"North America, France, Germany and the U.K."
Endemol is a Dutch corporation and yet the Netherlands don't get it? Lame.

Figures, I mean there'll be all sorts of legal complications when it comes to giving stuff away and competition etc... Looks like another XBL service we won't see down-under, at least not anytime soon :(

Apparently because your government has so many legal policy differences on competitions and winning prizes than the rest of the world. It could be something else, but I'm not sure.

The Icelandic flag is correct.
The English flag is a red cross on a white background.

Umm, i think Volvagia is correct. Obie, i am not sure what you are smoking or if your completely oblivious to common knowledge, but they put the union jack on Iceland instead of the geographical UK. The White flag with the Red Cross is the English flag and not the UK's. If you didn't know, the UK and England is not the same. UK stands for United Kingdom which includes the countries; England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.

After further review, I didn't notice that the flag they put on Iceland was missing the two diagonal stripes, so it is the icelandic flag. Sorry Obie, but the English, UK thing still applies. Sorry if it sounds condescending though, i guess Joystiq just accidentally highlighted Iceland instead of the UK.

Obie, you are correct on both counts but the English flag should never be used in this context because the story refers to the whole of the United Kingdom, not just England.

While we're on the topic, the UK's flag is only called the Union Jack when raised at sea; at all other times it is the Union Flag. Little bit of trivia for you all :)

A C'mon you cover Spain but you don't cover México WTH? Well at least we get a better deal than Argentina olololololol.

To be honest all this stuff sounds great but I would like a "You don't know JACK" for the xlive even more.

I'm just happy that for once the UK doesn't have to wait over a year for something like this to become available.

I really don't get what that image is supposed to tell us. You have flags over all of the countries in Western Europe except the UK and Switzerland. What gives?
