If there is one thing that is really annoying, its when a game comes to america in limited quantities. after awhile some games are virtually impossible to find in stores , let alone for a fair price. and i know i could just order them off the internet, but they should also be in stores as well. Its the basic concept of marketing, they release limited amounts pf these cult followed games so they can increase the price. "How many there are and how much the public wants it" thats what decides price. so when they release a game in extremely limited numbers in another country its or money, and one other simple thing. Popularity. Humans seem to feel the need to own that which is hardly accessible. so when a company does release in small numbers, people become aware of them, and want more of their under stocked titles. And I do not say this with contempt, it's fine with me, it's just a little annoying when you can't find a game. And i know there are other factors involved in numbers besides the aforementioned reasons. Well that was my rant.
oh and as far as i can tell the U.K. has it worse than america does
