Fans eagerly awaiting for SOCOM: Confrontation's already-delayed-as-it-is release in Europe next month may get burned even more. Now, reports are coming in that UK retailer GAME is sending out emails about a delay.

The emails from GAME were sent to customers who have already pre-ordered the SOCOM even as far back in 2008. And now, GAME's letting them know that the shipping date has been moved to March.

Adding credence to GAME's updated shipping date, Play UK online product page for SOCOM is indeed showing a post-February release. In their site, it's now listed with a more specific March 27 release. Yeouch.

Understandably, European gamers are getting antsy and frustrated. With the game already being released in North America back in September of last year, Europe once more gets things last. There's even talk of dropping SOCOM orders altogether and maybe getting Killzone 2 instead. Uh-oh... Looks like SCE and Slant Six are in a jam.

Sicne we haven't gotten any official word on the final final final release date for SOCOM in Europe, we'll have to notch the retailer-revealed delay up as rumor for now.

so true...

guess I got to buy the headset without the game

Lol knew this would happen. thats y i got my uncle to by it in florida.

o this is for EU i was like wtf when i saw this in my news thing cuz i was just playin it like 20 mins ago...

its such a shame what happened to this game (comin from someone that bought socom 1 2 3 and fireteam bravo all on day 1)... they did an awesome job bringing it to the ps3 but they brought way too much like the same exact socom lag...  but as far as "preserving the classic" nah i cant say the UI and controls suit that line too well sprint doesnt belong in socom... no matter how new it gets...

I wanna order it from the US, but it costs so mutch to import it :( 

FFS! AGAIN! Ah screw it I'll just get a copy from america.

The way I see it, as bad as this game is, fate is protecting Europe.

It's ok, it's not good.

 I wanted it before then and they never had it so he got it for me for christmas.

of course Slant Six are in a jam, with this POS now slipping to March (& likely to April so it hits the new fiscal year), is anyone else other than me expecting them to pull a Free Radical & go tits up by Decermber
