Re: March 6th in Europe???

Try ebay.co.uk. There is an Australian seller on there that has it for preorder.
Not available until 12th March though.

As I understand, the game will not be released in Europe. You have to import it in from a country that supports PAL, the link that jr86 provided seems best.

Re: March 6th in Europe???

MLB 2K11 was completely region free, since I'm playing an NTSC version on a PAL Xbox since October. I bought this copy late, September I think, and my shop here in Italy found me this NTSC copy that works just fine. Even the NBA 2K series is completely region free since 2K9, so hopefully MLB 2K12 will follow suit. I know it's a risk to buy a NTSC version, but I don't see why they should turn back to the old lock system. Maybe you'd better wait for an official european release. I'll be in NY for a week from the 17th of March, so, if an european copy will not be available at that date, I'll buy an NTSC copy there. It also costs way less than the rest of the world...

Re: March 6th in Europe???

The US version is not regionfree this year and I wouldn't hold my breath that there will be an PAL release. Especially since producing an extra PAL version would cost 2K Sports more than producing the regionfree version.

And that one Austrailian Ebay store is the only one even mentioning a PAL version. Nowhere else is a POAL version mentioned.

I can't understand why 2K Sports didn't release a regionfree version again this year. Maybe they just don't like us.

Maybe next year whoever gets the MLB rights can produce a regionfree/PAL version.

Did you get to know when does it come out here in Europe?

Re: March 6th in Europe???

I didn't even find the demo version on the xbox yet

Re: March 6th in Europe???

2K Sports only released MLB 2K12 for North American and Japanese consoles / region codes.
The only chance to play it in Europe is either you buy one of these consoles or if 2K Sports decides to put MLB 2K12 on XBox Live Marketplace Games on Demand like MLB 2K11.
And even then it's questionable if they'll add it to the European marklet or just to the NA / Japanese market.

To get the demo you either need to download them via an external source and manually add it to your hard disk (or USB-stick drive).
Or you just create a second account on your European XBox360 but instead of your normal home you select it to be an US account. Therefore you have access to the US marketplace and can download the demo. You then can even play it with your normal account.

Not sure if any of these 2 options is completely legal but that's the only you can get the demo. I got it via option 2. But I've done option 1 with other demos as well.

Re: March 6th in Europe???

I just got a reply back from 2k games regarding a UK/Europe release and this was their response:
Hi,
Thank you for your e-mail regarding MLB2k12. I can advise that this game is currently on sale in the UK and you should be able to purchase this at all good video game stores.
Kind regards

...lol a very odd response considering I can't find it anywhere in the UK in shops and online.

Re: March 6th in Europe???

Also i preordered with the australian supplier but got an email saying that when they received the stock they tested the game and it did not work and it was region locked.

Re: March 6th in Europe???

it's definitely region locked as VG+ confirmed this on Twitter.
