Today's date is 23.08.2010 but in America it's 08.23.2010 or something.
I blame inbreeding, cheap petrol and taking the bible too seriously.

No need to randomly insult USians. Wait.... what am I saying that for, I don't believe that to be true, although you shouldn't do it, it be against forumn rules.
Day/Month/Year does make more sense, and so does Miles as apposed to Kilometers and Spelling Colour with a U, It all makes more sense to do it the English way. But I think I might be a bit bias'd.
Also the date difference for release has nothing to do with format, its 21st of September in North America, so I assume it will be released to The US/Canada/Mexico on the 21st. (Otherwise they wouldn't have said NorthAmerica, they would have said "The US".
But if you live elsewhere in the world, say Europe, the Internation release date is the 24th of September, thats many precious wasted hours of "one more turn"

Got the next monday off work, maybe i'll add a couple more days if i feel like it. Now i really would like to put time in quick forward to reach sept. 24th in a second ^^
Lol, the guy who is worried about lot of homework in Grade 9 doesn't need to worry that much, especially in the first month (or second, I don't know your school board). Grade 10 probably won't be too bad for me.
Also, I don't like it when the North America (Canada/USA/Mexico) relase is just the "USA" release. That is 140,000,000 people your ignoring there.

The release date happens to be my birthday and I had already scheduled a week off. I just know back then the true reason for my week off until I heard the release date announcement. Now I do.

I might take that Friday off to extend the weekend, not sure. I don't have a whole lot of vacation days left for the year.

I read in another thread this is because games typically come out on tuesday in the USA and friday everywhere else, and despite the fact that a lot of people will get this digitally, they still have to tie in to retail.
Sounds silly to me but I've had to wait weeks/months for european games to be available in the US so whatever.
