Apparently due to India breaking the release date pretty badly, Sony have given the go ahead for the game to be sold early everywhere...

Update:

Killzone 2 India Release has been pre-poned. the Game is in transit to bangalore. we should have the copies with us latest by tomm [wednesday, 11th feb '09].

kindly confirm your orders asap and pm me for payment details.

all payments have to be made latest by tomm noon [ wednesday, 11th feb]

all people who confirm by tomm will be eligible for the steel book edition, as this edition will be sold out on day 1 itself.

Lucky India.

They don't have special rules, some large retail chain broke release date [so the story goes] and instead of legal action/going after them I presume Sony are just giving up on damage control and telling everyone to sell it - The people won't get online any quicker, Guerilla have said MP won't be up until the 25th at the latest, maybe a day or two earlier.

It's like Best Buy or Walmarts all starting to sell it early, you got two options, try to damage control it or just give into it. Our countries unfortunately tend to stick to release dates slightly better than the dodgy eastern ones though :p

I remember Toys'R'Us cocked up with Mass Effect in America by about a week or something - Think they shut it down before it was too widespread, but there was quite a few copies of it going on ebay afterwards.

It IS special rules because that happens every time, some retail store / chain brakes the release date in some hole of a country, X company just allows them to do it. If it happens in America or developed EU countries, the **** hits the fan. They can still complete the game while they wait, at least that's something :p

Well I think the assumption is "hole country" will only supply about 8% of the sales anyway :p The street date has been broken and everyone in the country who wants a copy probably already does :laugh:

The USA and UK, followed by certain countries in Europe tend to be where the buck is at nowadays [UK overtakes Japan].

And hey, we've got our 8 minute demo to last another 15 days :punk: :cry:

Well, it's not like the game will sell any less if they decide to open up the floodgates on the game. Breaking the designated release date worldwide will definitely surprise a lot of people and may create some odd sales numbers and also ruins the main purpose of never breaking that street date; numbers and prestige for the company "Oh we sold this much at launch", "our game was the first to ..." tsk - We, as gamers, just want to play :cry:

And yes, that 8 minute demo is definitely going to keep us busy ... I really wish they would patch it, open up for the rest of the difficulty levels, then it actually might hold me over for another week.

I want this damn game already. I held off on preordering it as I'd like to get it launch day. Most places here don't ship it out until launch day and don't end up getting it til a few days later or in this case, after the weekend. I'll pickup a copy when its released but dammit, I want the demo! :angry:

Bring Your Helghast to Work Day

Intro-402.jpg

We asked for a bailout and received this guy

To celebrate the arrival of Killzone 2, Sony sent a Helghast soldier to the GameDaily office so that he could pimp the video game, renew our faith in PlayStation 3 and run amok. Little did we know that he'd take over as GameDaily CEO and force us to burn our Xbox 360s. We should have known better than to trust a dude with such an evil looking mask.

Office supplies 101

Because we didn't have any Helghast weapons, he grabbed the first gun he could find, a Lancer Assault Rifle from Gears of War 2. Then he proceeded to trim a little off the top of our interns.

couldn't you preorder it, then do an in store pickup. that way you'd have it the day of. I am pretty sure best buy does that. and thats what i am planning on doing.

do you guys think I should order it on Amazon.ca or just get it on the day it comes out?

You should have ordered from Amazon.ca earlier like me ;)

By the way, the official NeoGAF topic puts anything "Official" on this board to shame :laugh:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=351913

Actually if we all collected the news and previews etc for our official topics into one post at the start, they'd be just as good.

NW > Neogaf :yes:

Cesspool of the internet list:

1: 4chan

2: 7chan

3: 12chan

4: Neogaf

5: GT forums / N4G

I could go on but you get the idea, just have a swatch of AB's bookmarks :p

;)

What you on about? :laugh:

I'm not commenting on anything to do with NeoGAF vs Neowin. Just saying the effort that's gone into that Official Topic is pretty sweet.

I don't post on the GAF, but there's a lot of good content flying around, and it's the only board I know of that has a fairly large userbase of devs/journalists who post.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
