Yes, yes, you read the title right -- go ahead and laugh.

Kingdom Hearts 2 won't be released in Australia till the 28th September. I've pre-ordered my copy to ensure I get one, and I've purchased a new slim PS2 to ensure it works (as my original PS2 is evil and stupid).

When was the game released elsewhere again? I want to know so I can have a bitch about how long it's taken to come to Australia... I think it's been... all year... or something...

Oh, and if ANYBODY spoils ANYTHING for me, I'll kill them. I've managed to avoid spoilers this long...

Why does it take SO LONG for some games to be converted to PAL???

It was... end of March, I believe, when it was released in the States...

Yeah, you have the right to bitch about the release date.

Hopefully you remember the story from the first two, it took so long...

You bought another PS2? You might as well have waited for a couple months and bought a PS3, as that will be region free.

You were right the first time, if Sony's business practices over the last few years are any indication (The PSP debacle, first-generation software's various defects that they deny for months on end).

I'd take your old PS2 but it's PAL. :\

And given the cost and the uncertainty, if you don't *need* to buy a PS3 right away, then you shouldn't. Wait.

Say what you will about Sony and their past failures/problems/debacles, you cannot deny they have released some pretty damn fine and exclusive games for their system. (well, for the PS2 at least)

Kingdom Hearts is a perfect example of this. You just don't see these types of Action/Adventure/RPG games of such extreme quality on the other consoles, or at least not nearly as many. KH1/2 are some of funnest games (not just RPG's), but games period. Yes ,it very much sucks that Australians and Europeans have to wait longer than North Americans, but In my opinion it is very much worth the wait.

As for spoilers: here's one..Kingdom Hearts 2 is even better than 1.
Did I just make your wait even more unbearable?

I want it noooooooow!!!

Gimme!!! GIMME!!!

But yes, I bought another PS2. I don't have any interest in PS3, but I want to continue to play my existing games on a system that is functional. Particularly for blue/purple discs as that's the primary problem with my old PS2 (and adjusting the laser works only SOME of the time...)

My previous PS2 has a few issues, but seems to work for most discs most of the time -- I shall be giving it to a PS2-less friend, who is happy to work around the issues / has no blue/purple PS2 games.

And I want the game now now now now noooooooooow. *whine* God dammit, I hate waiting when it has no logical point as far as I can tell.

I think it's been proven that you enjoy and appreciate the things the more you have to effort for them, or the more you have to wait for them.

Back on school I used to get a 10 for everything (A+?) because everything seemed very easy, but the 10s were not exciting or anything, but some teammates were like "YES! YES! I FINALLY GOT 8 ON MATH! YAY!"...

Well, I managed to successfully ignore Kingdom Hearts 2 and all threads and information and anything related to it up until now.

It's just the fact that now I know the release is this month that I'm starting to get all impatient. I was completely oblivious right up until recently.

I hate getting impatient. I thought I'd grown out of that.

I'm sorry, but that was the funniest thing I have heard all day.

Anyway, good to hear about another KH fan. I hope you enjoy KH2 as much as I and other did.

Fixed, based on the only interesting information about PS3 I've read.

You could have also just remembered how great Sony's first run of systems usually is.

(Not baiting, but a fact; Sony's hardware doesn't enjoy the greatest first run.)

A bit offtopic, but PS2 have the largest number of variations compared to other consoles of the same generation (dreamcast, Gamecube, X-box) becuse they fixed minor problems with each. I thought about buying a PS2 for the games but the rumoured reliability scares me away. :p

It's not fixed if there was never anything wrong with it. I'm not telling anyone to buy a PS3 - I'm not even buying one. It was just a suggestion for any Playstation gamer who would be interested in playing not only next generation titles, but also older ones, without the region barriers.

The price is a little high. I just thought that one who would buy a new Playstation to ensure that a game would work would have a little extra money to throw around. Really, if you think about it, the PS3 launch price is pretty good. High end computers cost about $1,000-$2,000 (Mine was around $1,400) and are already able to outperform the X360 and the Wii (as the Wii has slightly lower specifications than the X360). However, I don't believe any PCs outperform the PS3 yet; and if they do, they would barely come close and cost a fortune compared to the $499 PS3.

Tarale. I know the truth.

The truth about why they took so long in converting it over to PAL.

.... It's because they don't want to have all the awesome australian artists disappear for long periods of time when their art is needed before hand.

....



What? I did my research. ... or not.

Seriously though, good job on avoiding any spoilers. I know how annoying it can be to avoid spoilers.. Though.. I've only had to do it for at most a week or so for anything.. not including games that were out in japan and having Sion constantly shove pictures to me


And Zidane.. you made my wallet cry. Aw, there there, Wallet.. we can still have fun with cheaper things even though it doesn't have full power... Hey! Why don't we play with the Nintendo 64 we bought for 8 bucks! It's got that memory expansion and a N64 controller that doesn't have a terribly loose analog stick!

*Laugh*

Well good work on advoiding the spoilers. It can be a pain with popular games.
I would not quote this post however if you don't want to know any spoilers, comment tags are fun

I promise you this game doesn't waste your time. Although, it does feel kind of short. (30 hours )

Thank god they fixed that horrible camera.

Just so you know, I was like this when they released the game in December for Japan. I could not wait. I kept looking up videos for my entertainment.



I eventually got it. I was happy. I did not want the game to end.
