It might pay to email them to ensure it will work in Australasia.

 

[Bullitt]

AU machines are PAL also.

Didnt no how to make a link to this site but i looked up this and it shows all countries who have PAL ps2's. New Zealand, Australia and South Africa included!!!!

 

[-JJ-]

Yeah, I know that PAL formats work in PAL countries, I just found it odd that this site specifically said it would only work on UK and European PS2's.

look here, its a thread from a topic about pal/ntsc xbox's. just thought you mite be interested!!

Im getting the pc version from gamesman in nz, but mite change it 2 xbox!!Mite not play well on my pc!!

 

[Bullitt]

If your worried about regioning, you can mod consoles so they can play everything.

Just search Google for moding consoles.

eg...

http://www.xbox-emulation.co.uk/

 

[kinkon89]

european conslole games work down here cos i got games from engaland and they all work!!

i even got vice city from england!

and it works fine!

 

[Los Lover]

Sorry - is that on PS2 or xbox?

English games that work down here that is (is down here NZ?)

 

[Los Lover]

I see the POMS won't answer my question!!!

Thus I must inform you that according to all the English sites today - the new release date is 11/03....

Karma.

 

[ak47]

As at today australias release date is the 17thMarch2005

Englands would NOT be more than 1 week away from that date

The 11th sounds more believable, than the 4th

If ur from NZ/AUS u can use UK ps2 games.

If ur willing to order via web, and get a pom on ur cover, and prey it gets back to you before local release, u can........it WILL WORK on PS2's in australia and NZ.

As long as its PAL, its all good!!!!!

 

[Los Lover]

Thanks heaps for the info!!!!

Now that it is 11/03 and not 04/03 AND because the English sites don't seem to post to NZ -have checked their destination list and we r not included!? - and if they did it might not arrive first...

I think I will just have to wait.

It's crazy though - If I saw someone walking past me on the street with an advance copy or an EA employee with one etc - I would probably mug him!

This is really weird.

UK/Europe apparently the 4th of March.

North America the 9th of March.

That large island with the deadly creatures and the other one with sheep - the 17 of March.

What the hell, EA? What. The. Hell?

 

[Los Lover]

Why can't we put heat on EA by claiming that we are ALL going to order our copies from overseas making the NZ EA sales look like total s**t?

That might bring that date forward.

Is their a consumer's rights law being broken here - if the game is ready to go at the same time - why shouldn't it be released at the same time.

I have pre-ordered from GPstore and am now emailing them to ask why I shouldn't cancel and buy from England.

However,
I think the UK release date is now 11/03...

can someone confirm?
