The main reason why we get different release dates is because of the PAL/NTSC conversion on systems.

The US gets the release first because that is where the game is made. It is made for their system, and then it is converted to PAL systems. This conversion takes time, and I'm not exactly sure as to what has to be done (someone in the know can probably fill in this blank). But amongst other things, they isolate problems in the NTSC version and work them out for the PAL version. Although the graphics are marginally worse, we do get a more stable game with fewer glitches.

Also, we will probably get the name Deception. As far as I know, only France will get Mystification.

i know its fucked up i was so happy when i thought the date was november but when i pre-ordered it the eb guy said fuking next yr and im like wtf

snake eater dude, so you pre ordered at EB. Did you preorder a special release game or just the standard. Will we get special releases in Australia.

they didnt know at the time but he said if we do get the speciel edition version that our pre-orders will change to the speciel edition version

and they didnt say which version we will get either, although i have a feeling its all of them

I was told by EB yesterday that MKD is scheduled for release in Australia Mid-February unfortunately.

i was told january

its fuking mk5 all over again

i was told jan too.

Damn this conspiracy. Luckily God is my brother so he can cause a plague on Midway hehe. Yes vengenance is sweet. I paid $132.00 on MK 2 when it first came out so i deserve some respect from the Mk Regime. I own all the games, comics cards. I have a sektor and cyrax figurine and all the soundtracks why can't they look after the Australian public we are the ones that helped spawn a sequel to Final Fantasy 7. Yes no one else but us the Australians we are gaming devotees who need to be placed on an equal podium. Every Australian has a console does china no, does America no. So come on Boon look after the soon to be world power (Australia). Cheers

I realy hope that it comes out soon cause this is probaly my most wanted game of all time, i want it more than both halo 2 and fable now, im getting pissed that EB cant get a date and stick with it.

Well, I'm sick and tired of being confused about a release date of a supposingly important game release. Midway have to realise that America isn't the only country out there, like how Nintendo have to realise that Japan isn't. IGN has said that it's coming on November the 5th. I hope they're right, but I'm not going to rest until Midway say "That is the date".

Simple as that.

Blame America for using the out-dated NTSC processors.

lol stupid yanks jk

on the other hand they can do all the hard work of figuring the super unlockable characters out so we dont have to

We have to wait a few extra months when it comes to games coming from Japan. So we know how you Ozzies fell towards being left behind! We get it earlier since the games coming from an american developer like Midway.

No, because we have to wait even longer for Japanese games.

Either way it sucks!!!

HERES A THOUGHT.............
why the hell don't you just order it from e-bay or from the ebgames website to deliver it to you on the day it comes out to the U.S.
If that doesn't work, you could always ask a friend you have in the states to mail you up a copy you know!!!!!!!!
think about it, peace out dude

We in the UK shud get it in November but i bet it will be pushed back like always!!
We don't even get a collection edition no wonder MK int as popular here because we dont get all the good stuff and we get it when its old news!!!

Because i'm not paying $130 for a video game, that NEEDS a modded console to work on.

Then you can wait. Either that or move to america lol.

Simple. Our live expectatancy is higher than the USA, so we are expected to live longer. Just common knowledge.

u cant say yall always get shafted when australia got the konquest series on dvd and us americans didnt (man i love that show). plus, if anyone knew any better pal is a slightly less system than ntsc. plus, dont worry about when it comes out, just be happy u r getting it at all because i know sometimes these games dont even make it past the us.
