Heavy Rain out February 26 in the UK, February 23 in US [Update]

heavyrain7

Update: SCEE’s just confirmed Heavy Rain will get a pre-release demo.

Sony’s just confirmed Heavy Rain for a February 26 release in the UK, with a release two days earlier on February 24 in mainland Europe.

SCEA’s also just confirmed that the game’ll hit the US on February 23, contradicting a date of February 16 released last night in the latest Qore episode.

Qore clearly said the game would release on February 16 yesterday. Just goes to show.

Quibbles aside, at least now you can get excited about actually playing the Quantic thriller.

For those of you in the UK, be sure to check HMV for the special edition, which includes DLC and a spangly 3D case.

If you’re in the US; unlucky. No collector’s pack for you. Am cry.

Nope. Though in reality I’ll be doing the same. I’ll buy it if it seems that it’s worth another play through.

Well you know, I don’t know if I want to support that kind of game anyway. Just so long as a get to try it, and then have justifications for slagging it off.

Going in with low expectations might help too!

It does not matter if you rent or buy.. lets say Blockbuster of GameFly buys X amount of games, that X amount of games contributes to final sales. So it wont matter if you rent the game 1 time or 100 times or never.. Simly it depends how many copies buys the renter.
