[cobraagent90]

uhhm where?

I pasted the email 2 minutes ago

 

[niky]

So... does that mean it's to be released in November, or it's been released already (January 11) and nobody's bothered to tell us?

Funny e-mail.

Funny e-mail.

Thats the reason i posted it It is the most weird email i have ever received Ever

 

[snoopybg]

November off course.

 

[irnbrutwinturbo]

How is this any different from a release date thread?

 

[Zimmerd]

It's just a stupid release date thread indeed and should be closed! Speculation speculation

 

[Heath_1]

It's stupid. there is NO release date for USA or EU. So it's just the same as walking into any game shop and asking for a release date. they'll tell you something random. I wouldn't believe a word of that email.

 

[RyanWreck]

Yea, that seems very random. I asked my local Gamestop about it twice and one person told me it was Summer of 2010 and the other told me it was Q4 of 2009! If only it would have been the latter.

 

[yogaflame]

Actually i think it will fall to December 2010 to bank on Christmas sales

 

[cobraagent90]

I am sorry this is not a release date thread
Don't focus on the release date but on the publisher

This is a release date thread and should be locked immediately.

The publisher name is just a mistake by the database that gamespot are using. It's a basic programming error, it doesn't mean anything.

As for most popular, well that could be anything from most pre-orders, must viewed on website, most searched for, or shockingly they might have just made it up to get you to pre-order.

 

[TokyoDrift]

A weird e-mail in this day and age, how shocking! As for the dates, if they haven't come from SONY or PD, all will be getting ignored.

Yes the release date is incorrect i am aware of that

 

[Touring Mars]

I don't know exactly what it is we're meant to be discussing here, but whatever it is, there's not enough information in the e-mail to draw any conclusions either way - ignore it and carry on.
