My dream low expectations are is that it's the same as RC2 with updated kits, progression in career mode, and that players defend the width of the field better.

If it has that, I'll be playing for years I'm sure.

If there's no progression in career mode I'll be gutted. I'm hoping it's a given considering there's now a Be A Pro mode in which you progress, so hopefully all other players progress and regress.

I'm hoping the same thing. Would be nice if there was a user instant replay as well, but I'm not holding my breath.

Kits are from 2015 seasons, but yeah, updated from RC2 anyways.

Any tips for how/where to buy in the States?

Might be available digitally for Xbox, but not for PS4. Otherwise it's secondhand eBay or find an overseas retailer who will ship here.

I'll most certainly grab it from the UK PSN with a different account, and use PSN cards purchased from Amazon UK to buy it.

True, I forgot you could do that. Altho aren't games more expensive in the UK?

The exchange rate will definitely get you a bit, but it's not terrible.

1 US dollar currently equals .7 British pound, so you'll end up paying more than you normally would.

Not sure what this means regarding US release, but this is from the official game Facebook page.

Oh snap. If it's on the US PSN that Friday I'll be so happy.

Yeah, I don't want to get my hopes up, but it would definitely simplify things.

Will the new Super Rugby teams be included I wonder?

I don't know for certain, but I would guess that the answer is almost assuredly "no". All the screenshots have teams wearing 2015 uniforms, so my guess is that they haven't updated the teams or anything. I do not know if that would've required additional licensing or not either.

RC3 Facebook page is saying physical copies will be available by the US Amazon I don't see that happening because the game doesn't have an American distributer, but I would love to be wrong.

If they're saying that it at least makes me confident of a US release on PSN. Although at this point I fear if it's not on there when I check, I'll just immediately pay more for the UK version on PSN.

I really, really, really hope that enough improvements were made to make this wait worth it. We all know it's far more of a 2.5 than a 3, but they had a good base to work from in terms of rugby games.

I hope that they allows us to customize leagues better than in RC2, since the new SuperRugby teams don't appear to be included. In RC2, you couldn't even create a competition that had 3 divisions other than in a pool, if you did it that way, you would never play the other teams.

So these just came up when I searched my amazon app. It doesn't give the option to buy or pre-order, but just the fact that it's there is a positive.

A digtial NA release would be fantastic.
