..... Have you noticed that we are always at the bottom of the gaming world! We get all the consoles/games last, its not as if we don’t enjoy them as much or don’t appreciate them as much.
Japan and America have got the largest gaming population so it makes sense they are given the games first. But what about us Europeans we are gamers and some of the most loyal gamers. I'm sure there are lots of people in Europe who are getting annoyed with being last to get their hands on great games.
The Japanese and Americans are already saying 'I can't until Final Fantasy 11 comes out' while us Europeans are still waiting patiently for FFX to come out. Its like they enjoy making us wait, maybe it makes us appreciate the time and effort going into these games and consoles?.. We love games and drawl at the little preview videos we get of the games that are already out in Japan America etc.
I feel that there is no need for the Japanese and Americans to get the games first; they should just make a worldwide release date for the games and consoles.
Making a worldwide release date would make everyone happy and get to experience excellent technology at the same time as they do.
I'm sure I’m not the only one who feels this way so please express your feelings about this in here.
Thanks

Nah, but it's the whole of Europe that gets them ages after everyone else, and not just us.
Shame that.
(If you want PAL games quicker, and cheaper) order them from Australia.`

There are probably many reasons why we get our games and consoles last, but the only few I can think of at the moment are:
- Since Japan and America are both on NTSC, they don't have to have PAL versions made, so it is quicker for them.
- We are a relatively small contry, so we will always be doomed to get the bum deal.
- Since Japan and America are both on NTSC, they don't have to have PAL versions made, so it is quicker for them.

I think if you looked around the forums a bit you could see that no-one on here likes the way games companies do this to us.
I'm one of them.
