God of War Collection not hitting Europe this year

Hey, Europe. You're looking lovely today, has anyone told you that? Okay, quick like a band-aid: The PS3 God of War Collection won't make it to Europe this year. The collection includes the first two PS2 games in the series, updated with Trophies and 720p support.

Sony Europe's form response to VG24/7: "We are currently looking into options to bring God of War I and II to SCEE consumers on PS3; however it will not be possible to release the games this calendar year. We will provide further information in due course."

Here's a tip, though: The collection is unlikely to be region locked, so those in Europe who can't wait to experience Kratos' rage with all that extra "p" should probably check in with their favorite importers, or call up a Yank friend across the pond to sail a copy over.

Too bad it's an overrated franchise.

Yeah that's where I was going to have to end up. But no pre-orders with Ebay.
But sure a week or two after release.
The poor mans last resort :)

I realize that this is dissapointing for Europeans. (It's not just the UK).

But to be honest, you can still play both God of War games on PS2. And it will eventually come to PS3. My guess is that it will probably be offered as part of a collector's edition with GOW 3. Also, we North Americans (Canadian myself) have had games delayed here while Europeans got them first.

Just my 2 cents worth.

"so those in Europe who can't wait to experience Kratos' rage with all that extra "p" should probably check in with their favorite importers, or call up a Yank friend across the pond to sail a copy over."
That's my plan! I can't just wait and do nothing while I know that those lucky American gamers got their hands on the new remake gow....
