Informed now that NHL 2008 (asian version NTSC-J) will NOT be released for the Xbox 360. This totally screws anyone who happens to live in Asia and wants to play hockey. They could have just made it region free, and made us order it in ourselves, which I gladly would have done, but instead they screw us over. I've never been so pissed at a company before.

I bet losing those four sales are really hurting them. Isn't there a new Yu-gi-oh! you could pick up instead?

I hate EA sports. Way to release games for multiple platforms and make the PC versions the crappiest of them all.

What benefit do they get from having that title region coded? Stupid.

Exactly my point. If they didn't want to make&ship an Asian version, fine that's within their rights but to not even give people like me (and there are quite a few people pissed about this) a chance to buy it and ship it over at our expense is just plain stupid and cruel. I hate them.

The PS3 has a free demo of this game online. They just released like 10 more free demos in the past few weeks. Tiger Woods 08 was interesting, but not my cup of tea.

How many people in Asia really care about playing hockey games anyway?

Fair enough, and if they chose to not publish it over here, that's fine. However they simply could've made it region free and I would've happily spent MY money to purchase it and have it shipped over at MY expense. I hate their fracking guts for that.
