Meanwhile, a blog post on Ubisoft's official Far Cry 2 site indicates the release date of all three versions of the game (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) as October 23rd. According to Ubisoft, the 10/23 date listed in the blog post is for the game's European release.

Ubisoft also revealed the contents of the European version of Far Cry 2's Collector's Edition today via a post on the game's official forum. According to the Ubisoft rep we spoke with, the North American release will also see a Collector's Edition, though we couldn't confirm whether it would be identical in content to what was revealed today.
