I am so glad I don\'t live in Europe!
« on: July 05, 2001, 02:12:58 PM »
Well, it must suck getting games last! You even get movies last! I mean, Tomb Raider isn\'t even in the UK yet!

But why do EURO gamers get so screwed? I mean, in AUS, we get quite a few games before the EURO do (Le Mans, Crazy Taxi, Extermination) and yet the PAL format is the same.

What gives? I think that SONY UK need to pick up their acts, because otherwise Nintendo or Microsoft might answers UK gamers prayers...

Yes, we Europeans seem to be in for it most of the time

1) You have far superior weather (al least to Scotland, anyway).

2) Xmas is nice and sunny over there.

3) Nice weather = more cleavage exposure

4) Game releases are generally way behind

5) We\'re way behind for movies

Er, if any non-European can think of any more depressing reasons, please feel free to make us more glum.....

I would much rather get Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels on original release day than Tomb Raider.

Euros also get more demos then US gets.  Heck, US doesn\'t get jack for demos.

True, but what would you rather have...?  Demos or full-releases first....?

Also, DVD-wise, their movies come out far quicker, usually have more special features, and they are much cheaper too.

Europe gets the majority of titles before we do here in Aussie and NZ.

I heard that some companys release some games first down here to minimise piracy. Could be true.  I dont see how it would though.

Well, it can\'t be all that bad over in Europe. I had a trip there.. Germany, Austria, France, Czech, and Switzerland are beautiful... It\'s just that everything else... Well, sucks. lol

I think the reson us Australians get some games quicker here is because of the SONY plant in Canberra or where ever it is. Games are now being made here.

NZ doesn\'t have a very large user base, I mean, you have a population of 3 million...

NZ - 3 million
AUS - 21 million
UK - 59 million
USA - 284 million
Japan - 1288 million

Any wonder JAP gamers get there games first!

Finland is a beautiful place...

And heck, we got GBA two days earlier than rest of the europe...

The flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, the birds are singing...

We are always at least a month behind movies - I wonder when I\'ll get the opportunity to watch A.I....

The sky is blue, the water is warm, the people are nice...

Usually the Pal-conversions are lazy and pushed quickly - we get games late, etc.

Finland is the home of Santa Claus and many reindeer...

I\'m so glad GBA doesn\'t have regional codes...

Overall = Living in Finland = sucks, Being a gamer in Finland = partly sucks
