Im wondering, who else here is from New Zealand, like me?
im wondering this because New Zealand gets Halo 2 first in the world (cos we are right next to the international date line, if u dont know that, go back to school)
so who is lucky to live in New Zealand? or jealous that New Zealanders get it first? (ie. USA, u get it last)
<i got this info from HBO, last bit of news on the main page>

OMG! u get it like a few hours ahead of me. Gosh I should start crying. Dude I dont care. Washington gets it last due to time zone so it dont really matter to me. Plus I'm not one of those freaks who will camp outside to get it. I will probably just wait until after school to get it. Remember people its just a game.

I don't know, I live in Seattle, not too far from Bungie, I don't think that another country will get the game before we do. Yes I'm aware of the International Date Line and what it means, but I don't buy your logic, sorry.

I don't care if it comes out 2 hours before in New Zealand, but if someone says it comes out early in Japan... well...

sheez ppls, u have no idea how the world rotates and how we work out time zones. i will explain it 2 u all
1. get an atlas or a globe of the world
2. put ur finger on the international date line
3. move ur finger to the left, imagine a vertical line
4. the order in which the 'line' touches countrys is the order in which they get HAlo2
the order approximately of major countries/continents is:
New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Europe, America(USA, Canada, etc.)
u all got it now????

what the heck, as long as they don't cancel finishing up Halo2, we should all be happy that we're going to get it, no matter the time

Jee, thanks Dad, I was a total idiot before your lesson, thanks a milion.
I know how it works.
My point was that I thought New Zealand would be on the same release date as Europe.
Then I realized I don't care.
So, have fun with the game whenever you get it.

another this that is great about New Zealand with relation to halo 2 is:
we still have heaps of copies of Halo 2, it hasnt sold out yet, they must have brought over too many.
i of course refer to pre-orders as being 'sold', u know wot i mean

Bungie said it comes two days later in Europe. That may mess up the finger on the globe theory. Games don't just come out the same date everywhere, and it has nothing to do with the timezone. The order depends on what countries are scheduled to recieve it on a certain date. If there is more than one country on that date then you can start pointing to timezones. US -Nov.9, Europe -Nov.11 . US is not last.

They also haven't sent any copies out yet. They can't have too many.

you don't have the option of not buying the logic. Its a fact they get it like around 12 hours before us. depending where in the U.S. you live
