Thanks much, Stin, for this information!

Sounds like the transition to the U.S. copy of Pulse is pretty seemless for folks that started with the PAL version-- which is simply fantastic news. Now all we need to know is whether U.S. DLC is compatible with a PAL version of the game... but there's no way to test that yet!

Hmmm, I don't suppose that SL added, you know, a Free Play mode to the game in the U.S. release?
