Is there a reason as to why it's out earlier in europe? On the other hand, usually it's the opposite, so i guess i shouldn't complain about it.

CA is originally based in the UK (Sussex I believe), so we are their nearest market.

Because Europe is where CA (the real CA, not the ozzie wannabes :P) is based and thus we deserve it first.

And after my misery at the Dawn of War Dark Crusade release date (like 3-4 weeks after US release, comes out 2moz) I think we deserve it :)

**TheImp** · 11-02-2006, 21:53

Yeah, we deserve it, i agree.

CA just want to be Different. Its what they do.. they are different.

Just Kidding. Thanks for releasing in Europe first CA

I believe that a lot of staggered releases are because there are different "traditional" days for launching games. In the UK, I've heard, it's Fridays, and in the US Mondays.

But that wouldn't change what order they come in.

It is indeed traditionally on a Friday over here, but these online shops actually caused the retailers over here to release Football Manager 2007 and Pro Evolution Soccer 6 on Wednesdays to compete, Sports Interactive actually gave them permission due to some online retailers sending people the game on the Monday.
