Ah! Found it:

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/xbox_pal/

Please everyone.

Haha I ain't fussed as I ain't buying it anyway but damn, Midway really are shit, no more about it.

Maybe if it was possible for them to actually make a little profit per quarter then they could develop/publish properly like the half decent companies do. Instead they do a shit job with just about everything, therefore losing a lot of money per annum. Doesn't take a genius to know they've been failing for years, and still are.

Hopefully they stay away from PAL 100%, with everything they do.

ok ppl heres a petition to get an xbox pal version

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/xbox_pal/

cum on ppl i need as many sigs as possible

i live in boston mass.does that mean i have pal versions. if it is that cant be cuz i pre-ordered mka for the xbox.im not that worried cuz i have ps2. but i feel bat 4 the pal xbox owners out there

I just spoke to God, and he told me whoever signs this petition will get testicular cancer.

What? There never was an Xbox 360 version of MK:A and there won't be one.



The Premium Edition of MK:A isn't going to be available outside of North America. The same happened with MK:D's Kollector's/Premium Editions.



No. Canada, Japan (though MK:A isn't being released there), some South American countries and the USA all use the NTSC format. PAL is the format used in every other country.

As for the petition, I've already signed it though I don't think it'll do much good.

^ Japan has its own actually, NTSC-J.

The Americas (for the most part, such as the USA & Canada) use NTSC.

Europe, Australia, New Zealand etc are either PAL, or switching to PAL (From SECAM).

Man that sucks for most outside the us that are mk fans, And have an x-box.
Why is midway/microsoft screwing xbox owners? No collectors edition, No pal. I don't understand this is not just a mk game it is going to be one of the best selling games of 06, At least in the top 20.There should be no excuse to stiff the xbox owners.

Knew this was gonna happen so i pre-ordered the PS2 one, ive never played this generation of MK on PS before so im gonna suck with the controls at first lol....great.

We can't blame Midway for this. Microsoft shot itself in the foot with the release of the Xbox360 console. They put a high emphasis on releasing the new generation console before everyone else. They focused their efforts on the online gaming capability. They have no one to blame but themselves.

The release of this $400+ monstrosity was rushed and slapped together. There was no consideration for backwards capabilities (as we've seen with the playstation 2 console) and Micro$oft has all but negated the Xbox console (a console with much potential) with its new system.

Additionally with the emphasis on online play Microsoft failed to realize that not every Xbox consumer has 400+ dollars to drop on their 360 console system. So when they released their initial games which were intended mainly for online play, users found themselves with a limited group of gamers to game with.

The blame rest squarely on Micro$oft's shoulders for this pit fall. They failed to see anything beyond the dollar value of their customers. If they do not change their ways, I forsee the Xbox, Xbox 360, and future Xbox gaming consoles going the was of the Sega console systems.

XBOX360 = Good
PS3 = will be good
Wii = will be good.

Wonderful, now that we got that over and done with. It is bad for xbox owners in the PAL region, but it doesn't effect me as i own a PS2.

PAL reffers to the European game, and movie format. Just like games, and movies in the US, Canada, and Japan are released in the NTSC format, Europe is in what is called the PAL format.

What this announcement means is that there will not an Xbox verion of Mortal Kombat: Armagedon released in the Europe. This sucks big time for Europe gamers. But as for no special edtion Xbox version for America does anyone really care? Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 will be released for pretty much the difference you would pay between the normal version, and the Collector's Edtion, over Xbox Live around the same time as Armagedon is released, plus online play. I'm not sure if the PS2 version will not include that, probably just turn out to be the same version that was included in Midway Arcade Treasures 2 like what happened with Shoulin Monks, and MK2. True I would like some special edtion packaging, but I guess I can deal without it.

I'm probably more pissed about the Wii getting it's own version, and the 360 not. I would love to have MK:A optimized for the 360, with achievemnts.

