Well it has happened again. Canadian gamers get screwed by another gaming company for a release date just so some more people down in Canadas toilet can play the game. Not that I dislike the USA or think that we deserve it more. No completely opposite. EVERYONE, that wants to buy the game should be able to buy it when it comes out.

I mean look at Halo 3, released by Microsoft, viewed to be one of the stupidest companies in the world when it comes to service. But still they some how can coordinate the ability to have thier game released on the same day across the globe. But somehow every other company can't seem to get thier act together when it comes to getting their product out there, as well as game quality.

Now don't blame Harmonix, they just built a cool looking game. So what it has come down to is that Canadians get the screwjob just because some idiot in MTV games or EA was too busy surfing facebook, or checking out youtube to get his freaking job done right. I really do hope that by Dec 17, I won't care about your game anymore so I won't help you get paid. Sometimes I think that maybe John Riccitiello, CEO of EA is packing the damn boxes himself. Same to the rest of you game publishers, take a lesson from Bill, maybe email him to ask him how to release a game correctly. Until then Publishers and Distributors please picture me giving you a big one fingered salute.:mad:

Really? You just called us "Canada's Toilet".

I have to wait for the PS2 version but I'm not ranting about it.

The PS2 was always supposed to be a month later though. It was only a week ago they decided to pull the bait-and-switch and push it back a month. If the delay was caused by the French packaging error, it's unfortunate, but understandable. Sometimes the production can just get screwed up and there's nothing that can be done about it. If they decided to simply push back the Canadian date so that Americans have more bundles at launch, then that's not cool.

If you call ham Canadian bacon, what do you call bacon? I've always wondered.
