Just a quick warning, im going to come off a little bit angry here, but please see it through to the end.

Thank you Sony for continuing to show no respect to the countries which show you the most support over the competition Once again the sony customers in the Europe and Australia get the second rate deal, with the higher cost (at least in Australia, I cant vouch for Europe).

Many of you may have seen the recently revealed MGS PS3 package, sporting MGS, 80 gig and a Dual Shock 3. Cool huh?

Well according to Kotaku, The PAL territories have this to look forward to.

Two separate bundles, both 40 gig, The first containing Gran Turismo PROLOGUE (which isnt even a freaking game its a glorified demo they make you typically pay for.) The second containing three blu ray movies, Casino Royale, Spiderman 3 and 300 (For Europe, i cannot confirm its the same movies for AUS). Which is ok, 2 good movies and 1 half decent, thats fine, all will look awesome in HD. But wait, whats this? They will ship with SIXAXIS CONTROLLERS. WTF. No Dualshock?

Is it not bad enough the console didnt ship with them after we were LIED to that the motion sensing technology was incompatible. What is it a year from launch? and they are still bundling them. "Well i guess some sucker has to pay for our mistakes", and those suckers once again are the PAL territories.

The arrogance sony have displayed in this generation of console wars has repeatedly blown me away, but seeing this after seeing the North American deal, they have undone the reputation they were slowly repairing for me.

Just for the Americans reading this, i would like to communicate some cost difference.

The latest Bundle deal i saw, featuring three blu ray movies umm either 20 or 40 gig model not sure. $699 Aus. At the time of writing this, according to currency conversion site XE.com that equates to $654 USD.

Unbelievably, despite cost and lack of games PS3 sales are somewhere in the vicinity of the Xbox360 here. Generally it seems due to ingrained brand loyalty, which i've witnessed first hand among my friends and my dam brother, who everytime i try and explain some logical reasons his ends would be served better by a 360, he interprets it as a "My Consoles Is Better Argument", Sony brand loyal to the end. It doesnt seem to matter how much they might feel like pissing on him.

I guess by now this is starting to look like some sort of anti Sony - 360 fanboy rant, but this opinon has come from observation, not blind loyalty. Im judging things from what i've been presented. Heres a quick run down of the sony products i own:

Playstation

Playstation 2

Sony Bravia LCD

Sony car amplifier, speakers, head unit.

Sony PSP

All excellent products which I have enjoyed immensely, they were bought because they are the best in their field. (except the sony car speakers, but they were a good price)

I want to buy a Playstation 3, I want to hook it up to my Bravia, I want to use remote play with my PSP, I want to plug it into the Sony surround package i will probably own soon, I want to play Little Big Planet, MGS4, Final Fantasy. But I wont spend more money and get the same than i will in 6 - 12 months, and frankly i feel like i can wait, I honestly feel im getting twice the gaming on 360. Why arent you making the sell Sony?

A quick btw. THANK YOU PLAYSTATION STORE for sending me an email telling me the God Of War demo was available to download, only for me to click the link and get told i dont meet the criteria because i am Australian. Honestly the layout of these sites (there are like 4 different sites?), are confusing and unhelpful. Get it together please.

I apoligise if you are a diehard PS3 fan and you've taken this all the wrong way but please try and remember im on your side. I just want to see Sony do well and treat the country that has been so good to them with a little respect, i dont think they deserve to be where they are now from what they have demonstrated thus far. Am i wrong?
