View Full Version : EU release date brought forward?!

As of 3~4 days ago, the official Phantasy Star Universe website (Here (http://www.phantasystaruniverse.com/)) has changed the date set on the banner for European users.

Up until then, the same page would call up a top banner image stating an October 24th release for America and a November 24th release for Europe. Now I'm (at least) seeing October 24th, and I'm definitely in Europe still, heh.

I figured I'd let it sit for a few days to see if any of the popular "anticipation" websites and/or forums would catch on to the apparent change, but nothing's happened for a while so I figured I'd ask directly.

Is it possible that the release date has been brought forward so as to give us poor Europeans a fair start with America for once? I personally still find it highly doubtful, so what explanation could there be for this? I've got:

• Misinformation/Mistake on webmaster's part.
• Website coding mistake.
• Some unseen change made by my ISP that "tricks" the site.

We know that the release date you see will change based on the IP address you use to visit the site. Europeans should see "November 24th." So maybe you received an IP address that wasn't in the designated European range.

Guess it's just my ISP mucking about then.

Ah well. Importin' is 40% off compared to our price anyway ^.^

Edit:


Look att http://www.sega.com there it is 24/11 - 06.
Actually that says "The battle begins October 24th" for me as well http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

The Sega of Europe game page (http://www.sega-europe.com/en/Game/176.htm) does cite November, though.
