Anyone outside of the US here?

[HardRockerBrazil]

Why does this board only allow United States to be set as country?

Is there anyone else foreign to USA here?

Well, my nickname's a dead giveaway, but what about the other members from outside the US?

[DIEGOROBOT26]

Well, I am originally from Peru, but I live in Jersey. I don't think that one counts though, did you see Rush in Rio? Because if you did I officially hate you.

[Lingus]

I'm from Canada, I just left the state as default. I imagine it will be fixed eventually and I'll fix my profile then.

[gnrneeded]

Canada here also.
Hopefully they fix that soon.

[RevenGer]

I'm from Mexico :)

Because the US is the best country.

[HardRockerBrazil]

Little portugal, aka New Bedford MA,

Hey, I have relatives living there! (being this why I set the state as MA :P )

And DIEGOROBOT26, no I haven't seen Rush in Rio. Just heard some flickers of the album, but I didn't really like it anyway (I'd rather their 70's and early 80's classics).

WW
And the FWA :D

I'm from Boston England myself.

Oh, and beerman, you're only being told you're the best country, ya have to remember, our national sport we don't have to dress up like a marshmellow man for :P.

[LavatoryLoveMachine]

I didnt know you could set it as default. Technically, Im in the US, cuz this is US territory, but Im from Puerto Rico!

HardRockerBrazil, Angra rocks!

[Coldplayer]

I'm from far away. Vienna, Austria.

[JB4GDI]

Japan. Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to play Rock Band :(

Aren't USA and Japan in the same region on PS3 games (I think they're both region 1)? And don't they both run NTSC?

[Coldplayer]

Japan. Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to play Rock Band :(

Why not? Isn't the game coming out in Japan too?

[lorddavid]

Pretty sure that there's a different setting in there somewhere...

I can see a modded PS3 for that dude, with him finding some way of getting a mate to somehow download the tracks and send 'em through on disc for him to load up onto his machine.

Might take a while... but dammit it's Rock Band, and any true fan will do anything to get their hands on it!

[JB4GDI]

I'm pretty sure they're only releasing it in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK, but my memory could be bad.

I was wrong: USA and Japan share the same Blu-Ray movie region. There is apparently no region lock on the games themselves according to Sony's website.

So he's good to import apparently.

lol, I can assure you that the game will come out across entire Europe, not only UK. (I'm sure it will come out here in Austria too, like erm... every other game. :D )

[JB4GDI]

Well, I'm not sure if they'd need to translate things like the menus, I don't know how stuff works over there. There's a lot of not-English spoken in the EU :D.

-Jaime

[lorddavid]

Yeah... but if they can't read the menu's... they're gonna be screwed for the singing aspect ain't they?

[LavatoryLoveMachine]

If a greek and a german wanna talk, I would think they would talk in english.

My point being european gamers wont have any trouble reading menus. English is a second language pretty much everywhere. You have to. Otherwise, you wouldnt be able to order a Big Mac in any corner of the world :)

Yep, the PS3 is region free, so I could import. But I would absolutely get raped on the shipping costs. Does anyone know if it'll restrict my downloadable content too?

[JB4GDI]

From what I hear, you can create a master account for a different country but if you want to get US DLC, you'll need a US credit card or US Playstation Points card to buy anything. That later part will be the only snag, but if you can have someone you know in the US buy you a points card and send it to you, you should be fine (it'll just take a while to get to you).

-Jaime

[JimNasium]

That I do have (well, Canadian credit card). But I also need a PS3 for this :p

[Coldplayer]

Well, in terms of language, sure, we get the game with german menues and all, but everyone learns english in school, I, for instance, have my Xbox set up in english language, because I like that language better then my own. (most games have better english voice actors than german va) :p

Anyway, in Rockband there is no dialog, they only have to translate the menues, this will be done fast. (They don't even have to do that if you ask me)
And besides, there are games out there with a lot of dialog that got translated and recorded in different languages and the game still came out shortly after the US release.

[danbhala]

Hey!

I'm from Dublin in Ireland.

cant wait for rockband. I've been a drummer for about 8 years so will be attempting it all on expert on my first try!

Also, I have the highest gamerscore in guitar hero 2 in ireland :)

Ack! He's German? Right, everyone... Don't mention the war!

[Coldplayer]

:confused:

Actually I'm from Austria. And if you mean World War 2, I still don't get what you trying to imply. Anyway, don't care about that at all, that was way before my birth.

[lorddavid]

It's a Fawlty Towers gag... This part specifically (http://youtube.com/watch?v=5MbeT7_ARm8)

[Nitz13]

Eh i slipped my actual location in there.. Van city :o

[Coldplayer]

lol, now I understand. Funny. :p

[Maherj]

Canada here, but we border the state of Maine and I'm about a 2 hour drive from Houlton, so I just put Maine in my profile.

[lithiumkc]

Really? Me to... What part of Van?

Well technically not van, chilliwack :p

[lorddavid]

lol, now I understand. Funny. :p
Well, I like my comedy... and it's not often I can figure a gag like that into general conversation... so I just had to take it :D.

[Nitz13]

Well technically not van, chilliwack :p

Cool, I have a couple cousins in Chilliwack, so i go there couple times a year

[The_Wurm]

Hey, I have relatives living there! (being this why I set the state as MA :P )

[Larkspeed]

Gotta admit I'm from the Netherlands and I was shocked that you could only select United States as your country. Thats being on the verge of prujudice

Whereabouts? I go to Brock University in St. Catharines! Moving down on saturday!

[inessousasousa14]

i'm from portugal do u want to play rb3?

[SheSaidSheSaid]

Probably not, considering the last post in this thread before yours came more than four years ago.

[MegaIronDragonDeth]

Wow, this might be the biggest thread necro on these forums.

[SheSaidSheSaid]

I tend to agree. I think I know how this keeps happening. If you click on 'Last Post By' on the forum screen, it'll flip-flop the sorting and bring the oldest threads to the top rather than the newest ones. I have to believe this is why we keep getting so many charming flashbacks to 2007 and 2008.

[sa_nick]

Lol, awesome necro. It even has a post from my old account, which is actually somehow the same account as i still use, but not...


Yeah, we need more Aussies.

[GNFfhqwhgads]

I always think sa_nick is gone, but he seems to be dragged along on a leash by every thread from 2007/2008.
