Curious about when the game Catherine is due out in Australia? I have hinted a few times that EB Games has had it in their system for some unknown release date in 2011, however it seems like their official website has a bit more information in terms of that. Currently EB Games Australia has Catherine down for an October 2011 release for both Playstation 3 and XBox360 consoles. This is not a mistaken listing as well from what I can tell, as EB Games have uploaded the first trailer for the series on their official Youtube Page.
There is one downside through…. the actual price of the game. For what seems to be the standard edition without any extras – it will cost you $98 Australian Dollars…. a rather hefty sum. Anyway, I shall keep everyone updated if there is anything in terms of a Love is Over Collectors Edition for Australia, however get ready to get to the bar and pick your Catherine!
You can find the listings for both versions HERE.
For my review of the game, you can find it HERE.
I asked what the pre order price was like 3 weeks ago and they said $98 so that price is not an exagaration. Its cheaper to import the Love is Over limited edition than buy a standard version. Why does Australia do this to itself?
I suppose in the end the Australian publishers would need to make a profit…. but yes, I bought my copy well under $80 after getting some of the pricier shipping. Namco Bandai Partners were able to do it with their releases of Nippon Ichi Software America’s games however…Ar Tonelico Qoga and Hyperdimension Neptunia were going for something like $60 with a free artbook and soundtrack…
