Yea i guess PSO is kinda a niche community... But still, i think you should be able to buy the game from other websites :p Sega EU are dumb with promotion and advertising, but they cant be that dumb... can they?

Just think of the other European Video Game companies *cough* Nintendo of Europe *cough*

Mind you, there are even worse ones though! Must be something about Europe... :S

Hmmm...well see, that's what you have to hate about the UK and the rest of the EU industry (gaming-wise) Most of the time, you always see people using the internet to buy their stuff. It's expecially annoying if you're not 18 and don't have a credit card either, and your parents don't go for that kind of "You pay for it with the card and I give you the cash" plan.

My main question about it is, why do UK and EU people use the internet for all thier gaming stuff? Most US go to stores and internet is a last resort.

[Lee-yoshi]

Most stores don't stock ALL the games, maybe because they're popular and sold out, or because they're old, and have no copies left. There's always availability somewhere online! I go to stores anyways, mainly because i know everyone who works there! ^_^

This sucks!
There are no 'GAME' shops here...(I'm not kidding,the gaming industry here(And for Nintendo specially!),isn't very evolved. :'( .I guess I'll have to use the internet again..Damn you Damn you GAME!! )

Ivan:Your probably aware of the "$ time we(Europe)have to wait for a game to get here right?Besides,as stated above,the gaming industry isn't very evolved in some european countrys,which are simply left behind,which means:It's hard to find a store specialized in gaming...
(For example,I see the $ht games like Universal Studios' film game,amongst other below-mediocre games everytime I go to a store!And the good ones are always left! :'( ).

Btw:Will it come out for other stores in other countrys? :|

[Lee-yoshi]

I shudda thought it will be available in most games stores in the rest of europe, just not the U.K. I'm unsure how Europe-wide GAME stores are.
