2 things

The game WILL NOT feature any type of referee- WTF?? Why not??

You should be able to do wrestler vs. wrestler. IE Kurt Angle vs. Kurt Angle - Ok,wierd...

No online?

Erm...wth?

Midway has teased online tournaments but it hasn't been confirmed.
And a ref will not be present in which I have no clue why.
Midway announced there will be no Six Sides of Steel.

DAMN IT MIDWAY

at least it pasnt THQ XD

Release Dates are kinda sketchy, they say June 23rd then September, then November, people cannot make up their mind in Midway.
Though I found out TNA Impact will be a yearly deal just like SVR Series.

I went to the gamestop website...

QUOTE: "Pre-order Ships 9/2/2008"

I'm bummed at the release date, I wish they released it 6/23/08 like they first had...

..... 2nd of september? NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Not buying it now, screw it. they are not getting my $120 when a 1st of may release was announced.

Well Travy please buy this game it is way better then any SVR 08... Why because I tested the demo and its off the hook. Midway told me that people had made up release dates and they are having it on the 2nd of September to make it even more better.

i couldnt care less if its better, if they give a release date i want it on that day. this is almost as bs as rockband coming out in australia.

its not here until september 2008.

im not going to buy either of these games. we already get ripped off here, i bet midway will release this game as $100-$120 here just because they can. Im not going to buy this, im waiting forever for it and its going to cost me double what you pay when our dollar is only about a few cents off yours.

IF the game is region free i might just end up importing it from america.... but will cost me alot for shipping aswell.

give me some reasons on why i should spend $100+ on this when im waiting forever when the release date was 1st of may.

Well you could always order it from U.S Stores on the net and receive it.

i cant, your consoles are NTSC. Ours are PAL.

Stupid region locks.

Now I'm confused with NTSC and PAL Consoles? Are they like different? in what way?

Is IGN doing a WOTD for TNA iMPACT!? If so, I'll do FC sigs again.

Corby if they do that'd be great, I first dibs AJ Styles.

Okay, but my Shark Boy sig comes first! lol

do sig for me corbster

NTSC and PAL Consoles
PAL:britten and a fue uther countrys

NTSC:all uther counterys bar the brittish and a small number

but the ps3 has no regen lock . so you could by one from america and it would work hear

but do not try this with ps2 games . if you have virtual memory card saves for NTSC it will not work on the Pal vershions of the games .

so unles you have a ps3 game it is still NTSC and PAL

::link:: to a picture that showes you whair all NTSC/PAL/SECAM counterys
