I am not sure why they released it Thursday there and Tuesday here.

Why not Saturday? That would have been much better.

In Japan, games companies like Square Enix have an obligation to release their major titles (ie, Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy etc) on a holiday period, or at least at the end of the week. Otherwise, the japanese economy would hiccup at the inevitable yet sudden decrease in worker/student attendance. Its getting to a stage where the same should apply to the american and european games publishers, especially with blockbuster hits like GTA and Halo hitting retailers on weekdays. We cant control ourselves!
