We’ve just gotten word from QV Software that they will be distributing Atlus’ Catherine in Australia.
The game is now available for pre-order at both GAME and EB, but QV Software have no official word on the release date as of yet. We were told by QV that they’re looking at an October release, but can’t provide a specific date.
It will be available on both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:15 PMThe rate things are going it’ll be out here before my import copy arrives. F*** you, ozgameshop – why do you always disappoint me?

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:31 PMfrom memory it’s a two week wait after it has shipped from them. not a whole lot you can do tbh.
could try purchasing from cdwow.com.au or zavvi.com though

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:36 PMIs it ozgameshop or the Royal Post?
I’ve found that they always dispatch my orders within a day or two and the longest I have had to wait is 11 business days – any variance is probably the fault of snail mail…

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 4:04 PMI realize it’s probably the mail rather than ozgameshop, but for some reason the mail always seems to take longer when coming from them. Generally in the past when I’ve ordered stuff from UK retailers it’s been 7-10 days (that’s days, not working days). Last time I ordered from ozgameshop it was 2 and a half weeks, and so far I’m up to 12 days on this one and counting.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 4:28 PMi haven’t used ozgameshop before, but i usually import from playasia. even on the standard/cheapest delivery, it gets here in less than a working week.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:22 PMFantastic news! I was all set to pick up a copy on 360 at Dungeon Crawl then all of a sudden it was taken off their website and upon enquiring it wasn’t available as an import because it’s one of the odd 5% of 360 games that has a region lock. That really irked me at the time, but I can live with getting a copy in October. Got more than enough on my gaming plate at the moment anyway.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 9:54 PMActually the 360 version of Catherine is region locked. The PS3 one is region free. You can pick up the PS3 Love is over limited edition at Dungeon crawl. If you have a 360, you’ll have to wait.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:25 PMI have already finished the game, pretty challenging in some stages, but great fun in 2P mode.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:47 PMProbably only M to be honest. There’s not really any nudity at all, and although it deals with sex, there’s not anything shown.
People have no idea about this game lol. I blame the marketing, but it isn’t a slutty dating sim. It’s an awesome puzzle adventure game, with a killer plot.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:47 PMNo way.
It’ll pick up an MA15+, easy.
Probably something along the lines of Language, Violence, Adult Themes, Sexual References.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 5:36 PMIts got about as much sex as an episode of Futurama.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:45 PMIs there any news whether we’d be getting the collector’s edition?
Jake
Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:45 PMAlready imported.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 3:59 PMQV Software? Haha. Better off importing. Most games QV distribute are basically impossible to find in stores.
SC
Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 4:03 PMRRP $98? I’ll import a copy, thanks.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 4:06 PMHooray!!
…but yeah, gonna import.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 4:33 PMOnly just got word? EB have had it on their site for the last two and half weeks or so.
AussieSniper
Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6:14 PMThis is most excellent news for the 20 people nationwide who will buy it. Strangely enough, I think they are all on this website at this very moment.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6:15 PMGot it from playasia a while ago(end last week/start of previous?), about the same price for the collectors there as the standard would be here.
Walt
Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 8:44 PMThis really only affects 360 owners. PS3 owners should have imported a copy by now.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 11:14 PMFinished it on the weekend.
It’s an awesome, very unique game. I actually really really like the block puzzle mechanic (though losing five minutes because of tiny control mistakes can be a colossal pain in the arse). The ending also sucks a bit.

Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 8:55 AMYAY!!!

Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 11:30 PMAlready imported mine. Love that PS3.
Half the price and earlier? Thanks PlayAsia!

Friday, August 19, 2011 at 4:42 PMPlayed it for 20 hours last weekend and got two of the endings :) Going to try and get the other endings this weekend. Hopefully it will get enough sales that Atlus will start releasing games here.
