Europe's not getting it until September. North America is still set for May, apparently. My guess for why would be some of the rules European countries have about game violence. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't, for example, Germany require things like purple blood?

yeah I think Major Nelson mentioned that in his Blog about the purple blood.

That's where I got it from, but I was hoping someone in Europe could tell us.

Got an America 360 so i'll be getting it in May as I know if will definetly work :-)

Yeah Germany has some crazy rules in place, they want another generation groing up with crazy violent tendencies.

I can remeber in Thunderhawk on the Saturn the awesome fun of strafing little soldiers on the ground....bizarrely removed from the German version! You could blow up vehicles with people inside and buildings full of people...you just couldn't shoot people :s

Yeah lets delay the game for 4 months because one country is retarded...

Why do they delay it for Europe though, will the rest of Europe get purple blood aswell? all they have to do is release it everywhere else, change the blood to purple for Germany and that's it, hardly a 4 month job.

The whole thing's being delayed, now. North America isn't getting it until September either.

Its better that games are delayed than being rushed out to retail. Its better for the gamers as we get a game which has been properly developed and playtested.

Ah well no point in moaning about it as they're aint nothin we can do about it! So just wait for your game to come out and moan at purple blood!
