  Why piracy is encouraged!

  This will just be a short post. I have soon come to realise that, although they complain about consoles not selling enough and although they had fantastic sales, they want to sell more so that they could bring 'smiles to more people's faces', they are not doing anything to back it up. If you want to sell well on the entire planet and not just in North America, a part of Europe and Japan, then keep providing support for what you want to sell. I bought a PS3 just so I could play GTAIV. And that's about it because I can't get anything else. I want to buy MGS4, but guess what, I can't. I can't even have it sent from the UK because online shops there don't want to send it. I want to get Dualshock 3 but I can't seem to find a place where to get it, I want a Blu-Ray Remote, but, as you've guessed, good luck finding one. I'll be surprised if I'll be able to get TFU when it shippes, but I doubt it. Not to mention that, they've created a new look for the PS Store, but I can't take a look because this service is not available in my country. I am stuck with a little over 40 games to choose from, which most of are versions of FIFA, NFSPS and a bunch of other lousy games. I am not buying this "Global launch" anymore, and there are times like these that I personally encourage piracy. I wanted to buy your game, but as you don't want to take my money in exchange for it, I'll get it for free, and that doesn't resume to the PS3, because the PS3 is hack-proof right now. I'm talking about the 360 and the Wii. They want to sell better, but Microsoft doesn't support X360 Live Marketplace here. So go, buy our stuff, but if it breaks or can't use it, that's your problem. Well, good luck selling. Out!

  The hunt for the PS3

  As you can see from my game collection,sadly,I don't own a PS3. And although I plan on getting one by the time GTAIV hits the shelves, I really don't see that happen right now. I am hoping for a$100 price drop after E3(the rumored $100 price drop announcement at Sony's E3 conference), drop which will greatly influence the date of the purchase(the smaller the price, the sooner I'll get it). After the Computer and Electronics Romanian Fare where I had the chance of 'Test Driving" a PS3(and combined with the fact that GTAIV is arriving on PS3 and Xbox360 - I own neither), I decided to go ahead and buy one. The only thing that's keeping me from going to the nearest retailer right now is the price. I mean $870(about 3 times the average salary) for a console does seem to cast down your hopes of getting one tomorrow. Others complain that there aren't many games available on the PS3 yet, which is true, but I really don't care about that right now. I'd have my hands full playing my PS3 gamewishlist, and I'd also use it as a Blu-Ray Player if I didn't have anything to play at the time.

  All in all, the PS3 is worth it, an amazing console system and a Blu-Ray Player for$870 is a good deal, or at least that's what some of us would say, but the entire entertaiment system would cost about $2700, a very high 'score' many of us wouldn't be willing to pay. Maybe the price drop would bring hope to our land, and may E3 bring us more good news in this section(maybe a$200 price drop ). Long live the PS3(after I get one, at least).
