Someone asks, we deliver: The Xbox
360 will launch sometime during the 2006 calendar year for all the patient gamers in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, and Colombia.
We presume that the announcement concerning Australia and New Zealand will include the rest of Oceania—that is, the
Pacific isles—but we'll let you know when we get the official official word from MS. People have heard enough
about North America, Europe, and Japan now, haven't they?
Here's to a truly worldwide launch, even if it does take a year or so to complete (which, in the grand scheme of
things, isn't all that bad… relatively speaking).
[Thanks go out to Sara, our kindly contact at Microsoft's PR firm for Xbox-related news, for providing us with this
announcement.]
