The standard release day in North America is Tuesday, whereas it is Friday in the EU. I have no idea what it is in Australia, but if ME2 is releasing two days later then it is probably Thursday. God knows why they adhere to this with so many games, it is most tiresome.

Tis true the standard day of the week for new video game releases in Australia is Thursday, hence it falls to that day on it's week of release. I have no idea on the justificatiom for such procedures it is simply the way it's done.

On Thursdays, shops extend their opening hours...at least they do in Sydney. Longer opening hours = more potential customers.

Either way, life is good when you're at GMT+10 .

Lies! Well.. It is good; however our censorship issues are still at large.

Hmm, I suppose yes, the public holiday on the 26th will prove problematic for the release, but why postpone it two days? Why not the day after? >_<

Hangovers from all the alcohol consumed on the 26th.
