SCEE boss promises more 'day and date' releases with SCEA
Many European gamers have been frustrated by the inexplicable delays of games in Europe. Yes, there are localization issues, but when a title like echochrome, which features very little text, releases weeks after its American counterpart, people seemingly have the right to complain.
Grilled at a recent E3 cocktail, SCEE boss David Reeves told Eurogamer that "every relevant title that SCEA announced for America will also be introduced to the PAL territories - most of them day and date." Even newly revealed titles like Ratchet & Clank: The Quest for Booty (pictured, above) will arrive in Europe ... although a Blu-ray version of that game will be available in PAL regions as well.
MotorStorm Pacific Rift, LittleBigPlanet, Siren: Blood Curse, Resistance 2 are all promised to show up on European PS3 systems before the end of March 2009.

There's a blu-ray version of Booty as well?
That seems ... odd.
How many hours of gameplay are we getting for $14.99 anyway?

I would say maybe at least 5 hours since it's a bit short of the actual game.

wasnt lbp slated for October... and the devs said that they could probably get it out in September? If I have to wait until March... imma be pissed.

If there's a Blu-ray of R&C for $15, I'll import it.

We're still missing some early releases, I think we still haven't had that Cash Guns Chaos or whatever it was.
Averna @ Jul 17th 2008 1:18PM
*coughcoughrockbandcough* although i dont think that has much to do with sony

If the blu-ray version is £10 or less, I'll definitely buy it over a download copy.

"MotorStorm Pacific Rift, LittleBigPlanet, Siren: Blood Curse, Resistance 2 are all promised to show up on European PS3 systems before the end of March 2009."
- whoa! That statement scares me a little! I know Oct is before March'09 but this sounds like they are covering themselves for big delays for Europe!
LBP is being developed by a British studio so surely we would get it first...yeah right!
