Subject: Unfair to Europe

"Before you insult someone, try walking a mile in their shoes. This way, when you insult them, you are a mile away and have their shoes."

This really rages me. Why does America get it 3 weeks before us (europe), and why do Americans only have to pay 60 dollars for collectors edition and Europe has to pay 70 euros (135 dollars) for normal edition?

The game is released on the same day (22nd September) worldwide. I agre about the being ripped off thing though. Us lot in the UK have a similar problem ($5 more than it is in the US, I admit you have it worse).

  • 06.13.2009 4:21 AM PDT

we get it 3 weeks later? impossible!
america has to pay 100 dollars for the LE and we (europeans) have to pay 60 euros for the regular one. thats what I know about it.

the thing that angers me that there're no shops (yet?) who gives us the Sgt. Johnson code!!!!!

  • 06.13.2009 4:21 AM PDT

I want her...

3 weeks? ....i call shenanigans on that

The UK gets higher wages.

While I'm pretty sure it's being released on the same day worldwide, it would make sense that the U.S. would get the game first seeing as though Bungie Studios is an American Company (with me so far?). If you do remember correctly, America got Halo Wars after the UK and Australia because Ensemble Studios is/was an Australian Company. Now heres a little rant of mine about the Collectors Edition. While I have in respect always bought every Halo collector edition (and Halo 3's legendary edition), I refuse to buy the Collectors Edition seeing as though the only thing I get is a controller and not an orgasm of extras like we usually get. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the stuff we are getting with ODST, and it's all for a good price if you really think of all the things that are going to be included in that one game case. And while the controller would be an extra $10.00 off of a regular controller, I am not really in any need of another controller, If you are buying the Collectors Edition good for you, just dont complain about the pricetag (The UK gets higher wages). I have nothing to say about the Johnson code other then, sucks to be you.

1. its a world wide release on the 22nd, you will only get it a few hours after america (time zones)
2. the price will work out about the same because of exchange rates and average wage in your country.
3. there will be a slight price rise because of shipping costs

if i went by your logic i would be one very unhappy person because i have to pay the *crazy* price of $100 AUS for the normal copy of ODST ad about $140 (dont know with this) for the special

Wait, what the hell does that mean?

Currently most of the people living in the UK are earning money below inflation.

People keep telling me to get a life... I am getting an education, I have a lovely girlfriend and alot of friends... I thought this was having a life? Gues I was wrong...

I find it unfair, I didnt get my warthog for Halo Wars either, I didnt care really, just as I dont care about not getting Johnson, but for those who do want him, I think its a little unfair, the rules should apply everywhere, not just in the US.

It will be £45 for UK so it is kinda balanced out.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

Well. Thats Bull-blam!-.

I'm in the UK, I'm mainly annoyed about the Sgt Johnson thing, so far, there is no wear in the UK that will have the code, not even Amazon.co.uk! But Amazon.com has it! WTH?

1. Proof?
2. I don't care if you need a Skull to activate it or not, you need the code in the first place and so far the UK and everywhere else is being left out in the cold!

-Albert Einstein

well if you live in france, and you want the game to be in french, wait three more weeks so they can do all the translations well.

Suck it up, get over it. I promise the world will not end in that three weeks time. And think of it this way, the longer you wait, the better it will be when you actually play it.

if i went by your logic i would be one very unhappy person because i have to pay the *crazy* price of $100 AUS for the normal copy of ODST ad about $140 (dont know with this) for the special


1) Actually, the UK is ahead of the US in time. it would be the 22nd in the UK before America. PST is 8 hours behind BST

Because Europe accepted the retarded Euro system whilst we Brits retained our heritage and use the pound sterling.

That's why.
