Baddies in tights Oh, my. I'm not even sure how to explain this. Well... first read the thread (it actually gets relevant here), then look at the picture. And then wonder about the free time Halo fans have... and be afraid. Be very afraid. (Louis Wu 13:38:50 UTC) (permalink) 
Three different X-boxes? Three different X-boxes? Daily Raider UK have an interview with J Allard of Microsoft concerningX-box's global roll-out. Here's a quote: DR-UK: If you buy a game in Japan, will it work on a UK X-Box? J Allard: That's up to the publisher. We'll build three different boxes, one for each territory, and what thepublisher can choose to do is: they can make one disc that runs worldwide. Or they can make a disc thatonly runs in the US. Or they can make a disc that runs in Europe but has all the languages. Or they canmake a different disc for every language in every territory - it's really up to the publisher. We hear frompublishers that there are a couple of reasons why they don't want all games to run always worldwide.
The HBO Spin: Different boxes for different territories? Sounds like DVD region specific players. It'll be interesting to see if Bungie fans outside the US will get Halo at the same time as those in the US. (Ding 06:44:01 UTC) (permalink)
