EA says sorry and refunds Australians News
Wii News by Robert Purchese
Electronic Arts has offered every Australian who bought Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 on Wii their money back.
The refund was accompanied by an open apology to the region for not being able to play the game competitively online.
"Medal of Honor Heroes 2 for Wii does not support online functionality in Australia," said EA in a statement. "We made an error in the documentation and marketing materials.
"We are very sorry to have caused confusion for our customers. We will provide a refund to anyone in Australia who wishes to return the game to EA because of the lack of online functionality."
No reason for excluding the service in the first place was given, so we have come up with one involving Toadfish and Libby Kennedy.
For those of you in other areas of the world who picked this up last Friday, you can play in 32-player online deathmatch, team deathmatch, and capture the flag matches.

It's a shame really. I suspect the reason was that EA didn't want to set up servers in Australia to offer online play and then cut out online play completely so that noone would complain about lag when connecting to US/EU servers.

mingster : how about a refund and get to keep the game as well?
I agree, would seem fair under the circumstances. Or maybe half a refund as half the game doesnt work? |
