Sydney goes crazy for new Rugby League game
Australia gets in a lather for upcoming game, preorder record shattered.
Anticipation for the soon to be released videogame Rugby League from Sidhe Interactive and Tru Blu Games has reached new heights with the announcement of record breaking preorder levels for the title.
EB Games Eastgarden’s store in Sydney, Australia, have broken the worldwide single store preorder record for that international retail chain with over 1,060 units of the Rugby League game being preordered at that location alone. The record was formerly held by a US based EB store for preorders of GTA: Vice City.
With several days before the release of Rugby League remaining, the Sydney store is expected to set a formidable record for future games to topple.
"We are very excited about the response we have had from consumers and the high presales reported by retailers", said Mario Wynands, Managing Director of Sidhe Interactive. "Combined with the positive reviews the game has received, we are looking forward to a great launch for the title".
Rugby League (known as Stacey Jones Rugby League in NZ and SuperLeague Rugby League in Europe) will be available from December 12, 2003 for the Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox and PC platforms.
