Is there a place to pre-order the game from in the US to receive a metal case?  Adversely, if there isn't can I order it from the UK?  I know US-based games work fine on a Japanese console, and I can't imagine theres much if any difference between UK and US versions..so couldn't I just order it from there?

Any info would be appreciated, I really want the metal case.

Europe uses PAL and USA uses something else i doubt the disk would work..

Ah damn..I just know a friend of mine has the white japanese console and he plays all my games just fine..I don't know the format though.

Anyone else able to confirm?

I also know a friend of mine has ordered 360 games from the UK because of the metal case and they work on his 360. That's the main reason I figured it would work.
