Phew. That's a great news.

Anyway back to GT5 ;)

Pozzle4811d ago

That's...a rather strange move.

Karlnag34811d ago

uhhh why? Nobody really cares about driving in circles here.

Pozzle4811d ago

Uh, obvious reasons? The UK is a fairly big games market so it's strange that it is the only country being excluded from playing it. It's just an odd choice on the publisher's behalf.

Skizelli4811d ago (Edited 4811d ago )

We still get European football and rugby games here, even though nobody here really cares about those. Still, why rule it out? Just because you or I don't care for those doesn't mean other people won't. Believe it or not, there's fans of American football in the UK. Should they not get Madden games because you don't like it?

Karlnag34811d ago

Nascar really isn't too popular here though... seems like their decision makes perfect sense to me.

bumnut4811d ago

British people prefer F1 to Nascar, I don't know anyone who likes Nascar (in the UK)

DeadlyFire4810d ago

Activision will bring it to UK when its a good game. If it ever becomes a good game. Has to test it and see if it can sell in its most popular region first. I am doubtful Nascar 2011 will be rated very high. As they announced the game and said its gonna be done by Febuary 2011. No user input was taken into the building of this game. I am thinking its gonna flop. Nascar 2012 will be 100 times better.

We don't only do left hand turns here anyways...

Focker4204811d ago

Worst 'sport' ever. Who wants to watch cars drive in a circle for 5 hours??

Too_many_games4811d ago

i would, rather watch 500 left turns then 5 mins of basketball or hockey

Focker4204811d ago

I would rather not watch all 3 of those things.

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael78d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay77d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael78d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

S2Killinit77d ago

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM77d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj78d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor78d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj78d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman78d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese77d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX78d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek77d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin77d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
