Countries other than the U.S. usually get shorted or scrood with most localised commercial software, movies, etc. because so much less effort is put into content for the poor sods whose primary language is other than English. Sometimes, there's bonus material to try to make up for this. I don't feel particularly envious of others who CAN get the game a few hours earlier than we do if they pre-order, stand in line waiting for the game to come out, then pick it up and rush home to play it before we can. That's probably because I never got anything just as it released anyway. I'll be working hard to avoid all possible exposure to spoilers between release and when I can finally get my mitts on the game, probably several weeks after release. I'm about as excited about Halo 2 as I've been excited about any video game after what I've heard and seen, but that's not enough to have a heart attack waiting. Most of us here should have lives away from our coveted Xboxes, too.
