I see...so if I were to pick up a game in a bargain bin in London it 
would be the same exact thing as the Japanese version, artwork and all? 
Sorry if I'm being dense, its just that I have some friends that will 
be in England for a while and I'm debating whether or not to pester 
them to find stuff I can't find over here (DE 2 and Beyond Shadowgate, 
for example). But, since I'm super-anal about my collection I only want 
US releases whenever possible. 
Thanks for the detailed reply!!
