    It has to do with the retail release dates for software. In North America, new movies and software are released on Tuesdays, and in Europe it's on Friday. Not sure why Australia isn't until the 12th though...

    Servers open February 2nd. As soon as you have a copy, you can play from Feb. 2nd onward. :)

    Most EU retailers won't sell it prior to February 5th though. You might get lucky or order an digital copy online.

    Yeah i can get it through steam on the 2nd and other digital downloaders,


    the uk's leading retailer (Game) is selling it on the 12th,
    it's a bit confusing really seeing as there is only 1 server (in US)

    i might get it through steam or wait,
    i got global agenda to play so no problem.
