You'd think someone will see a great opportunity in releasing this here, really.

All pretty pictures and not much to do. Ergo I'm not really that bothered by the fact it's not getting released in Europe. I'm generally all in favour of any excuse to berate Sony for their shoddy treatment of European gamers, but this one just really makes no difference whatsoever to me. Can we have another story which gives me a good excuse to rant about the fact we still don't have that 80GB MGS4 bundle over here, please? :) I had this pegged as an Endless Ocean-esque slightly vacant non-game interactive experience sort of title.
