Simultaneous release for all countries?

I can't find anything to confirm if Duke Nukem 3D for XBLA will be released simultaneously for all countries this coming Wednesday. For example: Bionic Commando was released on XBLA in the States almost a month before it was made available to New Zealand and Australia.

Any idea? I can't find anything on MajorNelsons website.

I don't know, either. George? Anything official?

I don't know the answer to this, sorry. We'll find out in 24 hours. I would assume that it would be simultaneous, or close, but have no idea how much internal coordination there is at Microsoft for that to happen. It makes sense that they would want to focus on getting a game out, at one time, vs trickling it over a longer period of time.

Thanks guys

I have 1600 points on my American account just in case the release isn't simultaneous.
