Resident Evil 6 released days ahead of schedule in Australia
9/30/12 7:30pm
Remember when the Resident Evil 6 street date was broken in Poland last month? Well, the game has been released early again but this time it seems completely legit, as EB Games outlets in Australia (GameStop’s international sister store) have been selling the game since Thursday.
Capcom has yet to release any kind of statement about this so there’s no telling if EB was given permission or if this was some kind of mix up, although Capcom’s silence could be an indicator that it hasn’t been approved.
Regardless, if you’re Australian and you’ve been waiting patiently for Resident Evil 6 to arrive, call up your local EB Games to see if you can pick up copy.
Zombie killers here in North America will just have to wait till Tuesday. I know it may seem unfair but with all of the bullshit Australian gamers have had to put up with over the years regarding M rated games, they kinda deserve this treat.

As much as I hate it when American Movies get's released LATE compared to the UK or Japan(SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT!?) Australia does deserve this early release more then we do.

Indeed it has, I've had the game since Friday. Played through Leon's campaign on Professional and I'm currently going through with Chris. I won't say too much as to not spoil for anyone who is interested, but its not all the gloom and doom everyone is making it out to be (there is CERTAINLY room for improvement, don't get me wrong).

Curses! I didn't find this out til yesterday! I picked it up today but I could have been playing for at least three days now... *sob* Now that I've ranted off to play! Woohoo! Note all the price tag here in Aus is $80 despite our dollar being higher so we're still getting fairly screwed...
