Retinal Circus releasing a month later in North America

Coming off of the main site:

"European release date is set for September 30th 2013

North American release date is set for October 29th 2013"

While I don't doubt there are good reasons for this on some level, it does seem a bit strange in an era where most things are released in both regions within a week of each other now. I fully understand DTP's strength in Europe vs. how we receive them out here... it's a bit night and day. That said, I'm really at a loss for this length of a delay.

I'm buying whatever box makes the most sense to me from Century Media, but I can't promise that the entire continent will remain saintly while the set is fully released and legally available across the pond.

Is there any particular reason? I talked to one of Shining's dudes about One One One, and a lot of the time this has to do with the parent label.

I guess I'm just a bit confused.

I'm thinking it is a mistake and should read September 29th.

unfortunately September 29th is a sunday, and October 29th is a tuesday, most new releases come out on Tuesdays, so sadly I believe it's a Tuesday for us 'Mericans

Ah, you are correct. Normally the US gets it's releases the day after the UK, so we would expect to see an Oct. 1st release this time. Very odd.
