Yes.
If the UK had as man people as the States or Japan, I don't think there would be a problem. But we don't; Europe as a market is large but supplying to Europe is a bitch; each country has a different language, often different formats are needed, even different power requirements.
You can see why we aren't at the top of the heap for priority in these things.
Luckily, I am primarily a PC gamer, and they come through very promptly.
GAMECUBE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Leader, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. I've played Agent Under Fire and Simpson's Road Rage.
Who's played Agent Under Fire? A kid at my school has an X-box, PS2, and a GameCube. His gramma is stinkin rich, so he's going to buy 007:AUF for all 3 systems.
Who's played Super Smash Bros. Melee!? MY FAV in the whole wide world (well, almost). I've beat it already, but it's still fun to kick peoples' butt.
I want to get Metroid Prime, Agent Under Fire, Crazy Taxi, Simpson's Road Rage, and Spider Man. Very cool.
