I can\'t see what the big deal is. If you\'re the impatient type who can\'t wait a few days or more, to play a game... then there\'s a solution: import a PS2 from the States. Problem solved. Personally I wouldn\'t bother because I can wait. Besides some games are occasionally released in Europe before the US (Z.O.E. comes to mind, as does games like The Getaway, Dropship, Wipeout: Fusion, who\'ll all probably be released here first).
You have an import PS2 don\'t you ##RaCeR##? That\'s good for you or else you would have to wait until August to play GT3 in Australia, while the US/Europe gets it this month. Now THAT would suck for such a hardcore GT3 fan.
