Shaun White Skateboarding PS3 Recalled
Ubisoft and Shaun White teamed up for this upcoming skateboarding game set to hit retail this week, and while other platforms will get their discs on time, PS3 owners will just have to wait.
The Fist Full of Potions blog obtained a memo saying that Ubisoft issued a recall of the PS3 version due to "quality issues." Other versions have not been affected.
Sony has issued a response regarding the delay: "There was a manufacturing issue with a misprinted disc at Sony Computer Entertainment America and the wrong version of the Shaun White Skateboarding PlayStation 3 game was shipped to retailers. We're working with Ubisoft to correct the issue. New PS3 copies of the game will be shipped to North American retailers by Thursday, Oct. 28 and it will be available by that weekend."
How do you ship millions of copies of a game and later realize it's not the right version? Someone's losing their job.
