Rumor: PS3 launch list leaked, MGS4 by July 17? - Image 1Xeonoumus over at the official U.S. PlayStation Forums managed to acquire a list which details the release dates of several PS3 titles up to November this year.

What makes this all the more intriguing is that it lists dates for titles we know the fans would kill (not literally, of course) to get their hands on.

For example, LittleBigPlanet is scheduled for April 7,  Fallout 3 for September 9, and Killzone 2 for April 7. Metal Gear Solid 4 appears to be set for June 17.

According to Xeonoumus, the list was originally picked up from Best Buy, and was further confirmed by a local EB Games retailer. The reader does state that the dates may be subject to delay. That aside, we're unable to confirm if this list is official. We do note, however, that at least one date is spot-on: the Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition pack's February 5 launch date was previously confirmed by Capcom via press release.

Those interested in reading the complete list will want to head to the U.S. PlayStation Forums via the source link. We've also managed to pick up a more organized list in case you're looking for an easier read, painstakingly compiled by The Sixth Axis site. Happy viewing!

» Oh really?

Cause on the OFFICIAL site, through which that forum is accessed, Haze is listed as a January 15th..



Im sure the rest of that list is 100% accurate though. They always are.

» GTA IV on April 1st?

Sounds fishy to me, for quite obvious reasons.

» WTF!?!?!?!?!

Why do people get all worked up about release dates? Or believe they found some super secret information?



Companies don't publicly comunicate release dates for the off chance the game is delayed. Then eveyone gets all butt hurt over it and blames the dev.



If Best Buy wasn't supposed to allow the info to get to the public then it wouldn't be in the system yet for some dumb shmuck best buy employee to find.



Here's an alternative format:

Jan 8: NFL Tour

Jan 14: Burnout Paradise

Feb 5: Turok

Feb 5: Devil May Cry 4

Feb 12: Conflict: Denied Ops

Feb 18: FIFA Street 3

Feb 19: The Club

Feb 19: Dynasty Warriors 6

Feb 19: History Channel: Battle for Pacific

Feb 26: Condemned 2

Feb 26: Lost

Feb 26: Turning Point

Mar 3: Karaoke Rev: American Idol

Mar 3: Lost Planet

Mar 3: Major League Baseball

Mar 4: Army of Two

Mar 4: Destroy All Humans 3

» JUMP IT UP!!!!

Hey everyone look at this:

http://pspupdates.qj.net/PSP-Hello-World-program-via-HomeBot-v0-1/pg/49/aid/107900

Its the PSP homebot article that people jumped up almost to the top of anything because QJ is so f*ckin stupid for posting such an idiotic article.



As far as I'm concerned this article is even more idiotic, therefore everyone should jump it up to be the highest jumped PS3 article!!



There is absolutely no way this list can be correct. Come on, Killzone and LBP and April 7??? SOunds like QJ doesn't even read things over before they write up a new article



JUMP THIS UP!
