Has Bungie set a release date for Halo 2 in Australia yet? Do we get it November 9th or do we have to wait till the 11th? Is the limited edition going to be available for preorder here?
From what I can remember of the press release they were still deciding about other countries other than America. My birthday is coming up and I was planning to preorder the limited edition and I wasn't sure if Bungie had said anything yet and I missed it or if they were still deciding.
If anyone knows something I don't then please fill me in.
Thanks.

I've ordered the LE from EBgames, they said it would be here around the 9th ie. maybe the 10th or 11th.

You will probably get it on the 9th I'm not sure though. As for pre-ording, try searching on google.

siege,

I have read that it will be available in Australia on the 9th.

Although - the UK is not getting it until the 11th (cheap), so it makes me wonder whether we will get it here in Auz on the 9th.

at any rate, I think its -blam!- that it comes out later in UK, and if it does here, as we have all been waiting as long as everyone else.

I still love bungie, and I am sure if it was up to them they would ship it to our very doors on the 9th..............but its probably microsofts empire-building stategies in play.

I'll try to dig up the link of where I saw a confirmed release date in Australia as the 9th.

where in australia are you from? I am from canberra.

Australia might get it one the 9th as the UKs shipping date is way too early on in the week and so retailers would sell it early, so if Aus get it delivered at a reasonable day they probably will sell it on the 9th. Not sure though.

I can't recall any official notices about an Australian release date (although there is the slim possibility that I missed it). I'm hoping we'll get it on the 9th of November. I remember there was a semi-official notice that NZ will get it on the 9th, and when do the Kiwis get anything before us? ;)

I wouldn't think that the UK delay will be a significant indicator of whether we'll also have to wait. Remember, the rest of Europe will still get it on the 9th, so I don't see why it should be any different down here.

I dont believe I have ever seen you on here as a moderator Reiginko! Are you an Aussie!?! that is way cool if you are dude. 8 D

anyways, I hope we get it then.

in SA EBgames here is saying nov. 9 but the main shop i get games from says 13th of sep lol. the LE will be here cause every shop i have been to says they are getting it. the reason it comes out on 11 nov. in UK is cause its law there or something that all games come out on thursdays, like movies here only come out here on thursdays.

PS, my main game store is berlin wall for any other south aussies out there!!!

Sweet...Thanks guys.
I will go and pre-order it from my local EBGames 'cos I don't know of anywhere close to me that allows pre-ordering. I remember hearing that NZ was getting it Nov 9 so with any luck we should be getting it then too.
MasterChief8...I am in Sydney. I didn't know there were many Aussies in here.
If I find anything out (which I doubt) I will let you guys know.
BTW...How much did it cost you guys to pre-order the LE?

The rest of Europe doesn't actually have a release date.
I don't think that anyone else will get Halo 2 before the UK because the UK is such a huge market for FPSes.
