It's incredible that a "worldwide release" is only for the US, Europe and Japan. I despise the naming of such a launch since a foray of countries more loyal to the Xbox brand have been left for dead again. I am now ashamed to say I live in Australia, the 3rd most prosperous nation, because it's not part of the plans which will unfold everywhere else. At this rate, the n00bs of this country will be fooled by the soon-to-come Sony marketing ploys on literally all the TV channels here, just as with the PSP. If Microsoft wants a connected future like Australians, Kiwi's and the rest of the regions left behind, they aren't doing it too well when we'll be left un-plugged.
