On my mind: Jak 3

(tags game, PlayStation 2, foreign)

I've been wanted Jak 3 just to complete the fun I had with Jak 2. But it's not here at all. I finally checked out Play Asia to see availablity and there's a version I could play on my Japanese PS2, the Korean version. Ha. For only 6000 yen. Ha. Ha. Yeah right.

Then I checked Mobygames, and they list a Japan release date of 2004/11/26. WTF? I practically live at the game shops but I have never seen it. Amazon.co.jp doesn't confirm it either. And you can't get anymore official than the PlayStation.co.jp catalog, and they don't list it either. What a lie. What hooey. What a bunch of krock. Self-correcting Internet, I can hardly believe it.

I need to figure out if on that Korean version they have any English voices. I really liked it. How can I search it in Korean? Stupid Play-Asia, I can't type that picture you use for the game name.

Update: Thanks to my l33t URL reading skills, I got the official Korean page for Jak 3. I can't read it but at least I know the name is: "ěž­ 3" Feeding it through the translator still doesn't tell me if there is any English text or voice. Disappointing. Do I have to buy a US Playstation 2?
