Because that is covered in other threads. And it's on the disk because it was rewarded early to people who pre-ordered.

And it's exactly this attitude that forces publishers to charge more for games and devise this "mercenary shit". Games are not cheap to make, and pirates do to the games industry what the a-holes that drive around without car insurance do to your car insurance premium.

Unlike code, art assets are hard to conditionally add to a build on a build switch (#define), so I wouldn't be surprised if the actual disk contents were the same for all regions, with just the code modified via localisation switches to access different assets. I wonder if all the European language files are on every region's disks also?

There was a post about a German guy buying the UK version, and found his BoP was completely german until he switched his PS3 language to english.

Personnally I bought my game through Ebay in the UK to pay 20% less thanks to their currency.

And I had the surprised to have the game In French (Which is terrible due to the false English/ Soviet accent of the actors lol)

So I guess European games do have all european languages on the disk

With all due respect, you're missing my point

I already know that all EU languages are on the EU version's disk. What I meant was, I wonder if all EU languages are on a US version's disk. You probably won't be able to test it though, because a US build of the code will disregard the bit in an EU build that reads the system language and loads the appropriate files accordingly.

I don't think I made that any clearer lol. Oh well...

Suffice to say, I'm not surprised the DLC content is on every disk despite it only being an unlock in the EU.

That's a good way to put it.
However, the pirating is 99% on pc games, which are cheap and console players pay the premium price (in general). It's more like people without car insurance cause the stable individuals with homeowners insurance to pay more.

£7.99 on UK PS3? for 6 missions that players could've happily thrown together with great joy & satisfaction, if the trademark mission editor was present? and for 1 and a half airplanes? (being that only 1 plane having a cockpit & even that one's in the 'game' already as a big glaring mistake). And to fly said planes on said missions with the same broken 'game'?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I'll have the laugh for you shall I?

PERSPECTIVE: £7.49 online buys you IL-2 1946, the complete PC IL-2 experience!!!!!

Here must surely endeth this thread as I ask again ........ "Don't you feel ripped off as a console Gamer"?

Dude, seriously. Go send an email to the publishers or whatnot. This forum is visited by the developers. They have practically nothing to do with the price. They try to help us best they can, took into account our feedback for the update, don't go bitching to them about something they can't control. It's disgusting.
