Indian gamers were anxiously waiting for the release of Killzone 2, the much anticipated shooter for the PS3. We were expecting Killzone 2 to release in India somewhere around February 27, 2009. But to our surprise, we got Killzone 2 today, i.e. on February 11, 2009. We purchased the official copy of Killzone 2 from a retailer in Mumbai.
We didn’t know if this was a goof up or if it was an official release. Killzone 2 is expected to release in the United States on February 27, 2009 and in Europe on February 25, 2009. Seldom does it happen that India gets a game before it is released in the west.
To clarify, we called up Milestone Interactive, the distributors of the game in India and asked if the game has officially launched in India, they said, “No comments.â€

This can actually be a good strategy. People who are willing to buy the game generally fall for the temptation of getting it early off the torrents.

Not for a PS3 game. No mod = no piracy. ;)

Alright those who failed to get the logic, let me reiterate.

This can actually be a good strategy, if implemented for all games in countries where piracy is high and games release later than rest of the world. People who are willing to buy the game generally fall for the temptation of getting it early off the torrents.

How dare you talk of petty things like piracy in presence of such a shiny and powerful machine called the ps3 !! :rofl:

Everyone on this thread is wearing tinted glasses to realise that Ren was probably referring to all the platforms. :lol: And he is partially right, cause i personally know quite a few people who are frustrated with late launches in India and can't wait that long enough and go download the game instead.

If they wanna reduce piracy then should sell games at a lower cost in bimaru countries.Introducing them early won't be enough.
