Which region to get?

[TheDutchDad]

So, every year, this seems to come up - Which region is the best version to get?

Which do you prefer? Is there really an advantage of going one region over the other?

Re: Which region to get?

This year I think it is worth getting the U.S. version especially because of MLO. I would be afraid of lag playing MLO against people from Europe.

Re: Which region to get?

Maybe so - But will there be OF's worth getting the US version? Last year I got the Uk version, and there was an abundance of OF's to choose from. I'm afraid that I will be limiting myself pretty bad if I get the US version.

That is a fair point but there were some decent ones for the US version but maybe not as good as the UK ones.

Re: Which region to get?

Personally, I am leaning towards the US version this year. Lately, I have been getting the UK PC version, but with OML, I am going to take the plunge and get the US version.

PES is looking great this year. Sadly, we are all going to have to wait till Oct. 19th. But I guess it's better then the usual November.

Btw, go Broncos!!!

Re: Which region to get?

UK version is released on Oct 8 (although it probably won't make it here too early due to shipping across the Atlantic).

I'll probably go with the UK version myself.

Re: Which region to get?

I think I will go with my gut and get the UK version once again. Was really happy with the OF's last year. Also, probably get it a little earlier than the 19th street date here.

Does anyone have any good recommendations on where to order from in the UK?

Re: Which region to get?

I always get the UK version. I don't play online that much, and probably won't until they come out with a real online ML mode, not the crap they put in this year. I'd rather get it a bit earlier and have access to the best option files.

I've ordered PES from shopto.net, sendit.com and play.com all at some point. I believe my preorder this year is with sendit.com.

Is the 360 region coded like the PS3?

I got it last year from zavvi.com within a week of the UK release date.

360 isn't region free like PS3, so importing isn't an option

Re: Which region to get?

For those that order the EU version, how much does standard overseas shipping run?

My current plan is to hold off on PES for a while (we'll see how that goes) and make a decision after I see how the option files shape up. I assume it will take some time for a decent file to surface anyways, so that could make the wait somewhat more tolerable. I'm looking at PES as mainly an offline game, so I'm not too concerned with any online issues have the Euro version might present.

Speaking of which, is it true NA and Euro users can't play each other? Seems odd as I've run across plenty of Brits when playing FIFA random OTP...

I've got to get the 360 version now because my friend is coming back and will need his 360. Sucks but at least I don't have to wait to order it now overseas.

Someone might have to correct me on this, but I believe that 360 option files aren't region coded, so it is possible to use a UK file on your US 360.

Re: Which region to get?

If we import the EU version to the US, what about the patches though ? Will we have to log on to a EU account to dl them ? Or can we dl them at all ?
