Fastson i think i have the answer to your problem, don\'t quote me

but i think the delay has something to do with the WTC attacks.
on one of my DVD demo disks there is a level where the battle takes place in a old air field/port.
and not only is it possible to shoot down the choppers that carry the power ups but i also saw one of the cars downing a Passanger plane
maybe someone can confirm if this is the case.
Also over here in the UK we still having TV programmes and AD\'s cut.
EXAMPLE Buffy the Vampire slayer season 5 episode 5 (NO PLACE LIKE HOME) last night on BBC2, Buffy fights GLORY the HELL GOD and flees with the Monk, GLORY gets mad and brings down the wharehouse, now the scene where she climbs out of the rubbel and says"boy i am mad" at the end was cut.
so if you want my advice mate get the DVD remote and like me wait for word on Twisted metal black.
We should at get newsof all the offical Europen Delays in the next edition of The Offical Playstation 2 Mag.
