Ahh. It's upsetting that i can't find the European release date. The last update that i've seen is for an August of this past month as a release. It was released today in the states and man is it a great game other than the language barrier. The language never changes and you can't figure out what Gorda's saying but there are sub titles for everyone else. Well, i'm sorry that i can't be of a bigger help to you in your search for Ico.
