And then you'd give US the heads up, right?

Of course, but if she did know anything, I don't know if it would involve stuff happening outside Victoria, but it might, you just don't know

I just got a reply from my contact, and as of right now all she can tell me is that there will be an Australian release, but she said there wasn't a date set yet

Like Poodle Hat before it, Straight Outta Lynwood is being released on the Monday following a long weekend - 2nd of October.

So really there's a 6 day wait between the releases, hence there is absolutely no need us Aussies need to order from overseas! Freaking yay!

And it looks like it's a CD/DVD pack instead of a dualdisc! I hope it still has the same features as the American release has.

I just sent them an email asking if the Australian release will have all of the same features. I can't see why it wouldn't though

Well, DualDiscs are readily available in Australia, so I don't think it'll be very different.

this was in the Chit Chat Topic, and here's some of the blurb from the Mothership

Even though "Straight Outta Lynwood" is being released on Sept. 26 in the U.S., we just found out that because of a mix-up at the label (don't ask) it will not be released in Australia until Sept. 30 and it will not be released in Canada until Oct. 3. Sorry. Also, we're being told that outside of the U.S., it will NOT be a DualDisc, but rather a separate CD and DVD - which unfortunately, for some reason (*sigh*... don't ask) will not include the 5.1 or instrumental mixes.


Now Chaos had the release date as Oct. 2, so I'm not sure what's going on there, but I suggest that everyone cancel their pre-orders and get it from Amazon or something, or get both.

I've heard 26th.. I've heard 30th.. and I've heard Oct. 2. I'll just have to duck into KMart everyday after then.
