Well thats just stupid. Big thumbs down to Rockstar Leeds from me. Sorry.

Heh.. something to play for a week or two over the summer I guess.

Sam Houser:

Rockstar Games doesn't set the release dates or prices. Our publisher, Take-Two, does.

There's many reasons for this:

1 ) Their shares dropped dramaticly recently due to that Eurogamer article about the delay. (Will probably more after this announcement)

2 ) They've spent money last year "at an alarming rate" and needs to show this year that they can get back on their feet and make more....

3 ) Oil Prices are just rising and the game is published in North America.

4 ) The demand for LCS in Europe is much, much lower in Europe than North America.

4 ) The demand for LCS in Europe is much, much lower in Europe than North America.

All the reason to lower the price then to get more people to buy it.

Honestly I think it's more down to the economy over here, well the UK mainly. It's ridiculous.

Yeah I apologise, I did realise as soon as I posted it that it was probably the publisher that decided that. But I don't like the game anyway

Oooh zino's biased against something for a change

I'm still buying it, I love the PSP version,Can't wait to see what it's like on ps2, even if it is a straight port, The multiplayer is hella fun

Meh, ill buy it, but its not really as if im anticipating it.

Only 19.99, why GTA LCS for PSP was like .99

I might buy it, thank godnees I didnt get a PSP for this game

Haha thats a good point, some people would have bought a PSP just for this game (and then bought some others afterwards). Yeah I know it's portable and everything, but now that it'll be available for the PS2s everybody's got, there's no need for the underwhelming PSP. I feel sorry for those that don't play it regularly.

Well yeah there is an amount of people that just bought the PSP to play LCS. But that's why it's considered as a "killer application". It makes people want to get the system.

It'd be funny if the first two months of sales for LCS PS2 is much better than the PSP version. I mean yeah there did nearly ship 20 million PSP units. But put over a 100million PS2s and a price like that together... then you get amazing sales

Oh and interestingly since October, LCS for PSP is STILL the number one rented game at Gamefly!

Haha thats a good point, some people would have bought a PSP just for this game

i live in British Columbia,Canada and LCS is out already and i got a copy of one,so YESS

For , I won't be able to turn it down.

Yes, European's have to pay an outrageous price for the game,

Not really. Twenty Quid for a PS2 is a lot better than paying the full £30 to £40 you'd normally have to pay in this country. The only problem with the price is that it suggests that the game will be a straight port, as opposed to having any new/improved features (Swimming, Flying etc), as it would probably be a waste of time and resources for a company to make changes to the game if it's going to sold for half the usual price.

We are talking about the PS2 version, not PSP.
