I know this has probably been asked before, but has anyone got any idea if/when this game is going to be released here in the UK? I ordered a copy online, but I've been told its now "unavailable". Any idea what's going on?

Re: UK release
My local Game seems to think that it isn't going to be published in the UK. Habitually, Acclaim announce a March release for the PAL version, then delay it until June/July. That seems to have happened again this year, but instead of seeing it sneak into the shops around the All-Star Break, Acclaim appear to have given up on it entirely.
A huge shame - ASB was the only console baseball game that was regularly released in the UK; I had purchased every version since 2001. I'm very disappointed that the company hasn't seen fit to just re-code the software and at least make it available by mail-order. How much can it cost to re-release a game with PAL coding?

Re: UK release
im in the same boat as you guys and im always complaining about certain games not being released in the uk but i never thought asb would be one of them, i mean ive been buying this game since its n64 days. bottom line is that this game isnt going to be released this year, but at least we're guarunteed a bb game next year because sega have decided to sign a long term contract with a publisher meaning that all their games will be released from now on in europe and the uk.Comment
