 don\'t you ##RaCeR##? That\'s good for you or else you would have to wait until August to play GT3 in Australia, while the US/Europe gets it this month. Now THAT would suck for such a hardcore GT3 fan.
-
I think USA would not be the right country for me, but Germany sucks, too. I\'m not glad of a country but of work I did.
-
Im with Samwise!
Samwise for president! :D :) ;)
Yaaaayy! :D
EU might not get some games first..
But its a hell of a good place to live..
(chicks, good weather, pretty low crime level (at least in sweden), so school shootings.. ect.)
