I thought online video game in Australia is pretty big and there's thousands of Australian gamers.
I'm in Asia and I always get 4 bars (which is pretty good) when playing multiplayer Modern Warfare 2 on PC.
Don't know about 360 & PS3 version.

It is MASSIVE in Australia. The problem lies in IW not including a local only search filter option, and thus distributing almost all Australian players into American and European matches. I can't see them fixing it either, they just turn a blind eye to the problem, even when petitions have been signed by thousands of people and sent to them, they don't acknowledge it at all.
And that is why I will NOT be buying MW3.

Limited edition gold ipod shuffle. Had a new gen but sold it because it sucks
for runners. This one works hella good!

I bought one of the new ones to use for running.... but the things so damn small I've lost it in my room!

Check that out. I wish Apple would have seen this problem before releasing
it to the public. I wonder if anyone with the new iPhone/iPod touches have the
same problem. I think they have the same headphones?

Anyways my new, last gen, shuffle works like a charm, sounds even better
I think than the new generation. =) My wife was like, "dang the sound quality
is a lot better with the old headphones!"

Yeah I feel bad for you folks in NZ and AUS. I get so frustrated sometimes when i am on at like 1am PST and i cannot find a match w/o yellow or red bars.

And yes, IW dropped the ball. This is the 2nd patch (should be live today, went live for PC on Wednesday) for MW2 to fix major problems that were overlooked. If they would've done what WAW did (treyarch, and i like them; reguardless how much slamming they receive) and have the option to find local matches.

I also find a lot of morons playing MW2 that red bar, and after i send them a message like "sweet dial up" or something (they are located in the US, mind you), they reply with "sorry, i have 3 PCs in use or my router sucks, something like that. I just can't see how people with fast internet speeds endure bad connections. I have my router portforwared, have crossover Cat6 cable, etc. :)

just picked this MM up last night. My BT Microsoft 5000 mouse was causing problems with my MBP for some reason.

Also picked up these games, and pre-ordered Bioshock 2. Already beat Bioshock and sold it:)

If I could get ADSL2+ here then I would probably be able to get 3 or maybe even 4 bar if I was lucky on American games. Right now I have the absolute fastest internet that is available where I live (Which mind you is not in the middle of nowhere) and the speed is about 1-1.3 Mb/s.

Double dipped in the PC version so I can play with friends who don't have it on Xbox.

I'm starting to like the PC version more. No stupid auto-aim and more fluid.

Blackberry tour. Probably should have gone with the motorola droid, but most of my friends have blackberries, so BBM was pretty important, and I am fine with using my ipod touch for games/apps
