Move along, nothing to see here: PS3 Stranglehold (not) on hold (Update) photo

[UPDATE: 1UP actually, you know, checked with Midway on this, and it turns out that the European PR rep forgot to put the PS3 date on the release. Stranglehold for PS3 is still on track for a September 17th release.]

PS3 Fanboy caught word from Dutch gaming site PS3Only that the PS3 version of Midway's Stranglehold is "definitely out this year" but it has "no confirmed street date as yet."

The Xbox 360 and PC versions of this game are due out on August 27th, but PS3 Fanboy notes that the PS3 listing was absent from the press release.

With all of the recently announced delays, it's almost like it is being pounded into our heads to expect delays, and we can't blame PS3 owners for getting a bit antsy.

not antsy for this game, but I still take the stand that if the devs NEED more time, than they should take it, this helps them get to know the PS3 better. Dev's will get more familiar and make their games much better.

You need to check into this because I think it just the European version they are talking about.

Yeah, I was coming here to say that too. Someone over at GAF said they contacted Midway support and got the following:

"I can confirm that Stranglehold is shipping on 8/27 for X360 and PC and 9/17 for PS3 here in the U.S. If you have any questions, please let me know."

Figures, just pre-ordered it. Luckily Amazon doesn't charge until it ships.

Lighten up AgentMOO. I realize this is no news site-Yet that post was a post conveying NEWS. Or information. The correction is appreciated. Nobody said it was intentional. Mine was no death threat nor harsh criticism just a blog as you aptly put.
