I guess it's because they need to translate the application to every single language in Europe. I don't get why Sony insists on spending time translating to swedish for example. We're quite capable of reading english. Microsoft doesn't do that, they just translate to german, italian, spanish and french. The rest of Europe does know how to speak english! Just release it!

It doesn't take more time to translate additional languages. Of course, every language has their own translator so they can work on all languages simultaneously. Ok, maybe it takes more time to test, but I think that the hold-up is caused by SCEEs extreme lameassness.

Because it's a NEW version of Street Fighter II genius. Tons of gameplay tweaks that totally change characters, and it's the new tournament standard plus it has online. And it's cheap.

as long as they keep making SF2 games, people will continue playing them....
it's probably the biggest tournament fighting game ever.

Anyway the US store is SOOO much cheaper than the EU one so no harm done. Soon I'll only use the US store and my US account anyway. Poor job Sony!!!

Find a nice American willing to buy a PSN card for you and send you the code (after receiving funds from you of course, usually via paypal). There are lots of people on Neogaf offering to help us Europeans with this dilemma. Personally I'll wait until it's out over here. I have plenty to play in the meantime, especially with the ace wipeout HD patch.

Well i'm not too worried about the delay- after all it's still the same old SF we've been playing for years. I could be wrong, but since there is no public holiday this week in the UK, us Brits will prob get the same service as usual this week- ie sometime on Thursday afternoon.

How do i get this game through the US account?
I don't think it will accept a debit card if it's registered to a UK home?

No, right now Pay cards seem like the only way to get stuff US PSN for us Euros.
Although my Entropay card still works, a lot of the new joiners say it's stopped working now.
So you joined Entropay in August you'll be ok. :/

Yeah, my entropay still works to. So happy I joined early.
Love SF2, can't wait for it to come online, bought me a Hori Arcade stick just for it (and future Street fighters).

Sony hates Europe - MS wants our money now. Sony know we will wait ( and forgive ) no matter what they do.

Wow man, relax a bit, the Store almost never updates this early. It's always funny to me to see how aggravated people get over minor game delays or how pathetic they get when they start begging for the game to come out. It's just a video game. It'll come out when it comes out.

It's FLAT OUT unprofessional. If this were a Brick and Mortar situation, that game would be available at midnight on release date. Would you tolerate these kind of delays if this were a physical package release? I think not.
So no I will not CHILL OUT, COOL IT, or any other such thing. I bought MY PS3 because I wanted to get my hands on SF and all its iterations.
If you say something will be available, then make it available.
Do you get paid on Friday? I'm sure you will be more than happy to wait . . .
Give me SF or give me . . . Alright, that's a lil extreme!

No, I wouldn't care if a B&M store had a product delay. And getting paid on time is just a tad bit different than being able to buy something on time. I love how pissy you get about a game being delayed though. Man, I hope you're younger than 16.

Well I downloaded it from the US store, registered a new account with a random adress in America, and using my Visa World Card and it worked. So If any of you people are desperate to play this game, thats the way to do it... And to be honest, for real SF fans, this is a MUST HAVE!

No major game has ever been translated to swedish, just for the record.
The problem is Sony insists on translating games to 3 different languages wich is German, Spanish and French.
There are over 30 countries in europe and they all have adapted to the game and just had to learn the nglish terms in a game.
So basically there are 3 countries in europe who screws and delayes releases for the rest of europes gaming-comunity, and i think it is time for Sony/Developers to start thinking what the hell they are doing.
Players of all nations adapt to a game and not the other way around.
