There's an extra discount in The Netherlands and Belgium. Till the end of this year the buyer of a new 360 can send in a coupon to Microsoft to get 30 euros back. This puts the Elite version at the same price as the Wii (€250).

Game: Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

When: right now.....

I imagine I'll find it right next to Wario Ware or something over here in The Netherlands. Many games are rated 18+ over here (example: GTA, Gears of War), so I don't think retail will pass out on it.

Anyway, won't game-oriented retail stores like Gamestop still carry it? Is banning from a generic store like Wal-mart such a problem? I'm not sure how big Wal-mart is, we have no equivalent here.

89% Japanese HOUSEHOLDS != 89% Japanese people

In the Dutch version, red ("rood" - pronounced similarly to road) is the bad guy. :(

Didn't Super Mario 64 do a lot better in the west? It might have bombed in Japan but that doesn't mean it's a failure. :o

I mean... Twilight Princess bombed in Japan as well.

THIS IS MADNESS

Just to add: in Europe, SE used the same boxart as in JAPAN for FFIII. Maybe because of bad feedback coming from the US?

It'd be a sale in Europe. :p

Correction to the article: it's pre-WWI, not WWII.
