[QUOTE="Substitute, post: 131063"] HB studios produced the game in Canada which uses an NTSC format. In order to play it in the EU (I'm afraid I don't know what Australasia uses) it needs to be in Pal format (apparently better quality) which requires changing the way the game sends information (or something like that). Anyway this takes time, too long for EA and they had to set the game back. PAL, NTSC (and SECAM) do not apply on computers so it can be played on the PC. As EA Link is primarily targeted at America it is released on EA Link. This is also a worldwide service and can be downloaded byy anyone off there. Sadly it costs more and requires an active internet link to play. The PC version was not released over here (Europe and Australasia) so they could time it with the PS2 release. I guess they wanted to be fair or something, who knows? But thats the basic gist of it. Bear in mind this game was scheduled for release in October, it certainly looks like they've done evrything they could to save time. [/QUOTE]
