Actually I think you're right, he said "the servers won't know the difference between the [i]timezones[/i] but [i]surely[/i] that isn't what you say right? What's the point in that? That means people who get the game 17 hours ahead (by any means) can play immediately. But he then says the servers won't be fooled by any release before the 9th. SO, the way I think it works is [i]if you have the game, as soon as it hits 12:00am/midnight where you are, you get to play.[/i] Meaning that NZ technically has a 17 hour head start...
