This may be a silly question, but why are there still gaps between the NTSC and PAL releases, because all of the games are region free aren't they?

The game cases and manuals have to be localized and manufactured somewhere in Europe even though the discs are virtually the same in most cases. R&C includes all languages in all regions, but...

To be honest, it is possible to release a single game at the same time everywhere, but I guess it's cheaper doing it with these small delays.

And welcome \m/!

I believe they stated they had yet to localize it, even though that should have been done before the game was released in the US. I wonder if they took some extra time to slightly tweak the framerate, the controls and whatnot, although I doubt it.

9th November: Lair
9th November: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of DestructionSending Lair out the same day as Ratchet is suicide. That game needs all the help it can get and this ain't helping.

Couldn't they just do all of the PAL stuff a little earlier so that they can aim for a worldwide release? Anyway, it's only Lair, so I'm not too bothered about it :-D

Thanks for the welcome btw!

Too true. It probably wouldn't have done that great if it was released on another date anyway, but alongside Ratchet, that's just plain stupid.

If they did that, then they would've had plenty of time to make it good.
