That and the fact that games are completed in their native language and then released. After that they are converted to suite other regions.

I'd rather wait 6 months for FFXII and get it in English than get it the same time as Japan and have it in Japanese.

As far as UK-US releases are concerned there is the issue of converting from NTSC to PAL or vice-versa.

Are you the second personality of @PS3??
