Actually, all those games are on a hard drive that I can take with me (the once I bought after I took my stance any-way). I'm not sure in how far the PlayStation 3 titles are limited, but I could play them on a friends PlayStation 3 without internet. So that's, maybe, the only part you got me on.

Paranoia isn't rational, you know it, I know it, they know it, but still occurs. I hear your argument loud and clear, I understand them, I agree to them, but I am not paranoid of MicroSoft. Those who are, hopefully, just need time rather than rationality to come to their senses.

I don't actually own any boots... sorry, I lied!

There is a, perceived, difference in intention. It is crystal clear that only a single one of them came out with the intention to introduce limitations on ownership. So the perception of the one will pale in the shadow of the other. Rightfully so? Who's to say, but perception does influence whom you choose to trust,…

All hail the law. There is a reason you have to accept and agree to terms each time a system update is done on the PlayStation. To prevent you from suing them when you dislike an update.

Who? Indeed, but that is irrelevant. I think it is not so much the possibility as it is mistrust of the company, that is the direct cause of that fear. Disabling the possibility is simply the most efficient way of assuaging that fear.

The point isn't that it hasn't happened, but that it can happen (on a whim, no less). Which is a limitation physical media doesn't suffer from as easily or at all. That can make all the difference, but doesn't have to if you don't place value in your ownership to that extend.

That's actually most likely VAT, Administration cost and lastly import fees. The last is generally the smallest part, it's just that postal services are charging a lot for doing it for you.

Just to add to your point: there's also import fees (tax?), to consider. So, that coupled with shipping and tax is the majority of that price increase. Not to say that it isn't round upwards... because it is.

It comes in white!?!

Doubtful... and as if they needed to...

It'll be released in Europe... actually a week before the U.S. As is the case with quite a few Nintendo titles.

Do not be mistaken! It is clearly very difficult to write down the European date! The game comes out on the 26th month of the year, on its 7th day and in the year 2013. Only the year makes sense!

It isn't on the international Hori website so far, so I reckon it'll be a bit before you can purchase one. You could try Amazon.co.jp or horistore.com (Via hori.jp).

*Slap*

They didn't, but they showed the brush session twice. My understanding (though limited) of the describing text coupled with the context brought me to that conclusion.

Cringeworthy, I personally have no protectors on my mobile devices such as the PS Vita, iPhone, etc... and I manage to keep them in pristine condition, precisely by making sure any of this can't happen to them (Have other objects rub up against the screen). But looking at this does give me the, short, urge to consider…

That was a PS Vita without the protector, sure they succeeded there, but that was more or less the point.

Which is exactly what my comment was aimed at. I don't see the appeal (for me personally) in My Little Pony or Justin Bieber, yet I can understand that others do find it appealing for one reason or another.

Ah, well I am overjoyed that I can at least say that I'm not a twat, such as you are. Hopefully your vision evolves within a short time period to allow for, if not colour, at least shades of grey. As this simply black and white must be a dreadful sight to behold.
