Erm ... I'm not sure that is correct. I have no news on an NTSC version at the moment. As soon as I do have some info on a USA release I will let you know. Estimated release date for EU is November 2005. Our ship dates are set by Hip and Ubisoft though so I cannot give you a better target. Sorry.
hahaha for new zealand?..that is,so my best guess is that we will be recieving this game like a week after the european release..that wud sound rite
Aaah .. okay ... sorry. Oz/NZ will be getting the game via THQ (I think). As they have the same manufacturer approvals, I can't see why they would be that far behind, but it depends on what is being done with branding and packaging. All that stuff is way beyond our call so I really do not know.
Just a quick not to say that, I spotted the new rugby game on Play.com at the measly price of £17.99 (this includes delivery). Very tempted to get my order in now!
