balaban Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 In that case surely SI or Sega would have the decency to allow early authentication. Never seen that happen in any of the previous cases of games released early that needed activation......then again none of them was a SEGA game.

Abs_UK Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 so its beconming like previous years where the is game is starting to be released early..

backpackant Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It looks like a french file sharing site. Some of the comments include "Fake". It's probably got a lovely little virus if you get it from here. Unless "fake" means something else in French. Although from other threads it might be that continental shops are releasing it early without realising the DRM restrictions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great82 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 No, it's not a file sharing site. "jeuxvideo.com" is a famous video games website and the link in the first post lead to their forums. "It's probably got a lovely little virus if you get it from here" You didn't understand. There is no file to download. Someone bought the game in a french shop today. They said "fake" cause they were waiting for a picture of the box to proove it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmywils Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 All this 'early release' stuff is actually no suprise really. It happens every year and just because we cant actually play it until the 14th, doesnt and wont stop some retailers selling it early. Have to say though, if retailers release it early, its usually by a couple of days, not a week! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasma Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Please, SI, give an official statement about this... i dont understand why you have to be told so many times. the game is not officially released. you have the game, well done to you. but since you got it too early you cannot play it until the offical release date. its that simple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullen89 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Lots of independent stores will be selling it early and in years gone by this wouldn't have been a problem for the customers. However, with SI's new totalitarian approach then it is we the customers that are losing out in more ways than one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevkak Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 The thing is, what's the point spending time playing the game early when it needs the patch, the demo is too buggy to enjoy, chances are the full game is the same If I came across the game early I'd delay playing it because of the upcoming update.

cynet Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 the only problem with that is it is full of bugs and the patch is not till the 14th the same day of release so pointless really but release dates mean bugger all in some countries and france is one of them.

Bongo-Bongo Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Is that my fault? So I have to "suffer" for others -mistakes-? You should take it up with those who sold you the game. Go back to the store and ask them for an explanation as to why they sold you a game that you are not able to play until the 14th and demand an explanation. If they start acting as though they have done nothing wrong, start threatening to report them as they are illegally selling the game. At the end of the day, it's the store who are in the wrong, not SI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pompeyfan Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 IMO the way SI/SEGA are doing it is better - if they want to enforce a set release date which is their right, I'd much rather have the game sat here a few days unplayable till release date than the alternative of stock not being sent out early enough for delivery on release date so not getting it to play till a few days later.
