What I'm trying to say is that since Harmonix is a United States-based company, it should not be unreasonable to expect delays (however long they may be) with getting their items to other countries. Not just the shipping of the products, but the production time it takes to make the products able to work on different region systems (e.g. NTSC-J, NTSC-M, NTSC-N, NTSC 4.43, PAL-M, etc.). Of course they will work on the United States' region code first, and for a few reasons:
    1) Population
    2) High videogame demand
    3) It's the country that the company is based in. If you don't see how this would affect anything, here's an example: You start a bakery in England. You're not going to ship your breads and pastries to Canada before you let people in England eat some.

    I am in no way affiliated with Harmonix, so I am not liable for any misinformation in my above statement, nor is Harmonix. That is simply my opinion. Have a good Sunday, everyone.
    I've thought about these points before but it's hard to get my head around some of them regardless. I mean their competition (such as GHWT) isn't having as big problems, nor are they organising a ton of stuff that keep other countries in the dark.

    I know you mean well but their are some things to be corrected:

    1) The European population goes over double the North American population.

    2) Therefore their is a high (maybe higher) demand here that's also willing to pay over double price with only 15% of the price is going towards VAT. All for the same stuff.

    3) I see the logic, but if you take a look comparing the releases of every game Harmonix was involved with except GH2 and GH:ERot80's, you'll see they have a nasty habit of terrible release dates unmatchable by any other developer. It seems the problem lies purely with them and at this point I find hard to believe it could still be about money anymore. Bad European release dates died with the 90's. GHWT is Neversofts first game to include drum technology but they've managed to top Rock Bands sequel, let alone RB1. On that note, I'd also be surprised if it were to be about laws.

    By the way I believe hearing somewhere that the peripherals work with any game disc. It doesn't matter whether it's PAL, NTSC etc. So production of those shouldn't be any different.

    I don't see what it is I could be missing if there is actually anything.

    Im assuming it works the same for PS3
    So....this leads me to think with enough purchases the MS points could be used to buy say other things on marketplace....why not just make it energizer exclusive DLC HMX ?

    I love free things...or course since I have rechargeable batteries I would be buying needless batteries for "free dlc" now exclusive content would get me buying batteries for more money than DLC costs.
