I think it just might be your area…my girlfriend is in the same field and she has had dozens of offers in the past year and she hasn't graduated…
In the long run it was that last fact that has prevented her from taking them since they wanted her full time and she couldn't due to school.

Looks like the UK release date for the PC version and probably the 360 version is now November 30, 2009 according to Amazon.co.uk

How could Sony be testing an anti-piracy device when the PS3 is blu-ray which is region free

Blu-ray Can have Region….

Quoted from Wikipedia

"Blu-ray Discs may be encoded with a region code, intended to restrict the area of the world in which they can be played, similar in principle to the DVD region codes, although the used geographical regions differ. Blu-ray Disc players sold in a certain region may only play discs encoded for that region. This is primarily used for market segmentation, or price discrimination, but it also allows motion picture studios to control the various aspects of a release (including content and release date) according to the region. Discs may also be produced without region coding, so they can be played on all devices. The countries of the major Blu-ray manufacturers (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, etc.) are in the same region as the Americas. As of late 2008, almost 70% of all released discs were region-free.

Major studios have different region coding policies. Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios have released all of their titles region free. Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. have released most of their titles region free, but titles released by Warner's New Line division were, initially, region-coded but subsequently have been released without being locked. Titles released by other labels on behalf of New Line are still subject to some region locking. Lionsgate and Walt Disney Pictures have released a mix of titles that were region free and region coded. 20th Century Fox has released all but eleven of their titles region coded.

In the Blu-ray region coding system, the United States is placed in region A while regions B and C are used for countries which can experience localization delays before U.S. titles are officially released. The opposite, though, is sometimes true and a few new titles such as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Running Scared were released in certain European countries before the U.S. release. In response to the DVD region system, multi-region and region-free DVD players became dominant in certain markets; certain Blu-ray player models have been modified to allow for playback of Blu-ray and DVD discs with any region code."

Not saying that this doesn't mean it's not going to happen. I am just saying it's possible.

As far as I know PS3 games are playable on any PS3 in any region. It's the DLC/Updates that are locked to region the disc came from. So if you're in Europe with a North American copy of a game, you have to get the DLC from the NA store. I have a few PSN buddies who've run into that issue.

Looks like Atari won't be doing much in Europe any more.

Goodbye Atari, hello Namco
So long, Ghostbusters: The Video Game*

* Not really, but it made a nice little conclusion to that line.

Well that's definitely disappointing, an unfortunate turn for Atari, especially as the development behind Alone in the Dark was primarily driven by the European arm if I'm not mistaken.

Wonder how things will progress following this turn of events.

Fantastic.

So I wonder what will happen to Star Trek Online now after this move.

So does this mean that SONY are not really the evil corporation that everyone said they were.
At least they have stepped in at the 11th hour to distribute the game in Europe, we may not of got it at all.

It makes sense that they make sure that the Sony console owners get it first then as it's there brand and it all ties up with the 25th anniversary of the film.
