I agree with the whole american - australian thing. America always get their consoles before Australia does because there is a waaay bigger audience in America who are interested in the consoles.
As long it comes out before the end of november I'll be fine but I wouldn't want it out in the middle of october as I have to prepare for uni exams and assignments etc and they always get in the way. If it does I'll have to wait till after the exams otherwise I'll forget about the exams lol.
lets just all bow our heads and pray that it is going to be a global launch..... because i couldnt take all the american people in this forum discussing how good it is..... ID GO INSANE!
yes i dont think nintendo is silly enough to release the wii after the ps3 so im expecting to have my wii before nov 14 or something so yeah in my mind that is the release date
