    Re: Release date changed to 11/19??

    ebgames.com, which I find most reliable, lists these dates:

    PS2: Nov. 12
    Xbox: Nov. 19
    GC: Dec. 17

      Why has the XBOX version been pushed back 1 week?

        No indication, but my guess is to tweak the Xbox Live servers to work ideally with the game. I don't think there's any way to tweak the actual game now, as a one-week delay indicates the game already is in production.

        I bet MS just wants to make sure this game works as well as possible on Xbox Live.

        That's my guess.

        Take care,

          So it could be MS's fault that we have to wait an extra week? ARGH!

              Check the new NHL2K3 press release on the main News page. It looks like PK's dates are correct. Next week for the PS2, the week after for Xbox, and sometime in December for the GC. It'll be here before we know it. Sweet!

                Add another name to the list of games I bought for PS2 instead of Xbox b/c of delays! I really wanted to buy it for Xbox, but I need a hockey fix like now, especially after renting NHL 2003 PS2! After playing EA's series since the genesis days, I am finally sick of the NHL hitz type gameplay EA refuses to lose. Time for a real hockey sim. I find myself passing up a lot of EA's titles to buy Sega's! NFL2k3, WSB, NHL2k3, NBA2k3! EA is losing it's grip on sports gamers for the first time in console history! Maybe they should spend less time on the Harry Potter and Sims games

                  Man, if you have any sort of desire to play online, wait the extra week and get the Xbox version. Playing against people with Xbox Live is going to be awesome, and I think it will be well worth waiting the extra week.

                    I do want to play online, but I am stuck with dial up for one more year, so PS2 is my only online access for now.

                      Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but, I don't think NHL2k3 in online for PS2.

                        No, you are right, but I am still stuck with dial-up for a year and MS Live doesn't support dial-up, so I might as well get it a week earlier!
