important news (i am not worthy of capslock)

[lewseys got it covered]

the release dat of rugby 06 has been moved fowards to the 10 of feb on www.play.com !!!! :]:]:]

 

[Muse_Cubed]

Only a week late. I guess it's better than the US (two and a bit years late for WWII...)

 

[lewseys got it covered]

and 3 years for WW1

play.com never know shite about release dates. ignore them

 

[lewseys got it covered]

no they had feb 17th and theyve moved it foward which means theyve been notified!

 

[cavan]

In the past i have found them to be just speculators

 

[lewseys got it covered]

come again?

 

[cavan]

they just guess release dates.

 

[lewseys got it covered]

i know but theyve changed it which means something will have made them changed their mind

 

[captainamerica]

probably because the official uk site changed the date to feb 10:

EA Rugby 06 (UK)

 

[lewseys got it covered]

everyone reckons thats wrong anyway.

Gameplay has the 10th too, and they're normally pretty reliable.

 

[woosaah]

I'll second that, gameplay are awesome updating their release dates, as they are for getting the game to you a day before release.

I know but it maybe worth the wait although rc2006 is coming back into the race

My copy of this months Rugby World magazine turned up in the post this morning and inside it is a full page advertisment for Ea Rugby 06.
Its got a large picture of Henson taking out Mark Cueto of England. Ubove it reads
"Real hits. Real tacticts. Lucky no real changing room smells"

At the bottom of the ad it says OUT FEBUARY 10TH

I think we can say that thats official !

cool beans - two games out in a week

 

[mickyb]

Cant believe me luck! Two games out and a feast of Rugby for a few weeks on the T.V

. Do you think they shoved it forward to compete with RC 2006?

well, to be fair, EA's game will sell five times what RC2006 does either way....

In NZ - a rugby obsessed country - it is not yet on the top ten ps2 games in the selling section and it comes out TOMORROW....

Rugby 2005 (and thus 2006 too I imagine) was number one for weeks leading up tp its release and pre-ordered in epic quantities...

The Nh slant will both help and hinder it and leave it where it was last time...

Rugby 06 will sell like hot cakes...and will, hopefully, justify it (Timberlake style)!

All rugby nations, who know the game too (and there are plenty), will opt more heavily for the EA game I am sure...

anyway, I've halved their sales.

lol. well rc2006 is not looking good again you can't even edit the nobodies names in the career mode and ak47 seems to have master the chip and grubber in one day of playing. ea06 defintely will sell well in nz as rc2006 has too much of a nh slant to it and just simple has no depth to it
