Exactly, Please Help! On the XBox Forums They say that Bungie have "confirmed" that the UK release is now the 11th, can any one prove this?

Yeah its been pushed back to the 11th of November. The reason being for a november 9th release the game would have to be shipped to retailers the previous week, making it extremely tempting for retailers to sell the game early over the weekend.

The rest of Europe will get it on the 10th of November as the 11th is a public holiday in many countries.

If you ask me it sucks. No way I'll be going on the internet from about the 2nd of November incase I read any spoilers about the story. I can see why they are doing it, but why not let the UK have it on the same day as the rest of Europe? Making the UK waint an additional day makes no sense to me. I'm sure it does make sense to Microsoft though. That is until they realise the extra cost to marketing the game for three different release dates, especially as it has already been announced a the 9th for the US and Europe.

I know its only 2 days but that doesn't stop me from being in a huff about it.; ) Well I just have to hope that my local retailers will break the release date like they usually do with all other games and then maybe I'll get it on the 9th after all, maybe earlier. : )

Heres some linkage to the official statements:

It's been delayed for the UK so that they can add speech software that converts English to British.

Riiiiiight. Do you realise English is British? Hence the "English" part sounding similar to the country in Britain called England
