Another Delay Yet Again

Hi Driver fans. We’ve been fine-tuning the last details for the release of Driver San Francisco and we’ve had to tweak the release schedule: in North America, Driver San Francisco will now be available on Sept. the 6th on all platforms.

We know a few more days might seem long when you’re really eager to cruise the streets of San Francisco, so stay tuned because we also have cool news regarding the demo incoming!
This was on the Driver facebook page. The game has been delayed an entire week for North America. At least they are supposedly releasing a demo. I hope it was the one at E3 cause I've been wanting to get my hands on that.

Still getting released on the 30th on Steam, w00t!
They're probably modeling the VW Routan.

What I don't get though is why they only changed the release date in North America. Did they mess up with the english maybe but why would that take a week to fix?

Oh god, don't tell me that they transelate it to dutch D:
Well shipping isn't a reason anyway, unless they are stationed in Europe.

The Driver community developer explained on Twitter that it's for marketing reasons.

The delay was for marketing reasons (A better exposure of the game in the US).

Looks like the European release date maybe is an day earlier (thus 30-8-'11), and knowing the stores here, i maybe can gett an hold on it 2 days before official release.

I had a weird dream last night that they released a 4-disc demo of the game for $49.99 in July. Very weird...
