Oh wait ... UK, US and Canada ...

Great Move Microsoft ... (yeah yeah, you're going to focus on Europe - maybe they should teach you a bit better in the US because Europe isn't GB alone.)

Why isn't this a global download?

Getting tired of all region specific features and releases.

I played the demo and expected a short brief, TEASER like Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action, but NOOOOO!  This game is (almost) TOTALLY what I have been looking for!!!  The humor of the characters moving, choosing an answer, winning, etc.  It takes 2 questions to actually understand the concept!!  It reminds me of Acrophobia (you get thrown some letters and must make a phrase out of the letters and then everyone votes, the most popular acronym gets the points), only this is educational!!  AND ON XBOX LIVE!!!  I can hardly wait....  I am SO-O-O-O-O looking forward to a You Don't Know Jack Xbox Live Version!!!!   Wits and Wagers Multiplayer Couch-to-Couch player is something I am looking forward too!!!  I'll be buying this tomorrow (paid day).  

If you are friendly, please do not hesitate to invite me - send a message first - subject: Major Nel, then invite me so I'll know you are not just a random invite. (grinning)

Game On!

This could be a fun game to play online... If you were allowed to play with people outside your country.

I'm in Canada and most of my friends are in the US and the game prevents joining matches outside your own country.

So... are games such as this and Army of Two setting the precedent?  That this 'community' crap MS keeps spouting is actually 'community in YOUR area, not OURS'.

Not that I really care with a game as crappy as this, but the underlying motives present a worrying view at what the future might be like, and it's becoming increasingly Sony-won.  This coming from a household with two 360's and a promise not to own a PS3 which is becoming ever more likely to be one that is broken...

Very poor show.  And give us decent games! Or at least a choice of two when the title is as crappy as this shovelware.

I'm guessing the strict regions are something to do with the fact that it is a trivia game.  Now i don't know for sure since I haven't played the demo yet, but you can't expect a trivia game to do well in other countries other than the ones selected.  Most questions in trivia games are surrounding pop culture and events that Americans, Canadians, and British know about.  If you think a guy in China is going to be able to tell you the name of Fraiser's dog, then you would be wrong.  

Again I am assuming that is the way the game goes and what kind of questions are asked.  Just like most of us Americans don't know much about what is important to people in other countries, I highly doubt they know things that is common knowledge to us.

Such as:

Who stars in the MTV show Punk'd

Where did Michael Jordan finish his career

Who led the Confederate army in the Civil War

im guessing the game has questions along those lines.....and people outside of the selected regions arent going to have a clue on most of them.  Just my 2 cents
