does this effect australia, since we too are a PAL country? if so i'm frelling pissed!


theres no real reason why we should have to wait, that whole 'retailers might not be able to resist the temptation' thing is bull, thats what fines are for, to ensure people dont sell things early...


grrrrrrrr

Sorry everyone in Europe, you got it tough...(I don't live in UK i live in the East Tennessee, USA so this may sway my judgement .) It just doesn't sound all that bad, if you can wait 3 and a half years then surely you can wait 2 more days. I can almost garentee(i couldn't spell this word if my life depended on it) you that it will be safe to come to this site even if the game is out. NOBODY will leave their xboxs. IMO (the only one that matters).

However i feel sorry for asia and austrailia they don't know when their going to get it. Plus austrailia is a cool place to visit, if you get the chance to go there do!

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.
That isn't the reason. I'm guessing it's localisation issues.
The rest of Europe will get it on the 10th of November as the 11th is a public holiday in many countries.
Where did you get THAT from? Halo 2 won't be out in the UK after it's out in the rest of Europe. In fact, if you read the quote (which I forgot to do earlier), it implies that the rest of Europe will see it after the UK.


goweb- read my post and follow the links at the bottom of the post to see where I got my information, press releases from Microsoft UK and from HBO who had been in contact with Bungie.

Its not the 2 day wait, its knowing that other people will have it 2 days before us

O well, if bungie puts out any kind of cool thing on Nov. 9 I bet almost no one in America will know about it (too busy playing the game). Like some other person said "The glass is always half full!"

What about Ireland, It's not like we're part of europe. We may have the presidency of the EU but "come on". OMG a ray of hope. Since ireland is slightly closer to the us then Britain we get some of sky ones shows a week before they do. Does that mean we get halo on nov 9th? Sure we might as well, we saved your ass in.......eh......Oh i just thought, Martin O' donnell is irish. Or is he just claiming he's irish like those ppl that are like "My Great great granduncle's half brother was Irish, Aren't I MAD altogether" Wait a sec, i think i'm moving off topic here..........Oh well i suppose you can use those 2 days America. Cos youZ are..........BUngie has edited out the last sentence of this post as it is too harsh for an american to hear and could cause a future war.

Might happen. When you buy games what language options do you get in them?

If you get English and Japanese then yes I think you can expect a Nov 9th release. However, if you get English and all the major European languages (just like the PAL Uk version) Then I'm guessing you'll have to wait until Nov 9th as well.

If you guys were to get it on November 9th and my plan stated earlier doesn't work, then I may take a trip down from NI :D
