well i live in germany(i'm an american)..............because my dad is in the american army(he is currently in iraq right now)...........and so we have american stores here called "The PX"(maybe you've heard of them?).......and the place where they sell anything electronic(video games, ipods, dvds, etc.)doesn't have it yet. but what happens is that if some thing is released in the states, we usually get it 3 months after it has come out there(in the usa). and if we do get games they usually have a very crappy selection. like the red DS bundle hasn't even come out here yet. they haven't sold star wars battlefront2 yet either. so we(myfriends and i) usually end up ordering the good stuff off of the web.
P.S. told you it was a long story
