1. The delay probably comes from translating all of the English dialogue to British.

2. As a Canadian who doesn't live in Europe

Do the games come in any other languages than English or are you stuck playing games in English?

3. Wow.
It's possible Sony are ...releasing Feces unto European customers more than Microsoft.
In this regard, Sony am fail...

4. It takes time to translate the different titles and then have them pass the local censorship so its not surprising. Ordering from the states can be dodgy as the package might get stopped by customs, some times is just as well to sit through the wait and buy locally.

5. i think in France the games has to be translated in french, not the voice but the subtitles, menus, items
other than that i think its up to the games maker, i know Hayvenly Sword come in 11 (or 9 i forgot) languages

6. Hey Europe, PS3 is region free... learn how to import or use ebay.

7. To the canadian, yeah they generally will translate/add all languages for major territories german,french, spanish, dutch and sometime change things to UK english. all those other languages mean gamers who dont care if colour is spelled with out the u have to wait. But sometimes it to make some games region friendly like the spactic in mario party 8. A think to note is that singstar is suppose to come out on the 24th of this month so my manager says and the singstar store to be opened at songs cost a £1 a song. I think singstar is a broken game seeing as you can just hum at the right pitch to get perfect.

9. wow... the proverbial european cup simply overflows with both quality downloads and prompt releases.

10. Those don't look like European release dates...well they kind of do. But apart from huge releases like Halo and GTA and stuff, since when do games in the UK NOT come out on a friday?
All those dates are at least two days out, the games are going to either come out five days earlier or two days later.

11. Lol @ James.

I really don't think its a language issue. Lair and Warhawk have both gone gold and their STILL way delayed. I think its more of either:

- Distribution problems to the various different vendors in each location
- ... I'm not fluent in territory legal language, but some sort of, legal thing with each territory =P
- Could be ESRB ratings in each country (I think that's taken care of though o.0)

... some developer needs to come out on Playstation.Blog and talk about these territorial delays.

12. Er what am I saying. Not developer. Some... VP of sales or marketing or something.

18. Sony i use to stick up for you and defined the PS3 but after seeing the Japanese and Hong Kong, USA PS Store its come down to me saying what everyone else is you do not care about people in the UK.

Japanese PS store has so meny PS1 games they have Tekken 2 FPS alot of Plat formers and RPG. they have alot of add ons to boot to like sonic blast factory. what do we have 3 PS1 games 3 addon packs for 3 games Motor storm Ridge Racer 7 and Genji.
What the hell gives you the right to put games on the Playstation Network that don’t work for one Spyro 2 it wont load a level and i’m stoped looking at a black screen.
I wont my Money back.
You say that you want the gamers to have a good experiences on the PS3 all the other the world the only country i see that the gamers ant complaneing is Japan because they get games that don’t get relised in europe games that i for would like to play and read it in English not Japanese.

We don’t want stupid trailers that we can see on the net or on TV of films coming out the Japanese site hardly has does they have the Game Movies which i think is Fantastic why the hell did you only bring out Boku no Natsu Yasumi 3 in Japan i was looking forward to that i was even going to buy a copy online when i find out that you can’t change the language to English and that it doesn’t have english sub titles in it get your act together.

And what happend to Supper Puzzle street fighter HD that was supposed to be a world wide relish why is Europe always last in line we still don’t even have Tekken 5 DR online.

Sony if i have to write a letter to you i will. And if things do not change i will take this as fare as i can just to see that u are trying to in prove things.
If i remember one of Your team members said that the People in Europe don’t mind delays because we don’t make a big fuse a about it. Will if u want a big Fuse i’ll give u one.
