We realize that New Zealand is like, a bajillion miles away, but we thought we'd bring your attention to a Kiwi-bound PlayStation release schedule, which finally provides a firm release date for Titan Studios' upcoming PSN title, Fat Princess. According to the list, PS3 owners can begin strengthening soul-crushingly negative obesity stereotypes when the game drops June 18. We still don't know whether the States will see a simultaneous release, but it certainly fits nicely within our previously promised summer launch window.

I am from New Zealand. It is named after a place in Holland (not Denmark!) called Zeeland. Somewhere along the way, someone changed the spelling and put in an 'a' instead of an 'e'.
Jersey is a small island British island which is actually easier to get to from France. I have been there too. There's nothing wrong with it, there just isn't a heck of a lot to do if you're not too interested in old buildings and stuff.
York is a city in England. It's fairly well known and I'm surprised at the lack of knowledge from some of the readers on here. All this info is only a google away.

Oh and Quiggy: We aren't owned by Denmark (not even Holland), we are part of the British commonwealth just like Australia, etc. In fact if you were to compare us to a country, it would be Australia except we are colder and don't have deadly animals everywhere. And our accent isn't so damn horrible! :p

We should make our own little NZ group on Joystiq!
And have you guys heard of www.buttonmasher.co.nz ? They don't produce as much news as Joystiq but they have a real nice community of gamers on the forums, http://www.buttonmasher.co.nz/forums
It would be cool to see you there!

Thanks for all the kind words, we're really trying to make Fat Princess a "gamer's game" at heart--I'm a huge TF2 fan myself, both gameplay and art style, and both have been inspiring to parts of FP.
For anyone that wants to see a little bit more of FP, there's an interview with us about the game in this month's Qore episode which is a free download. (normally you have to pay for it) There's a part where they ask our concept artist how she feels about how violent the game is. :)

Please nobody reply to the above comment because I don't want to read about any ass kissing or calling bullshit because there is no way to tell if this is a Titan developer, or a jackass using that name.On topic: Looks great, would buy but no credit card, Sony need to bring PSN cards to Europe.Off topic: I have chocolate mouth!!!

I'd like to send thanks to Titan Studios for combining the two things I love:
Fat chicks and hilariously excessive gore.

Can we have a game like this with a sumo wrestler? And when he gets huge he stomps around the level like Godzilla against all the little characters.
Are you with me people?
Hello?
Anybody?
Aw, screw it, lets just stick with Fat Princess then. It seriously looks like a lot of fun.

JUNE 18 Top Story: Helghast murdered by animal crossing looking character, our informant tells us that a Helghast simply implied KZ2 was the greatest multiplayer experience ever, 2 hours later he was found dead in a pool of cartoony blood and an axe in his chest, back to you Bob.

Sony. I'm begging you. Please drop your price around E3ish so I can finally get a PS3 just in time for some Fat Princess. If not I'll be uber jealous. Just knock off 100 bucks and I'm sold Sony, SOLD. I'd also really like to play inFamous, and play MGS4, and Uncharted, and LBP (where did that game go? is the community still going strong? good levels still being made?), and of course I'm seriously looking forward to GoW3 (the God kind, not Gears). So that makes 6 exclusive games I'd be sure to own (counting the Uncharted sequel). So here I am Sony, offering you over $600 cold hard cash (counting a $100 price drop) for the system plus some gamage. Alls I ask is for a little bit cheaper console. That is all.

So Mr. French... if you're willing to spend $330 on console and $270 on games...
... why not spend $440 on console, and $160 on games? $160 gets you Uncharted, MGS4, Fat Princess, and LBP anyways.
If i were you, I would just buy it. The PS3 is not getting a price cut anytime soon.
