Sony denies European launch list

by Alexander Sliwinski { Sep 7th 2007 at 12:30PM }

Sony Europe is denying that Kotaku was given a list of European release dates for numerous titles, including the "tentative" launch of Home on Oct. 11. A Euro rep for Sony tells GI.biz regarding the release dates, "I don't know where Kotaku have taken them from or why they're claiming 'SCEE have clarified dates' as we haven't sent them anything, and neither have our Central office." As there is no link for the list on Kotaku, it would mean they received the information first hand. This would not be the first time Kotaku received high-level Sony information early from an inside source.

Sony would only confirm the Heavenly Sword (Sept. 14) and Warhawk (Sept. 21) release dates for Europe, which were already known. Release dates for games like Ratchet and Clank on Nov. 7 are in line with the typical European delay. The Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (Dec. 5) and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (Dec. '07) dates, if true, give a strong indication that they'd be out in the States a few weeks earlier. We're sure to find out if these dates hold up soon enough. Sony is planning to make their Home announcements at the Tokyo Game Show which runs Sept. 20-23.

I can't wait to get Home so that I can start communicating with people. I'm so lonely.

HaleysComet @ Sep 7th 2007 12:49PM

So am I...

I KNOW! I'll go to Best Buy and buy that psTRIPLE! Now I can have "real" friends and a community of nice friendly people who I can show my Virtual Home to while we listen to some cool music!

They should let you bring the weapons and vehicles from Warhawk into Home to make it more interesting.

GRANTED @ Sep 7th 2007 1:09PM

they should let me drop a clusterbomb on your home so you have to buy the expansion pack, "home-less"

"This would not be the first time Kotaku received high-level Sony information early from an inside source."

True, but it also wouldn't be the first time that Kotaku printed unsourced, incorrect information.

vinny @ Sep 7th 2007 1:17PM

if sony denies it, its obviously true

Written by Polly back then...

Kotaku: So we heard a rumor about this PS Home thing, any truth to this?

Sony: STFU or we'll blackball your ass.

Kotaku: ...oookaaaay... what a bunch of bitches.

Sony: We're sorry, we didn't mean it. We're still cool right?
