How about, since Halo 2 is most probably going to come out later internationally, that bungie delay xbox live until after a few days after the rest of the world gets it. This way, the americans don't get that much of a head start.

I know this sounds pretty stupid, but... well. i can't think of a way to end that setence. but i know it leads somewhere good. i think.

Well, I've seen on the commercials for Xbox Live that it advertises how you can play with people in other countries, but each piece of paper/document that I see pertaining to Xbox Live says that it is currently only available in the US and Canada.

Worst. Idea. Ever.

Why should us Americans be punished when Halo 2 is American made, and it isn't our fault when it ships?

Well, you could expand it back and say that without Britain, America wouldn't be America and Halo 2 wouldn't have been made. So Halo 2's a British game! :-D

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

Then lets go back a little further without the Roman Empire Britain would not be who they are, so Halo is a Roman game.:P

I do feel sorry for those who won't get it on the 9th, but even if Bungie wanted to I don't think they could delay XBL. The help lines would get like a million calls complaining that Halo 2 doesn't work.

Anyway...it doesn't make any sense to wait number one, and number two...xbox live is world wide, I play with kids in Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, and Wolfenstein that are from Europe...particularly the UK. By the way let's stop bashing other nations and cultures, yeah America made Halo 2 but other countries have contribited to video games and the Xbox so lets stop being childish...that's how wars get started.

Well i think we should have a massive halo 2 match when it is released, UK vs America (friendly), oh and i think its a world wide release.

I read that Xbox wants to promote Halo 2 like a blockbuster movie. Does that mean a premiere of sorts with Bungie.

That is totally false for many reasons. Firstly I have played with people from Britain, Mexico and many other nations, not that I remember everyone from other countries that I played with. Secondly on the xbox dashboard there is always a message there about a new game or whatever. It also says when more countries have access to XBL. I rememebr a message saying XBL is available in Mexico and I think China or Hong Kong or something.
