Ok, this is what I suggest:

Someone in Europe contact Atari and see if the game is region locked.

If it's not, then just import it.

Thats the most logical post yet, the logic, it hurts! Make it stop! Seriously though, thats what I'd suggest as well.

I would be floored if the powers that be overlooked this detail and didn't region lock the game.

That sounds like a plan…

If it's not, then just order your game from amazon.com, not amazon.uk

Hopefully someone overlooked that and left that little detail out of the US versions, hopefully.

I think someone on Kotaku said it, the gaming industry must hate your accents or something, but in all seriousness though, it really is a load, I don't get why the gaming industry and folks like Sony hate that area so much.

Of course….those French again with that weird language keep screwing us over. lol

Jokes aside, I think it has to do more with shipping as most of the companies Europeans get games from are from the United States. Shipping cost are a bitch to pay for when they get sent over seas. So that might be the reason.

I know there is a Sony branch in Europe, but Terminal Reality is in the US….at least I think…yeah pretty sure and thus it gets mostly made in the US.

It takes a lot to transfer stuff like that. Especially with the cost to have the game rated by European standards, regional locks, and many things I know I am forgetting, but too lazy to list.

To quote the movie Pretty Women
“No matter what they say, it's all about money.”

More logic in this thread, it still burns! But that sounds plausible, though hopefully for you guys they forgot the locking part hopefully, and yeah, you hit the nail right on the head, its all about the money.

You don't think it's too subtle, Kingpin, you don't think Sony are going to drive down and not see the sign?
