Well, that's the assumption...actually...usually you guys get it first then us. Release date of Super Paper Mario is mixed up here...some places are saying in the next couple of months, others are saying December this year. I just got mine from America instead of waiting.

You can always checkout ebgames.com.au (brand new website). This will tell you what our release dates are, except paper mario doesn't have a release date yet.

Australia is behind the rest of the world by a few months. We're the last to get most releases. Usually it starts with Japan, then NTSC (USA and associated), Europe and finally Australia.

I reckon we should get our things at the same time as Europe considering we are both PAL afterall. And I won't accept our geographical location as an excuse as to why it takes so long.

The PAL system is much better then NTSC. The format isn't the problem. Sadly in video games much like everything else Australia is taken for granted.

actually now that I think about it the answer is in the name:
PAL - Practically Always Last.

There's our answer why it takes so long, case closed.

PAL wasn't always the best format. It's has only been this latest generation of consoles where it has been the best (especially for Plasmas/LCD).

NTSC use to be the format to have (gaming wise), because the framerates and all that are smoother and faster. I'm guess you knew this. I guess this is just for the others who didn't know.
