Why do Australians and Europeans get games later then Americans:( We had to wait months n months for Paper Mario, we have to wait a hole extra week for PGR4 and the orange box, 1 extra day for halo3 and COD4. Why? I mean yeah a day or two but why weeks and months? It it cause they need to make enough copys of the game? if so why pick America to get it first? And yeah i know recently we got Fifa 08 before Americans:) but thats all i think..so why?
If I'm not mistaken you get PAL versions of games, which aren't the priority for some games.
Some games that have the biggest fanbase and selling potential in Europe (Fifa), will release 1st there. Yes, you got Fifa before the Americans, the only problem is that not many americans did so, since soccer is still a growing sport.
Thats like asking, why do we have different time zones? Why this and why that? Dammit man, stop cryin' already and wait your turn! All you have is time so...anyone got a snicker cause he's not going anywhere for a while!
?i still dont get it? Just cause we are PAL and at the other end of the world why do we have tobe the suckerswho get it last? And who doesnt like soccer..i love it FORZA ITALIA:D

common man 1 WHOLE EXTRA WEEK?? thats like...7 DAYS!!! I got halo3 24 hours later than the americans? OMG!! what a crazy world we live in
Probably because Eur. and NA games display in different modes, PAL and NTSC respectively. It mat have to do with ratings as well. European ESRB counterparts could be just as useless and slow.:|
yeah its good questions but none of us can answear them man I also would like to know why Sony keeps coming out with such stupid plans like getting lots of difrent consoles out but anwyas this is XBOX but still I say you go to their websites and ask them theyll answear for sure
the reason is because these games are developed and made mostly by american companies or investors who obviously would release to the people of their own country first as would most people same thing happens with films if its made in england we get it before them (hot fuzz) if they make it they get it before us (every american film in existance)
Maby, Just maby if you think of it this way you could be getting it at the same time. hmnmmmm lets see. This really only applies to sequal games like Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4. If you Got Halo 2 and Call of Duty 3 a little later than the people did in America and then you got Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 a little later, than aren't you actually waiting the same amount of time for the sequal of the specific game just like everyone else? Now this doesn't apply to gamesthat aren't sequals you are getting those later than everyone else and who knows why. OR, Maby they don't want to releas a game everywhere in the world at the same time cause then there would be too much money to count. LOL WHO KNOWs. If any of this makes since to you, WOW
i remembered back in the day that we used 2 get games like 6 months after the rest of the world got theirs so I'm not bothered waiting a couple of weeks

how right you are. a week is not that long. and the most important games (like halo) are only released short after US release. not even a week.

I don't mind waiting a few weeks extra for a game to be released down under. What does annoy me a little bit is we sometimes don't get the same options available to us as other regions; i.e a collector's edition released only in america or something. While I don't go out there and buy every CE game I see, it's nice to have a choice between the two and think "well it may be a bit delayed, but at least we have the same options to choose from"
There is no such thing as PAL and NTSC on 360. The games are in HD in the same resolution.
You can play a NTSC game just fine on a PAL box if you want if its region free.
The reason games are later in Europe is cause Europe is a less important market than the US.

LOL yeah sure ... less important seesh! There are a few reasons - Some are that in our EU nation we have many languages and all the text both in game and the manual need translating into a large number of langs to ship to the EU. There are plenty of other reasons but mostly it's that tbh I have grown up with it ... we got the SNES I beleive nearly a whole year after it's release ... dry your eyes mate and Radiozo get a grip no one is more or less important in this world :)
