Telltale: Jurassic Park won't come to European Xbox 360s this year
19
Jurassic Park: The Game will not arrive on European Xbox 360s in 2011, Telltale Games announced. Jurassic Park will launch for PSN, Mac and PC on Nov. 15 in North America and, Telltale hopes, Europe.
"Europe is a big deal to us so we're working hard to have the game out on PSN in Europe on the same day as here in North America," a Telltale team member wrote in a forum post. "We'll be able to confirm that soon hopefully.
"As for Xbox 360, we are not a European publisher i.e., we don't have a European office. That means that we need a publishing partner over there to get the game out to you. The good news is that we'll be able to make an announcement on that soon. So, while we won't be able to get the 360 version to you before the end of the year, we'll do everything that we can to get it to you as soon as possible."
To potentially ease the pain, Telltale is offering $10 off pre-orders of the Jurassic Park Deluxe Edition, making it $39.99, although European orders may not arrive in time for the holidays, Telltale warned. This seems like a lot of effort to explain itself from Telltale, when it could have simply said, "Nuh-uh-uh -- you didn't say the magic word."

So Sony can publish your game worldwide wherever you're from, but Microsoft require you to have an office in the region you release in? I think Sony wins this round.

@CyberAly if I am not mistaken. The Xbox 360 version is being released as physical media, while the PS3 version is being released digitally. Meaning they would need a distributor in Europe to release a Xbox 360 version there.

This may also have something to do with it.

You're not mistaken. The 360 version is going to be disk based while all the others will be episodic digital releases.

I'm buying the PS3 version, but the Deluxe Edition looks cool, unfortunate is for PC/MAC only. If I had the money I would get the Deluxe Edition just for the extra content and get the game on PSN.

@CaptBirdeye....Did you not open up the comments section by trolling this article? Now you ask what's wrong with others?....Strange.

I didn't troll, it wasn't ment in that way, the fact that no one had commented was what I was referring to not the news itself.