You couldn't be more wrong, even if Microsoft neglected to consider BC with the orginal Xbox games. This rest squarely on the shoulders of Midway. Having BC with the 360 has nothing to do with this, as this game is supposed to be on the original Xbox, not the 360. There are still games coming out on the orginal Xbox, and the Xbox probably has a bigger install base than the 360 in Europe, and probably even japan (i could be wrong on that though) but I see it as having nothing to do with why an Xbox version isn't being released in Eurpoe. Why the hell is the Wii getting it's own version when this was supposed to be the last game for the current gen systems? It's not like the Wii can't play Gamecube games since thier very close in terms of hardware. If the development team is goin out of thier way to optimize the code for the Wii, and use it's controller, they could very easlily just port the Xbox version to the 360, optimize it, and add achievemnts. This is either Midway's descition, or the development teams decistion, and it's not a good one either way

I love how people think online petitions actually do something.

I'm disappointed if Midway won't make a PAL Xbox version. I possibly won't buy this good game if there won't be XB PAL version.

Ummm, that's not entirely accurate.The PS2 is the ONLY system getting the Kollectors Edition or Premium as some call it, same shit either way.IF you guys want it that bad, you can do what my friend from the PAL region did with Deception pre-order it online and believe me if you're THAT determined to get the KE for the PS2, you'll get it.Second of all, yes we know that the Xbox isn't getting a Kollectors Edition, that's why I said Xbox owners are getting fucked over, but the PAL region Xbox owners are getting royally fucked.I live in the states so this doesn't effect me but I do feel for the Xbox owners over there since I'm one over here, we are getting not KE which sucks but you guys I really feel sorry for.


BTW, the PS3 will not own for the people that said this, the wii is going to tear apart a lot.You guys watch.The 360 will be in there, but the PS3 so far is lacking in a lot of areas and the price is ridiculous, such a ripoff.I can get the other two consoles for that price.

PS/sony is too greedy, and that will hurt them later on.Look at the PSP vs. the DS.Exactly....

Also, again for some of these people blaming Midway lol it's NOT their fault.Just think for a second, if you're midway you DON'T WANT this.If Midway was so against it in making for the PAL region, then why even make any MK:A versions for europe at all anywhere?Exactly, Midway would make MORE money, so blame microsoft because it's them that doesn't want to make the product.That's more sales for midway oif they make it for the PAL region but apparently, Microsoft feels different.It's most likely because the Xbox is near it's time or something dumb like that.

Actually Midway is been successful over the years man, much more then not.Special Forces, MK4 and MK:D are the failures however the rest of the MK games over the years sold well, perhaps in Europe they don't sell well ,but people have a different taste then americans.Midway has done well in america and overall so not sure why you think they're doing bad, that's not true.If they were, MK:A wouldn't be being made.

BIG Disappointment & shock!
I'm still shoked...!

shite shite and more shite

and all these ps2 owners running down and laughing about xbox users
not getting it (pal wise) would be different if it was not coming out 4 ps2 wouldnt it!!!!!

fuck ps2 in my eyes is shit but that is not what this is about

im just gonna import it as i did mkd

feel bad for others tho

not good.....who ever's fault it is


grrrrrrrrr

It's not Microsofts fault that this PAL Xbox version will not be released in Europe/Australia etc. Also, it's not up to the MK Team to decide when, where and how the game will be released. Microsoft does not spend money to release a 3rd party game like MK. The do however, receive royalties for each game published by their 3rd party developers as stated described the 3rd party licensing agreement. All console makers share this policy. Midway however, stands to lose money in any region if the public within more than likely will not buy their product. Just think about this for a second; If you were a business anyalyst working for Midway, and your last game's sales were subpar in the Pal regions, would you consider releasing the game?
Even if there were 5000.00 players eager to buy the game, would you spend the money to have your game pressed and packaged, knowing that it will cost more to release it than it would if you made all 5000 sales? Probably not. You also have to consider the fact that the PS3 will be released soon after your game is released and interest will certainly be deferred from it. Microsoft has not abandoned the Xbox, they still manufacture it and suport it's accessories. They no longer focus on making 1st party titles, they leave it up to any company willing to make games for it.
MKF, I'm sure you will agree with me on the following:
For all the PS3 fans out there who will be broke this year after purchasing the system:
Don't be late on your mortgage payments! If you have a Contrywide loan, I don't want my friends at work to get calls from you stating that you had no idea that your mortgage payment was due for the month of November. $713.96 is a lot to pay for a new system and a game with an unproven piece of media playback coupled with it. I played the system at E3 and walked away unimpressed. PS3 fans should be advised that the system is not as godly as they think it is. The system looked exactly like the 360 in terms of visuals. REmeber, the CG movies shown in 2005 were not PS3 generated.
The new, playable versions of the games were way off the mark shown in 2005. I don't know how old most of the people are who state that the "PS3 will own the 360", but I'm 32 and I have more of a realistic sense when it comes to this subject. The PS3 will have its audience as will the 360. This time around, Microsoft has managed to garner much more respect from the gaming community and it will flurish. The PS3 will also flurish when the price drops and the companies will be much closer in terms of market share than last generation. Please cease with these uninformerd comments about the consoles.
Peace.

