Metal Slug 3 getting UK release / Is it region free ? (Xbox)

[VR46]

Looked on few sites (play, Game etc) and no details

Also can anyone who has USA/JPN version let me know what you can do via Live, is it just a scorebord ?

Thanks

Edit: rumours it's region free, can anyone confirm USA version will work on PAL machine.

Some guy on the cube europe forums has said that the usa version isn't region locked so you can play it on your pal machine. I want the game desperatly, you wanna buy it first and tell me if hes telling the truth

[VR46]

let me do some investigating .... ta for info by the way.

I would also like to know this

Isn?t there an SNK-Playmore UK website you can E-mail and ask?

I E-mailed Namco UK and asked if Mr. Driller 2 was coming out on the GBA over here. I said I liked the DC one and was just wondering. The reply I got was ?dunno? but then sure enough 5 months later I herd it was coming out?. I think it was all down to me.

No-one knows for sure, just need someone with the game and both USA & PAL Xboxes and we'll be in the know, trying to find someone with those 3 items is hard work, I've asked over at rllmuk also by the way.

I'm desperate to know too.

If the US version works on a PAL machine, it'll be ordered from VG+ in minutes.

I NEED to know !! :P

[Jakeway]

Huff... Anyone know yet?.... bump

[gingerj]

innit we need to know i'm suprised theres no first play thread either yet.

[VR46]

no-one seems to know same story over at rllmuk, PM'd couple of people who have it for sale but guess they don't have a PAL machine (or they just don't like me)
Anyone friendly with a UK based games importer who may test it for us ?

Anyone found out yet? I fancy this as well.

Someone must spill the beans on MS3 soon .......

[gingerj]

I think someone is gonna have to be brave and buy it for the team points to strider one of those rich kid game reviewers to buy it first

[VR46]

I PM'd Gareth who wrote the review here and

"I have a Pal machine but a friend is borrowing the game. IF, and when I get it back I will try it for you,

Gareth"

leave some feedback for me then

Saw your high score thread and thought ****, I want to enter that lol

[Gareth C]

Yes, sorry I can't be of much more help right now, I will try and grab it back off him ASAP and test it for you.

In the meantime the review is up and a small First Play thread for MS5 exists
