IMO, we shouldnt expect a US release until atleast the first part of 2011 IF Larian can get a publisher on board. If no publisher, who knows.

Whether or not the game will be compatible with LIVE service in the US doesnt matter to me, I intend to buy the Canadian 360 version as soon as it becomes available. My only concern on that would be that microsoft would not offer the same dlc content to subscribers in the states if the game has not yet been released there as well, but thats a minor issue. If nothing else, i'll buy the Canadian version, play it and sell it on ebay once the US version comes out down the road.

If possible incompatibility between US LIVE service and the Canadian game is a major issue to you all, I will make it a point to post results IF the Canadian DNS version ever becomes available in stores. Assuming, of course, that we dont get a straight answer from the Larian crew before that time comes.
