* Everyone is thanking Sidhe and blaming Sony, ok but shouldn't Sidhe have thought about this stuff long ago? why didn't they get this right the first time?
* WHY not release the XBOX/PC versions?
sounds like Sony might be threatening them so the game doesn't have an exclusive period on Xbox, if so (very likely) this just stinks!
I bought an xbox, why should I have to wait for Sony to pass the game?
I shouldn't have to... I was excited about this game, now i'm just frustrated and dissapointed because the game will be delayed close to 2 months for a silly reason, I'm all for delays for improvements but the gameplay isn't being touched! I'll play the game but my interest has dropped off quite a bit.
I (and many others) will be deep into PGR2 when it comes out, some people may not have the extra $100 to spend.

EA Sports is a much bigger company than Sidhe.
And there is a rumour that EA Sports is going to dump the PS2 and create games solely on the Xbox and PC.

need for speed hot pursuit 2 took forever 2 load because ea made it load from the disc the only way i could play it decently was with a no cd patch
and rugby2004 is the worst game ive ever played (mind you if suxs on console 2)
That's why copy-protection sucks.
It only affects the people who purchased the game.
I don't like getting the CD out each time, so always crack the game (or download one).
The developers did well in the early-90s when they stopped putting all that copy protection in.
It's not as bad now as back then they had 3 ways - floppy having to be in, using a code wheel, or entering a word from the manual (give you word number, line number, page number). - the last 2 seriously pissed me off
But the past 3-4 years they've started doing it again. Pointless as anyone who wants to copy a game can still do it easily.

canberra_raiders2k2 said:also the reason for the delay is cause when a game gets released on other consoles 1st it usually means they bought the rights or something like that...PC and X-box dont have the full rights to the rugby league game...so it gets released on the same day as the others..so if either version is delayed then so will the others.

i highly doubt that...the ps2 is the leading console...it may not match up to the GC and X-box but more ppl prefer the ps2...why would EA want to develop games for systems that dont sell as much games as the ps2??
i know u didnt make it up im just saying that rumours are usually bs..

They obviously have little amount of balls in their negotiation team. They should have said fine we will redo the parts you don't like but we are releasing the game now on XBOX and PC so you may lose sales!

Tadpole said:Guys like this p*** me right off! Everyone involved in this game has had to work to a very limited budget and what we have seen of it so far has been pretty damn good. Mario has been here in HIS OWN TIME to keep us updated on the going ons of the whole thing.
Like Mario said, they only ever announced 1 release date so therefore it has been delayed once..all other dates that had been flying around were speculative.
Anyway what im trying to say is dont bag Sidhe, Mario or anyone else involved in the production of this game. They have done an outstanding job to date and deserve a big pat on the back for their tireless efforts in bringing a game that people have been waiting for for years.
Anyway thats my 2 bobs worth![]()
Dude, I didn't say Sidhe are being lazy or anything, I'm sure they have put a lot of sweat into this game... I'm also appreciative how Mario comes here to communicate with everyone, I sent him an email a while back and he replied within minutes!
I just think that maybe this delay could've been avoided if they planned a little better.
Also regarding the delay... I have no problems with delays, they happen all the time and usually result in an improved product, but the Xbox version (what i'm buying) is just sitting around in completed form out of my reach, that's really rubbing salt into the wound.
Don't think i'm not greatful though, i'm allowed to be dissapointed here cause it stinks. i'm forking out $100 for this game.
