I'm only going by past experiences. The software would normally enter Australia via the East coast (Sydney) , then get trucked or shipped by rail over to where I live 4352Km (by rail - longer by road) to the West in Perth.
It would be delivered to the shops at least a week after it's in the stores on the east coast.
Normally the software can take a month or more to get to Australia after more civilized places.
I cannot see the distributor holding up a European or American release just so it can hit the shelves in Australia at the same time.
Once it goes gold and into production they'll want it being sold as quickly as possible.
So even if I prefer a boxed copy (Which I do) I'll buy the download if it means me getting the sim when it's released.
I just hope they sell an accessory pack (Pewter wings, Survival Manual, maps, German phrase book (English for German sales) and May West) so we can have the same things as the boxed version!
Cheers!
