    Yeah they should have just released it at like 12 midday everywhere across the world. So 12 midday for each time zone, that way the downloading is evenly split. Makes sense to me...

    You think America would be happy getting it 5-7 hours after the UK, and basically a whole day after Aus? No chance.

    It's being made by an American company, and run on American servers. It's gonna come out at a convenient time in the US because that's where this whole thing is happening. Staggering times would not only be stupid, making some people wait because a small minority get confused by time zones, but present even more opportunities for technical screw ups and late releases.

    Technically, That would fail. As Australia time is alot earlier than bungie time, so the would have to spend nearly a day releasing they beta In different timezones for every 30 minutes.

    Ffs... Pegasi beat me to it. Well, atleast two of us know how timezones work:)

    2 hours ago I woke up to play the Beta. I knew it wasn't coming out for another 6 hours, but I was hoping you guys were wrong, but you were right. And since we are speaking about maybe skipping school, my parents have agreed to pick me up in the middle of school so that I can play the Beta.

    Seriously? That's insane, my parents are ridiculously safe, but there's no way in hell they would have done that, or anyone else's parents that I know tbh. Are they massive Halo fans or something?

    Holy ****, your parents are doing that? They can barely stand me playing on weeknights when I've done all my homework, but you go home in the middle of school? ****. They must be Halo fans or something.

    Yeah, my parents are awesome! The main two reasons that they are doing that is because the two classes I am missing is Journalism and Band (which I hate!). Secondly, I get almost straight A's in school and I'm a good kid, so they're picking me up early.