Sucks to be a kraut.

Ok, well said, well said.You're correct, the only thing that I just want to point out is that Microsoft is partially to blame besides Midway.I mean look at the whole backwards compatibility gig.They seem reluctant a bit with games like MK:D, MK:A it's taking petitions to get it done which is a little sad.

Don't get me wrong, Xbox is awesome most of the time with the online service, games etc.I'm just saying that Midway shouldn't get all of the blame for this.

But I agree with your point on the subpar sales in PAL, I guess if that's the case you and I would do the same thing, right?It's a business like you said, like sports the FANS can't always get what they want so you do raise a good point.

Only thing is, Midway and Microsoft will be hated by a lot of the PAL xbox owners after this move.

BTW, I know you believe the same thing as I do with the consoles 360 and the PS 3, I've seen your good posts about it in general at E3 saying how PS 3 was crap compared to the Wii and what that offered along with 360 games coming out.

I'm a nintendo guy, which is why I got an xbox cause I hate PS with a passion, and feel it's way overrated IMO.

BTW, malone will you get the wii version man of MK:A later on?I think it's going to rock personally.Later man, nice chatting with you.

Hi, this is my first post here :).

Anyway.


I don't understand alot of people here laughing at us (owners of xbox) and boasting about PS2. I can't believe some people are so childish. Please tell me again why your hate for that console should be thrown against us too?

We're only fans of videogames and hearing this news is a let down for sure. Even worse these people taking this opportunity to look down on xbox and the owners like it serves us right. That is just low imo.

Sometime this fanboyism goes way too far, do any of you actually work for sony or why this constant hate?

I hope this changes because this would be a terrible blow for all of us.

MKF, I will already own the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game. If the Wii version doesn't offer any significant diferences (i.e. a new mode or characters, better online service) , I don't really have a reason to get it for my Wii next year. Besides, it won't have 720p resolution like the Xbox version .

For all the PAL players, I am sorry that the Xbox version has been scrapped at this moment. There is always a method of playing import games and I highly reccomend seeking out these methods. I used to get converters for my import games when I had to purchase foreign games that were not released in the U.S. It wasn't that big of a deal for me. For example, X-men vs. Street Fighter was never released for the U.S Sega Saturn yet, there was an inferior PS 1 version available. I purchased a 4-in-1 RAM/Converter cartridge and played the game in all it's glory.

I would do the same for this game if I had to. I'm sure there are converters out there for Xbox. I even have a couple of PAL games for my Dreamcast that run fine. Just look and you'll see.

Peace

Ohh, ok Malone I see.

Just one thing though that everyone should be aware of, graphics are nice but it's not everything.Perfect example of this is the PSP vs. DS.DS is owning the PSP and it doesn't have orgasmic like graphics, just wanted to make that point on why the wii shouldn't be out for graphic reasons.

I'll get a 360 once the price drops a bit, a Wii I'm definitely getting however for many, many reasons.

Also, for what it's worth Malone the DS since I have one plays great online, smooth, fast and I've played lag free so far on it swear to god.I've played people from japan who kicked my ass in Mario Kart lol, awesome I must say online.I think the wii will take the same route, although I'm going to buy the wire adapter with the ethernet cause I don't like the whole wi-fi thing with an actual console, I want to make sure I have a good connection no matter what system I play online.

But I admit that the xbox graphics are much better then the PS 2 like you said, the GC graphics are also better believe it or not then PS 2.RE4 pretty muched covered that.It's a shame GC didn't make more 3rd party games.I think the wii will get a lot more from what I've seen and read about it.

Man. I don't even have an Xbox, but I'm sorry to hear about this. PAL has to wait longer for the games anyway, and now this? Man.
