Solstice costume delayed in Europe

Archive: 29 posts


"Solstice costume delayed in Europe" is an automatically posted news item which was grabbed from MediaMolecule.com (www.mediamolecule.com). The original article can be found here (http://www.mediamolecule.com/2009/06/18/solstice-costume-delayed-in-europe/).


-------------------------

In typical British summer fashion, the summer solstice has been rained off until next week. That?s right, I?m afraid to say, that the solstice costume due today has been delayed in Europe, and will now be coming out next Thursday, at the same time as the North American store.

Sorry about that folks. – We shed a little tear at the news, and then ate some chocolate to cheer up. We suggest you do the same.

Sony, you failed.

Disgraceful. MM have obviously caved in to pressure and reneged on their promise to us.

No offence to our American friends , I love you all and all things American but why do you have to go whinging about the possibility of us in Europe getting something a few days early from a UK company making a UK developed game.

You do seem to conveniently forget that you got the MGS Pack before we did and you've been getting all sorts of videogames and related content months , even years , before Europe for the last 10+ years !!

USA and Japan have even had games in the past that have NEVER had a release in Europe but I didn't hear you complain about that. How do you think we feel then ?

I have always believed and always will that everyone should get the same content at exactly the same time but Sony in their infinite wisdom have never subscribed to that fair policy. I'm sure they just like to antagonise people and set them against one another. There can be no other logical reason for it.

I would have been perfectly happy if MM had just said in the first place that we were all getting it at the same time but to say what they did and then totally go back on their word for purely political reasons is sheer hypocrisy and a slap in the face to their European fan base.

Still we've come to expect it now and the bigger the game gets the more it will happen because MM are only a small naive company after all and are getting swallowed up by the bigger fish in the pond like Sony and now Disney so I'm afraid us UK and European based fans are just going to have to get used to being shafted even more in future.

No change there then.

It's out on the Asian store.

That should clear up the confusion surrounding that image.

TSFRJ. He's from america, but he said he has a european account (EUTSFRJ). I think he got it when it first came on, but then I guess they got it away from the market because of the delay of the summer solstice.

PS: You can't delay a solstice without moving the earth or sun. ; )

I don't care who gets it first. I was just hoping they pulled it and were working on a change in order to make sure we can take those ridiculous flowers off the robe if we want to.2009-06-18 19:17:00

It was out on Asia PSN store and and I was able to use it in a beta because beta didn't have region locks

TSFRJ-NorthAmerica
EUTSFRJ-Europe
JPTSFRJ-Japan
TSFRJPSN-Asia
Also I have a TOP secret account that only SCE knows the name of and region of.
