Polish gaming Web site Polygamia tells us that the Army of Two street date was broken over there, but that's not the real news item. Our focus here is on a bit of history that Electronic Arts seems to have missed.
When street dates are broken and games sneak out early, less fortunate gamers tend to pay extra attention at those "look at me, I got it early" pictures that the more fortunate share. In reading the fine print on the back of this foreign version of Army of Two, Polygamia noticed something odd in the fine print:
You must be 13+ to register online in Hungary & Czechoslovakia.
Electronic Arts, as of 1992, Czechoslovakia no longer exists! You must have not heard that the Czechs and Slovaks have parted ways.
To be fair, I guess this isn't common American knowledge. We're still going to make fun of you, though. Thanks for making the mistake in English!
[Thanks, Piotr]

Being one of the idiots randomly interviewed on the streets for a comedy segment on Jay Leno is an excuse. Being on an idiotic prime-time game show is an excuse. Being a candidate for Ms. America, apparently, is an excuse.
This is just sad.
By the way, when is this game coming out in the Soviet Union?
Oh EA, you wacky company with your geography
Sorry for being ignorant, that's just the asian inside of me ;_;
But seriously, I remember my mom telling me about this when i was like 12. did EA's mom not tell thme when they were 12? boggling. seriously, in ten years, and they going to remember that there's now a country called montenegro? let alone kosovo?
So, in which of the three parts would you be expecting this to be released?
I can only imagine how many people on Dtoid - particularly my fellow Americans - are saying, "WTF?!!" right now. Hee hee. :)
oh man... just when you start thinking "hey maybe there's more to ea than evilness, with some interesting titles coming out soon" they just smack you in the face with some good ol' ea antics... welcome back ea!
konami confuses spanish with italian...
what a stupid mistake to make... guess the EA-localisation-team needs to update their worldmap a bit :p
