Why is it that Europeans always have to wait for things to get released over here.

Apart from "Super Rub A' Dub" We always get the updates, games, and demos after the Americans. I don't like that. In Denmark We don't even have "Mortal Combat II" yet, I don't know if it's out in other European Countries.

 Like I would really like to play the "Ninja Gaiden Sigma" Demo or "Mortal Combat II" But I can't Because I live in Europe, and I don't want to make a fake US Account, because I don't have an American Credit Card, so What's the USE!?

there are enough danish people who want to play this game in danish so do people here in hollland they want in in dutch...

but there are more things that holds europe back like different game laws in every country.... like germany who like to ban games like this...

and ofcourse pal devs will release their content first on europe psn, heavenly sword will hit europe psn first

It's the same here in Sweden. I guess it's because EU is a fraud.

[\QUOTE]

You lie!! .. We dutch people hardly translate anything to dutch and I only hear the dutch people and the dutch game reviewers complain when a game is translated to dutch (at least without the option for english) think about black & white that was translated to dutch and you did not have the option to change it.. Terrible.

Same with the psn i was annoyed that i could not choose english as my language when i chose The netherlands as my country .. but then again I love my country so i did not care all to much.

As for the topic starter make a us account .. might not be much use for MK2 but you can download the demo's for free.

where did i say all ?

the is a portion of gamers that want their games in dutch...

dont get me wrong i also hate dutch translated games

but for instance french , spanish etc the majority want their games in their own language thats why it takes some time with some games to translate

I agree that it sucks for you guys and gals in EU. But to answer your question what's the use? You don't need any credit card info to download demos. So if you want to play the Ninja Gaiden Demo then you can just make a US account and download it.

 

EDIT: also, there was an article on 1up.com that described a work-around for not having a credit card from the store you're attempting to purchase from.  I think the main jist of it was you can only add amounts smaller than 40 or 50 dollars. If you do that then it won't check the region or address.
