SMG Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I was in Megamart today to buy the PSP as it is has just been released today in Australia. I asked if they had release date of Liberty City Stories, and they did! The guy looked it up in his records given to the store by Sony last week, and the set date is October 15th. I'm not saying that this is confirmed or iron-clad, because it would still be subject to change, but that is the date set by Sony for Australia.

n13 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 October 15th is a Saturday. As far as I am aware, games come out in Australia on Fridays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalpura Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 So I hope we get it a day early, rather than a week late. But never trust Australian retail shops for release dates on anything gaming related. I was told, by MegaMart no less, March 2006 for the Xbox 360. I hope it is as early as the 15th though, quite looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machima Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I was told, by MegaMart no less, March 2006 for the Xbox 360. They're right. The Xbox 360 won't be released here until around February-March 2006. Australia isn't getting it in November as the 'worldwide' release only includes America, Europe and Japan.

DigitallyInsane^ Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Uhhh... yeah it is, worldwide means worldwide... anyway, on topic, I picked up my preordered PSP yesterday and have been quite impressed indeed with it's perfomance so far; as have my classmates. (Infact I'm writing this post on my PSP!) Can't wait for LCS release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K^2 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 That is because it is worldwide and not worldhigh release. So only the North hemisphere got included. I still think that people who start threads like this one should be banned on sight. I mean, I don't mind some info on the release date, but when everyone who asked for a date at the store starts a thread about it, it becomes very annoying. *Thinks about installing 2.0 on PSP to browse i-net.* Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns.

SMG Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 I still think that people who start threads like this one should be banned on sight. I mean, I don't mind some info on the release date, but when everyone who asked for a date at the store starts a thread about it, it becomes very annoying. Hey, it's not like I presented this as solid information, I just said it how it is. I post this information from Megamart sent from Sony so we can at least have an approximate release date (October). Before this, October was just speculation based on previous GTAs... but LCS is not part of the GTA3 series(LC,VC,SA) but rather a side release or expansion pack type game. The last game of this type was GTA: London 1969, which, wait for it, was released in APRIL of 1999, that's why it's of value to have an October release date confirmed. I don't want to wait another 6 months until April, which before this thread was not unlikely since information on LCS is so scarce and the LCS website hasn't even been put online yet with less than two months to go. Nobody anyone else has posted information obtained from a store like you claim (at least in the first page of the thread list which dates back to a week ago), and you certainly couldn't be bothered to get off your ass and get out into the real world to actively find information. Are you saying that you want everyone that tries to find information and posts a thread about it should be banned on sight too? I hope not.

K^2 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 What I'm saying is that I'm tired to see a new thread for every time someone finds a new source with a new release date. I don't mind the information, but can we keep it all in one thread? It is annoying. Everytime it comes close to the release of a game, the forum looks something like this: Release Date!!!! Official release date from Best Buy. Has the game been released yet? Where can I buy the game? I know the release date! Is it out for XBox yet? Lets speculate about release date. [some actually usefull thread.] Why aren't they porting it to XBox? It is going to be in stores tomorrow! Release date: READ! Where can I buy the game? Well, not quite like this, but I refuse to purposefully add grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors, along with poor usage of capitalization and occasional leet.

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 DVDCrave who are a local and often reliable games store have the release date set as the 21st of October so I'd say anytime in October is a safe bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
