They better officially announce something fast because the budget version has just been released in Asia (and will be released in a couple of days in Japan). I am not sure how long I can resist spending $40 now and play through it with the very detailed FAQ made by The Patrick, like I did with Kenzan.
I am all for supporting an occidental release of the game, but my patience has limits.
@slim934: Like Foxstar says, Sega doesn't want anyone else to get the money if it does turn out to be a success - which, Sega doesn't think it will be a success, but still.
They're sorta like a child that has a toy that everyone else wants to play with. Even though he has lost interest in it, he doesn't want anyone else to have fun with it either.
Finally! Yakuza 3 with English Subs is all I want! Hooray... wait... whats that..?
PSN? Aw crap. I want to have a Physical Copy of the game so that I can really own it. I want to put it in my video game shelf. This sucks! Bring it to NA on disks or not at all!
I guess I still won't get to play it then... Dick move Sega/Sony... dick move!
Judging from Sega's panicked response, deletion of any related threads on their official forums, and their begging of European websites not to run the story, looks like all of this is true. Nice job, Sega.
considering how bad sony sucks at containing leaks, this has a 90% chance of being true. Just like that awesome commercial, haha. "Dear playstation, I got a top that you were making the PS3 slim $299. CONFIRM OR DENY." haha awesome commercial
When they announced Home to the world we was put through months of "Why can't they just release it" - leading to big expectations and lots of hate posts.
When they leak a little info, they can test our temperature while getting us a little hyped.
Please stooop using SKU as a widespread term. It doesn't mean a console.
It's a number you give it to help organize products, and everything that is sold (be it product or service).
Hence, the term "PS3 SKU" can mean a console, game, controller, cable, headset, peripheral or even PS3-specific repairs etc
Taking SKU to mean different console is just a fad, but while it's true, it's not really an applicable term, because it doesn't just mean consoles. The word is something that can be equated to "thing or service" and upon hearing that it makes me wonder if one could be anymore vague.
"I sell SKUs" would quite frankly be a correct, yet terrible answer on the question "What do you sell?"
@ShadowOdin of dubious snowiness: Well that's true but wait till people start dropping SDK left, right and central.
edit: Though if someone did literally leave a dev console out on the streets that'd be a bit insane.

Don't buy it if you don't want to. But this is a great move for us who don't care if we buy digital games or not.
Hooray!

I would've given 2 pudding cups and 1 pack of Gushers.
Which is probably the reason why I'm NOT the fly on the wall during that 'discussion'.
crap.
