Title: Import vs Waiting


Roy Campbell - December 1, 2007 09:16 PM (GMT)
Well, the big question is should I import this or wait until it is released here in the UK?

Now, there are obviously many pros to importing that I need not go over, but I will discuss the cons. The main one for me is whether or not the EU version of the game will contain any new content, we saw it with MGO: PO and we may see it with this, I recall SSTG saying in another thread he regreted importing PO becuase he missed out all the added content of the EU version.

However, there is the matter of if and when PO+ will come to the UK. I havn't been following PO+ so I dont even know if there will be an EU version and if so when? Will I have to wait 6 months? I only hope it is soon.

Yeah, I regretted buying MPO, but it's different this time around. There most probably won't be any special additions, because it's an expansion pack and expanding on an expansion pack is overkill and unfair on the rest of the world who miss out on European goodness. So yeah, import is the way to go.

Well knowing what usually happens, you will probably be given extra content on the UK version, since it's late. I'm not sure if that's worth it though.

Can you play on the US servers from the UK? If not, then don't bother because online is what the game is about.

If you can, then go for it. It's a great game on and offline.

Yeah, you can. It just lags a tad more than if you were to play on the EU servers in Europe.

It depends on how long your prepared to wait. We're almost definitely gonna get it cos Konami <3 Money.

I get a feeling that it will be realsed at March there might be a small amount of new content like perhaps a demo of a game and new camo soilders at the expense of loseing the American ones.

I have ordered mine off ebay still waiting(after i ordered it i found some companys selling it in the uk on ebay so i now have to wait from now to 2 weeks :angry: )
But i would say that importing is good but just check what county it is in first or you will still wait

well i went down to my local game station 2day and asked them if they had a release date and the guy told me that he had a list of games that were confirmed for 08 and MPO+ wasnt even on there. so i think wer in for long wait...
