I just don't understand Sega. They release all these crappy Sonic games yet they can't release Yakuza 3. I'd be more than happy if they skip 1 Sonic release just to have this subbed for import or release outside Japan.

Unless the Asian version has english, or it makes its was to western part of the world, as for the mandatory install it doesn't really matter because most PS3 owners have already or will upgrade their PS3's HDD.

and about the install, we are all glad every sony playstation 3 has a mandatory hard drive to play titles with mandatory hdd installation.



this game may not be as successful as gta4 but it will sure earn lots if given the proper promotion.

yakuza 2 was a great game but is released under the gamer radar so it didnt do well. hope sega learns how to know which of their games are great and needs support rather than forcefully pushing sonic into over casualness.



***im using a 20gb ps3 japanese model upgraded to 250gb and dual shock 3, usb keyboard, mouse and logitech driving force pro on a wuxga hdmi computer lcd***



and the sonic game demo on ps3 is not making me buy it.

THat's not even an issue. Any real PS3 owner has upgraded long ago! Honestly. I got my 250gb drive for under $100 and that was over a year ago. Space isn't an issue and shouldn't be when drives are that inexpensive.
