well, i think it takes time to covert from PAL to NTSC, and one would think that releases are sort of governed by national holidays (eg: buying periods) but I think that companies are lazy bums who dont care about australia and europe

Do you mean why does one game have many different release dates? Because if I were to take that literally the conclusion would be pretty self explanatory lol...

But yeah, it's annoying, can never be sure when a title is going to be released.

Oh ok... because in the big scope of things, we don't create a great deal of revenue for these companies when compared to other countries. Therefore they can take their time converting it to PAL.

Sad but true

if every game came out really close to eachother, that would give us much time to make money to be able to buy the games

first of all theres the obvious pal and ntsc differences. and then yes we australian's don't provide a big enough market for the game makers to worry about us. and then theres our very very strict ratings office. heaps of games get delayed because they refuse to rate them for whatever reason and things get changed before a rating is given.

but the main point i think is that they just don't give a **** about us. they make more money releasing things in US and japan then they do in australia. our population isn't big enough for them to spend resources.
