Wow, that's surprising. NA or Japan always get things first. Maybe they're testing it in a small market first.

Hey, it seems weird to me too! The best explanation I've seen so far is hsrob's; that because we're such a small market they could release it here before they have enough stock for a large scale NA/EU release.

Well, that really seems to be the most logical explanation!

Damn right it's unfair. I haven't got a clue why it is, it's been this way as long as I can remember. Maybe just because they can get away with it?

For much of last gen I ended up just imported my games from the UK, it was cheaper even including international postage.

It's simple economics, supply and demand. In smaller markets, products are priced higher to get a similar return than the high volume markets.
