I've just been thinking (don't worry, I was sitting down at the time), is it better we get things afer everyone else? Let me finish, before you all jump up and down and shout "What!? Why should we have to wait" etc etc.
The US gets the 'Cube and the XBox in another couple of months, correct? We get them in about 6 months. Which some people would think is a bad thing. But I don't think it is.
Right now, I don't know whether to buy a 'Cube or an XBox. They both appeal to me, they both have games I want to play. But, because they are released in the US first, thanks to the internet, I can get game reviews, news and info on which may be the best for me.
So come release day over here, I will know which one I want to get, and can buy the one that suits me best, without risking wasting £200+ (I know the 'Cube should be cheaper, but with a couple of games and stuff, it all adds up).
Also, we should have more launch titles as well. As all the games that are released in the first 6 months of the 'Cube and XBox lives, which will be a large number, as christmas is in there as well, should all be ready for release at launch over here.
So maybe it isn't all bad that we get stuff later then everyone else?
Or is it? What do you think?

Even if it is better that we have to wait for the games consoles longer than everyone else.....
We have to pay for it.... PS2 $299 in USA, £299 in UK.... and I dont think that there is 1 dollar to the pound! :-)
I agree with what ur saying though, that we can get reviews from other people about the consoles, and whether they are anygood or not.
A worrying thing is that we have to trust the americans! Not sure if I can do that! :-)

I agree with what you are saying. If things are released in the US or japan first then we can see a final version before we buy it over here and if any faults are found they can be fixed before we get them.
However I don't think we should have to wait so long. I knowe they have to convert to PAL and have different languages but surely that dosn't take to long. I would like to see the time reduced to around a month giving us enough time to see whats best for us and what games to get.

Anyone?
