Andrew, I disagree
When the Wii was released in America (several weeks before the UK, you got several games well ahead of us. Infact, we still dont have 'Traumer : Second opinion'. I think you also got a couple of very good snes games that didnt come out here either.
We've been denied any physical gifts for months now, trying to get a game or clothing on the stars catalogue (when they are available...which is rare) is like trying to beat sniping software on ebay!!
Generally, the Americans get everything way before europe, Microsoft gave you Halo 2 three days before anyone else, just so you could all get good at it and beat the crap out of the rest of the world!
