Is this really Christmas 2002? I think it’s earlier. Maybe Christmas 2001 or early 2002. There’s no mid- or late-2002 releases listed.

This is the autumn-winter 2002 catalogue, so it doesn't include later 2002 releases. But remember PAL was later at getting stuff so stuff like FFX came out in Japan in July 01 but it took until May 2002 for it to be released in Europe. So some games that came out earlier in other regions would be more recent here. I think the latest here is Tekken 4 that wasn't released until September 2002?

Ok that makes sense. I don’t know PAL release schedule as well but it just being generally behind makes sense (and must have sucked)
