No online date is the same. Every single Video Game News Organization including Magazines, websites and TV programs ect... all have different release date down for Snake Eater. Amazon says April, EB thinks it will be October of this year. And Gamestop says it will be December of 2004. Though, the trailer says 2004. But 2003 is not impossible, yet it did say "On your table in 2004" and this game will not be rushed.

The chances of it coming out this year are very slim, since MGS: Twin Snakes will be coming out in November on GameCude.
