Reserve Team
Fraid to say this guys (even though it contradicts the press release) but the date of the release has indeed been put back a week, as you probably know at least three of the big boys have changed their date today (play, game, and gameplay) and they wouldnt do this unless they were pretty certain,(sales reasons). To finalise this heres my conversation with a gameplay rep from earlier:
“Please wait a moment. You are being connected to an available operator.

You are now chatting with 'CT'
CT: Hi, how can I help ?
javuvu: hi, pro evo for xbox is now being stated as being released on the 26th? in other places they have it advertised as the 19th? can u shed some light on this, whoes right?
CT: Konami sent a release email saying its definitely released on 26th and not 19th
CT: so thats why we put the date to 26th
javuvu: but a official press release says its out on the 19th?
CT: Konami sent the email yesterday
CT: saying 26th
javuvu: ok thanks.
CT: we'll keep it there until they tell us different
CT: regardless, everyone gets the stock the same time
CT: so it makes no difference
javuvu: ok, cheers
CT: Cheers
CT: Cya”
So konami yesterday sent an email to the suppliers to let them know of date change, even though a press release stated otherwise, bugger.
update:
A guy on evo-web also has confirmed this change after ringing the Konami London head office.
Not sure why its happened, may be due to sales tactics (i.e. want halo to be the big new game out for a bit?) or maybe even to iron out some bugs.
Still only 2 and a bit weeks away I guess, seems forever though, sniff.
