Are you people seriously so hyped up that you can't wait these couple of hours? There will always be reasons to complain - if the game goes live at the same time ewerywhere, then a large number of gamers will be angry because the time is "inconvenient" for them - they will be at work, school, party, funeral, whatever. Hell, I myself won't be playing Skyrim too much when it releases, I have to wake up early in the morning and I don't want to look like a junkie strung out on meth. So Old McDonald across the street is playing TESV to death - I couldn't care less. And cut the Aussies some slack, they get effed over far too often by censorship or ridiculous pricing - at least they can play Skyrim early
