Dude, the royal family owns most stuff there, and people working in extracting oil there work for major companies so they're not exactly poor, yes there are poor people there but not much at all. 

THats because Sony backs and financially supports Jihad.Runned

What?? most of the country is rich, if you look out the window you'd probably see a ferrari every 2 mins or something there. and i don't think it funds terrorism!!!!

The country is most certainly NOT rich. The rulers are rich, yes, but generally the people are not. The per capita income of Saudi Arabia is $12,000, which is fairly high by middle east standards, but still falls well short of the United States and Western Europe & Japan. 

Are women allowed to play video games, or are they beaten for looking at a PS3?

What happens if a girl talks to a boy on xbox Live...oh my..the sin, the sin. Where are the Mullahs?

Last week, 6.65376984 Wiis were sold every minute in Japan.

((67 070 / 7) / 24) / 60 = 6.65376984

That is a long way behind most western countries. $30k is the average for western Europe or Japan and the US is about $40k. Here is a link for anyone who thinks I'm making these figures up. The person I quoted was a bit off but not too far the GPD per capita for SA is $13 500
