Rumour: 2008 looking great if Best Buy release list is to be believed
We all know that 2008 is going to be a great year for the PS3 with regards to games, but when are they all coming out? User "Xeonoumus" on the official PlayStation forums might well have the answer. Demanding that his local Best Buy show him a list of 2008 releases, he receives a full list of predicted dates - and they appear quite favourable. We're labelling this a rumour for many reasons, not least because even if these dates are correct today, they could change at any time.
Enough disclaimers. When are we going to see some games this year? Most of the big titles we're looking forward to seem to be due out within the next six months, which is fine by us. We'll list out the big titles below and then post the full scan after the jump.

WOW Great List!
The1 @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:11AM
The only games that I think the dates are set in stone are for Haze, GTA4 and so on. MGS and Killzone will not be out until Holiday 2K8, when Sony will need these heavy hitters to push console sells.
Darko @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:18AM
GTA and killzone in the same month.... bad idea. Rockstar gets my money.
Oh and an off topic but related to best buy comment:
If you aren't happy with some of the "lack luster" free blu ray movies you got with your system, I just returned two of my unopened movies to my local best buy and got 58 dollars in store credit.... no receipt, nothing. Maybe because its the holidays or maybe they haven't gotten as strict as some people claim. Either way free PS3 game or 2, crappy, blu ray movies your choice.
Frank @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:38AM
Uhh that's not Best Buy. That's 100% a Gamestop/Eb games printout. And if you just walk up to any store, they'll happily print one out for you, for any system. You don't have to walk in and "demand" anything. You can even ask them to sort it by either date or title for you.
Michael @ Jan 3rd 2008 3:29PM
I agree with the other comment that this is a gamestop/eb games print out. This has no relation to best buy at all. I work in gamestop so i know that list like the back of my hand and it is true whenever a customer wants a copy of the list we give them one no question asked and we can sort it by date or alphabetically. This bs about demanding one a best buy is a load of garbage and whoever posted this needs to check their sources next time.

PES 2008 in march... it was released in Europe like months ago, I've been waiting for it like crazy :(
Adam @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:57AM
Import, it is region free, although your concern should still be that the game is slightly buggy
huaheuhae @ Jan 3rd 2008 8:46PM
it's only buggy if he doesn't have an hdtv
elephant_stone @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:23AM
I already have SingStar :p
and 2 of the highest rated videos! :p :p
Sometimes (only sometimes), it pays to live in the UK!
Naaiif @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:44AM
Yeh Killzone 2 and Little Big Planet are confirmed September/ Fall releases by Sony themselves.
MGS4 is June right now, but could get delayed till Fall so it can sell more.
navsimpson @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:44AM
We already know that Haze was delayed for 8 months, so I wouldn't trust this list very much:

Did you even follow the link on Neogaf?
The Ubisoft site originally said August, but has now been changed to March.
OT: Killzone 2 and LBP will not release so soon after GTA4. That's just crazy talk.
navsimpson @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:41PM
Whoops! My bad... Who knew reading all the way to the end of something was the way to do it?

Santino @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:51AM
im upset that GT5 isnt on that list.....if they would just stop releasing demos of demos and actually put that effort towards the final game we'd have GT5 in 2008
Neil @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:52AM
Didn't they already say LBP was going to be delayed 'til at least September or something like that?
nahworry @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:06PM
We're happy with Singstar, too, but my wife keeps asking when it will come out in Japan as well (if ever), so that she can download some fine JPop videos for us to sing along to.
Anyone have any info about that?
Organic_Shadow @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:07PM
Killzone and LBP seem like placeholder dates.
I still believe they will be out before the end of Summer, but I don't think April 7th is enough time for them to turn things around and surprise us. Sony GDC is in March correct? Which is also the end of fiscal year for many companies....

When Haze and Killzone 2 come out i will go out and buy a ps3
ryan @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:57PM
i so agree. if there's not a heavy hitter like Xbox just had with Bioshock, i won't buy a system. from Bioshock I went and scooped up all the heavy hitters and am loving it.
Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable 2 should hold me off on getting a pS3 this fall for MGS4 and Killzone 2
kentuckyfried @ Jan 3rd 2008 3:04PM
April/June release dates? Bleah.
I guess I'll be playing COD4 and Oblivion for quite some time. =D
Ranus Studios @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:37PM
I am not getting my hopes up for any of this.
At all.
Sangmort @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:44PM
Definitely not a list from Best Buy.
Trust me, if I had access to a list like this at work I'd be able to stop the employees from putting street-dated games out on the shelves early.~
mizzourah slim @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:57PM
I might be an idiot, but the ps website has a release date of Jan. 15th 2008
http://www.us.playstation.com/
mizzourah slim @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:58PM
for Haze that is. sorry.
mizzourah slim @ Jan 3rd 2008 2:22PM
I must be a moron, my previous post is now gone, but it was that the official ps website gives Haze a Jan. 15th 2008 release date...am I seeing this wrong?
Kxpuc @ Jan 3rd 2008 2:05PM
the GameStop around my house has a similar speculation dates some even earlier then those listed
had LBP, DMC4, Haze and Killzone 2 coming out in march
mizzourah slim @ Jan 3rd 2008 2:31PM
forget it, playstation web just changed Haze to 3/2008.
Jonathon @ Jan 3rd 2008 3:03PM
Haze is still January 15th, according to the Sony website and quite a few other retailers as well...and has been for quite awhile now.
Galley @ Jan 3rd 2008 3:34PM
LittleBigPlanet for $59.99? Yeah, right!
SB @ Jan 3rd 2008 4:09PM
Damn, Killzone 2 and LittleBigPlanet on my birthday? I freakin hope so!
Zixxer @ Jan 3rd 2008 6:04PM
and where's gran turismo in that list???
carl @ Jan 3rd 2008 6:08PM
Thats is some sort of an Ambitious List. The biggest games of the year, will most likely be delayed. On the other hand, Fifa Street 3, MLB 08 this Feb and Mar.!!
frankym @ Jan 3rd 2008 10:11PM
Haze delayed again!??!?!? Why??!? I thought it was coming Jan 15?!?!?!?
Justin @ Jan 4th 2008 1:36AM
My birthday is June 16th.
If MGS4 somehow magically drops the June 17th, I'm delaying my birthday one day.
Draco @ Jan 4th 2008 9:41AM
Is no one going to ask why the store was open on New Years Day?
