Censorship and delays galore.

Canada. Where part of SCEA but they like to ignore us to focus on america.

The Philippines.

The gaming society here is a joke.

DoTA(WC3) and cheap MMORPG players FTL

north korea is the worst place to live in the world period. serve the leader very well or be sent to a camp (with your entire family) to die.antifanboyftw

Wales. They don't have electricity there yet.

I always feel sorry for Europeans and Australians.

Zerocrossings

Why is that?

Probably Congo: "The Republic of Congo in central Africa is leading the way being the Poorest Country today with a GDP-per Capita of $300.00" I mean...the entire nation only makes $300 a year. The entire nation would have to come together to buy a PSP Go, or a Wii.

japan by far. they are known for video games. but yet their weekly sales chart is always packed with wii and ds games as best sellers.

Canada. Where part of SCEA but they like to ignore us to focus on america.

Respawn-d

Explain? we get everything the USA does at the exact same time. And whatever it is... it cannot be worse than Australia or even Europe

EVERYBODY!!!! It's not Australia, it's New Zealand. Not only do we get the censored Aus versions of the games, we have even more inflated prices and a **** load of lag to boot!! At least the PS3 has higher sales than 360 here ::D

Australia.

ok... You do realize that this "issue" also applies to Australia on top of high game prices, delays and censorship. Canada has it good compared everywhere else that is not Japan... oh and the USA cuz we cant enter a contest.

And add most European countries as well too. The Wii and DS best-sellers are almost universial.

I agree. Human's adapt very well which is what keeps me from feeling too bad about people in 3rd world countries, while they do have to deal with sicknesses and those kinds of pains the actual living itself is very standard and probably normal... Same applies to north korea where they're zombies to the government.

They live in fear which really keeps them from breaking free, Kim Jong Ill has learned well from history.

Haiti.

Zimbabwe! They had a 100 billion dollar bill at one point.

While i cant say for sure because i dont know how bad it is everywhere else. It is pretty bad being a gamer in Australia. high prices, long delays, stupid censorship rules and annoying latancy issues with online gaming make it a pretty bad place to live for gaming.

Probably Congo: "The Republic of Congo in central Africa is leading the way being the Poorest Country today with a GDP-per Capita of $300.00" I mean...the entire nation only makes $300 a year. The entire nation would have to come together to buy a PSP Go, or a Wii.

No, what it means is it would take an entire years worth of working just to save up enough money for one person to buy a PSP Go or Wii.

The Republic of Congo has a GDP worth $15.570 Billion. Not $300 bucks.

The worst part about being an Australian gamer isn't the censorship (which is a rare occurrence), it's the needlessly inflated price. EVERYBODY I know is a pirate, it's ingrained into society. It honestly shocked me how much piracy is shunned in SW, considering I grew up with it being the norm.

South Africa isn`t bad, but we don`t have Demons Soul and I want it.

Just import. Your PS3 is region-free so put that feature to good use.

Apparently in brazil it costs nearly 200 bucks for a new ps3 or 360 game...

Portugal, for a 360 gamer

Korea at least Australia gets games in their language. We have harsh AND corrupt censorship system (Mario was once rated an equivalence of Mature, since one of its minigames depicted a slot machine, and they somehow related that to gambling), plus 80% our games are not translated EDIT: delays? We just got Super Smash Bros Brawl here, and Twilight Princess arrived 2 years late. And our Wii is not backward compatible.funsohng

you live in south korea right?

North Korea

Australia, Middle East, Asian Piracy countries

Pretty much any country in South America

I don't know if Brazil is the worst but I had to pay $1500 for my 360 and any game here cost at least $120...

I`ve tried to but Ster Kinekor controls the imports and they blocked me when I ordered it.

Egypt: They banned gaming. All if it.

Seen with a game you could end up in prison so i hear lol.
