"Hello world".jsp! :)

Hi, I'm a systems administrator in Portugal, for a government institution, and mainly work with Unix machines (flavours are: Solaris; HP-UX and some Linuxes <got to love SuSE>).
I'm also a very commited video-gamer.
The main issue I wanted to talk about is in the topic, but I must say something first that really annoys me:
How can someone (lot's of people, anyway...), spent many hours of their lifes bashing a machine, ans praising a non-existant one - yes, I'm talking about the X360 vs PS3 "thing". I even read somewhere, someone saying "I don't know why, but games look better to me in PS2 than in X360" - how can someone come to be like this ?
I mean..., I love my X360, but I also love my PSP, and if PS3 (when it starts to exist) come to be a good machine, I'll try with the best of my efforts to buy it, and I will love it as well.
Back to the topic: I live in a small European country (proud to be European, let make that clear), and I feel quite disconsiderated for the late game releases most games suffer in Europe. For instance, Psychonauts, praised by the critic (Eurogamer.net even awarded it the best of 2005), was released this week!!!, how late is that ? One year, that's how!  That was just an example, release dates also "slips" like never seen in Japan or US.
Ok, I have an option - import. But there's a drawback in that too, for once, if you import, let say from Liksang.com, and you take advantage from free deliver, expect 1-2 months to have your item, if you choose to use DHL or any other personalized delivery method, expect to pay almost as much for it as for the game itself!
Oh well..., I guess I'm particularly annoyed, as I'm waiting for Tokobot for 1,5 month. I hope it's worth it!
Thanks for reading.
