...find it just slightly annoying that America gets games like TOCA 2 and Hitman Contracts a good week before Europe?
These are European games for fook sake, published by European companies but they still get the sodding things before us. How does that even work?It was the same with Project Gotham 2 and many others, it's total garbage that doesn't make any logical sense.
I can understand the US getting Jap and American games first, but we're getting shafted on release dates by even our own home grown companies. Just to top it off we'll also end up paying twice the price that the Americans do, this BS has gotta stop.

I'm almost certain we got PGR2 before the US..might be wrong, but I had it a week early anyway, good old comet!
America got Perfect Dark about a month before us, and that was made just 100 miles from where I live.
They get their title out in US first because that's where the most money is.

Oh joy. Harry Potter.
We got Harry Potter before the Yankey Doodles.
:P
:P
it looks great and American reviews have been good, 12 players on Live per race, roll on next Friday.
Can't wait for TOCA :D anyone else picking this up?
Not really, 1 week is nothing. Stuff like Ninja Gaiden getting released 6 weeks before the UK is a bit piecing but 1 week for Hitman Contracts is nothing realy.
Plus, the yanks will have more practise on the online portions and will own by the time you get it.
Dirty. Europe gets shafted all the time
