Looks like Susbsistence has been delayed in Europe-

Gameplay are saying May, weirdly enough. Weird because It's neither the original March 30th or the new June 16th.
I can only hope the delay is for European bonuses. Getting Document for free was lovely, last time.

That seriously sucks. But there's different release dates everywhere! Which one is correct?! This is so annoying.

Well, they were all pretty set on a single date, but now they've all changed, so I think it's been pushed back (even if the new date isn't too solid, yet).

The worst that could happen is that you guys get more versions of the LE subsistance.
Be thankfull, us Mexican and Canadian gamers apparently are gona get a nice swift kick to the teeth.

We're rewarded for getting it later than everywhere else, you get fuck all and get it early. Big Kojima fans would rather live in Europe, but impatient casual fans envy the Americans. Go figure.

Or you end up buying all and are fucked even worse....
Those darned Japanese editions end up having the best packaging.
Contrast that to American and european releases and you end up with the truth...

Europeans get clear boxes with alternate art on one side. Japan were the only ones to get Integral. Americans get store visits from Kojima. There's a lot of advantages to living in each territory, but with import support at an all time high with the internet and all, you can get whatever version you want quite easly.

That's what I meant . =)
Unfortunately there is no "best version". It obviously has to do with tons of factors.. and it would be impossibe to bring the same version to all territories, since statistically each want different things and pay different prices.

Kojima and Shinkawa usually do a campaign of store visits across Japan whenever they release a new title.

The Japanese boxes also seem to be the only ones with reversible box art (but correct me if I'm wrong).

European games get the reversable boxart, too. MGS2 had an image of Snake and Raiden with images of all the other major characters on the bottom. Substance had Document Boxart. MGS3 had Snake's face drawn in a camo style. MGA had simular pakaging to the US release.
