Now this reeeeally sux... I'm sure about two things. I'm not gonna pay more then other countries citizens to have a less equipped machine. Another thing is that beeing it to compensate money loss of other region sells or not, it will not be my wallet to bare that kind of loss. With this, we really get to know who really are "The Big Software Companies" who treats market ( sellers and purchasers ) with respect and who doesnt! And that is what will matter in the fight against piracy. Not big campaigns of talk and more talk and saying how bad and criminal it is to use pirated software and/or hardware. Microsoft is selling awesome material at reasonable price, always keeping in mind what will please more their customers. Sony is trying to stick their ideas and products down our throats at the price they think is best for them. And they think we just have to shut the hell up and buy buy buy. Big news dear Sony, XBOX is no longer a worst choice when it comes to buy an entertaining and reliable console, so, many people will surrender to Microsoft's much more respectable market move and buy their product. Oh, and by the way, this is why Microsoft is the biggest soft/hardware maker in the whole world. Now all you Sony big heads be good boys and start using your brains instead of your wallets to think , ok? See you guys on the next console generation, cause this one belongs to Microsoft.
