   In the States they're out already? I thought they wouldn't hit the market   
   until the end of October. I'm trying to restrain myself from importing   
   lately, because I'm starting to realize how that influences what companies   
   decide to release. Localization won't happen if the target market buys out   
   another country's stock, like we did with Shenmue 2.

   That fits in with other online games. Apparently a lot of developers are   
   unhappy with Xbox Live. On the other hand, having the whole network   
   structure abstracted away like that means that they don't have to worry   
   about coding up an interface for every game. That's one reason that   
   Square's PlayOnline system turns me off.
