They do KNOW the time difference is in hours, right?

Well, as this page title suggests, you have to wonder if publishers actually that the times difference between here and North America is measured in hours and not days, yeah?

I only raise this because, according to these release dates, the 'simultaneous' launch of Warhawk is spread over what appears to be two weeks... which is how long we'll have to wait to see it on the UK shelves after Sony's tilty-shooty-flyer is launched over in the US. This is despite Game Director Dylan Jobe promising that we'd all see Warhawk at the same time. Cheers.

Anyway, Warhawk now hits these shores on the 12th September but the good news is that it'll include a headset in the bundle for some in-game smack-talking PS3 stylee.

Other titles with confirmed dates are the much vaunted Heavenly Sword on the 19th September, Folklore on the 10th October and then both Lair and Eye of Judgement on the 24th October.

Now much as I like the PS3 and want to see it do well I'm still wondering where the 'killer app' is... then again, I've been waiting for the same thing on the Xbox 360 for nearly two years...

Oh man…but I can see why, there is far more localisation required for such a small territory. English, French, German, Italian, Eastern Europe now and three Scandanavian languages. Its just a logistics thing I think.
Ok… So why the lag for the UK then? We speak English don't we?
Yes, but not American English. Thankfully.
It doesnt really matter does it?? i means i would never goto to my local gameshop and spend £50 on a ps3 game when you can get them online for about £30 and with ps3 games that are region free it doesnt matter when the uk realease is!! If you really want the game there be nothing stopping you ordering online and saving a few bucks right?
It all depends on how American you want to be. 51st state? Bucks? I believe they are pounds.
