PS3 Map-pack dated for USA and Europe

[MrCynical]

It's been confirmed by IW that the PS3 map-pack, with the additional 4 maps created since release of CoD4 will be released in the US on April 24, followed by a European release May 1.

It seems the time difference is because the Maps took slightly longer to get through SCEE certification than SCEA.

The PC Release is probably going to be around the same sort of time.

Update
It has quietly been revealed that the European release date has been pushed back a further 3 days to May 4. This means European PS3 owners will get their hands on the Newest maps a significant amount of time after their North American counterparts. Oh dear IW....

Update
Against information given out by both Sony and Infinity Ward, the European Map pack went ahead and released today, April 24th, alongside PSN's weekly update. They seem to have sorted out whatever was wrong over at SCEE.

The map-pack is going at £6.99 / €EUR 9.99. A little steep some might say, but it's here nevertheless.

We can assume that the U.S. will receive their respective map pack ready for download when the next North American PSN update comes through.

Have they said how much they plan to scam out of...I mean, charge people for these maps? I know the 360 had them ridiculously overpriced, but I haven't heard word on how much the PS and PC maps will cost.

Yeah, I know, I'm suffering from broken record syndrome on these map threads.

[MrCynical]

Not that I've heard of, but I imagine it'll be pretty much the same as the 360, if it's any more or less one community is bound to be unhappy.

I certainly won't be buying them. Here's hoping they make them free sometime in the future.

That's why I'm glad I play on PC. Assuming they ever get released on here, there's always a more *ahem*, "cost effective" way of obtaining such things.

Its well... I shall not say the word. Anyways the ''cost effctive'' way is the thing why PC is so much better and well.. I'll b looking forward to these new maps, I especially like Care... Chinatown.

[MrCynical]

Ahwell. PC's fun and all, but I like playing on my PS3, more of a challenge.

And yes, yes I just did.

Edit - Also, update ^

[MrCynical]

Another update ^

This one's good though  :thumbsup:

[Mrk252]

What about the PC?

[Vancha]

What about the PC?

No news on that I'd assume. Like I've said somewhere else, they'd have such a problem trying to make sure the maps weren't able to be pirated, that I'm not sure they'll bother for the PC at all.

i got mine the earliest... but my 360 broke again
