The lucky three are the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. If you live in France, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands, South Africa, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Belgium, Switzerland or Mexico (or anywhere in between), sorry, you’re shit out of luck.
Tacky plastic peripherals are expensive and difficult to manufacture, and like Rock Band’s staggered release a few years back, seems there just aren’t enough of them to go around on launch day.
One thing we’re unsure of; whether Canadians are included in the “United States” statement. We’d like to think so, but then, you can’t be sure. We’ll look into it.

But this has to be the one instance where I can agree in saying go buy a real skateboard. It’s cheaper than this game and a million times better, seriously where does this stop? football attachment for fifa? hockey sticks for NHL?
