Telltale: Jurassic Park won't come to European Xbox 360s this year

Jurassic Park: The Game will not arrive on European Xbox 360s in 2011, Telltale Games announced.

Jurassic Park will launch for PSN, Mac and PC on Nov. 15 in North America and, Telltale hopes, Europe.

"Europe is a big deal to us so we're working hard to have the game out on PSN in Europe on the same day as here in North America," a Telltale team member wrote in a forum post. "We'll be able to confirm that soon hopefully.

"As for Xbox 360, we are not a European publisher i.e., we don't have a European office. That means that we need a publishing partner over there to get the game out to you. The good news is that we'll be able to make an announcement on that soon. So, while we won't be able to get the 360 version to you before the end of the year, we'll do everything that we can to get it to you as soon as possible."

To potentially ease the pain, Telltale is offering $10 off pre-orders of the Jurassic Park Deluxe Edition, making it $39.99, although European orders may not arrive in time for the holidays, Telltale warned. This seems like a lot of effort to explain itself from Telltale, when it could have simply said, "Nuh-uh-uh -- you didn't say the magic word."
