I'm located in Ontario Canada and I'm pretty sure my console is set to that. Tomorrow I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the game just as something else to rule out. Not sure if this helps but more refined details steps of what happened was that I turned my console on (which I haven't in several months) and it did a 1.5 GB download patch for the XBOX. Then put the game in, started the install, while it was installing I was playing around with the minigame. I can't remember if it had to download an update; Once installed went straight into split screen co-op, both of us selected peashooter and the rest of the details are mentioned in my previous post
