You know ever since the US release of the DC, we've seen all these releases
over in Japan,and 95% never make it over here for US release,you gotta
import the damn games from Japan,and then you either gotta have a japanese
DC,or a Modded DC,WELL,you know the old Cliche',what comes around goes
around, We got one of the best fighting games ever to grace any console in
DOA2 for the DC, released only in the USA, EAT IT JAPAN!!!! Who knows if it
will make it to Japan, actually I hope it does,they shouldn't be left out in
the cold with no DOA2 for the DC,even though if roles were reversed,they'ed
keep the damn thing for themself..We're not like that over here, we like to
share.. Of course,they'll have the unimpressive DOA2 for the PSX2, I've only
seen screen shots,and,well,the backgrounds are nice....

I guess they are laughing their asses off over there, dc doa2 suck big
@&!(not the game itself but the lack of 'consideration' for the home
version--the US home version). They ARE getting a superior version of DOA2
for ps2.
I guess you can just throw any bone here and we'll go for it. O, those
fucking japs. Im getting the all-american x-box fuck ps2!

You know I understand where your coming from and what your trying to say and
at some level I agree with your frustration on imports and lack there of the
ones that never make a North American debut, but hey you forgot something,
It's also in CANADA, the USA is NOT the only country to get it.

On another note, the game fans are not to blame, it's the companies that
make them and the stupid governments that make it so difficult to import
goods with all the red tape BS, we need more free trade and I mean FREE, not
like the one put in motion that divides our two countries, send email to the
government and complain why it's so bloody hard to get a friging continental
license agreement that allows for easier exchange of media in any form and
to stop living in the dark ages, the wars are over between our countries and
we want real freedom of information and media in any way shape or form it's
available and not taxed either.

Yeah, people forget about our Canadian friends, all tucked away down
there. Get rid of those god damned "culture preservation" French
bastards and we'll talk, eh?

This is NOT the answer. World-wide free-trade sounds like a great,
progressive kind of idea on the surface, but -if we can learn from
NAFTA- it actually stinks in practice. The reason is that we don't have
world-wide labor laws, or laws on product quality (fire safty, explosion
hazard, environmental polluntant, etc) or copyright laws or a million
other things that may make the playing field a little less than fair.
We'd end up with all menial labor jobs transferred overseas. This means
the death of the American-made car, especially for Japanese companies
with American plants, like Toyota. But when a car costs half as much to
make in Korea than it does in the US, I could see even GM and Ford
taking their plants elsewere. Textiles would all be made by 8 year olds
in some pacific-rim sweatshop. And copyrights would be unenforcable
(well, I suppose even bad ideas have a silver lining...).

This isn't just bad for those underpaid, poorly treated workers in other
countries, this is bad for all developed nations as their internaly-made
products of any type will be 10x more expensive than the imports. There
would no longer be a place in a first-world country for any type of
unskilled labor (other than service/retail or construction). Some of
this is already coming to pass, of course.

This is exactly the kind of thing that the WTO protests in Seattle were
all about. And don't tell me it was just a bunch of hooligans either. So
people couldn't get their Starbucks coffee for a couple days. Cry me a
river, people in sweatshops don't even get coffee, or enough food or
basic human rights.

I said media, like books, movies, tapes, CD's, games etc.

Can't have one without the other.

The free flow of information and media between countries has actually
been hurt quite a bit with DVD's region locking. They want to do the
same thing with DVD-Audio and I'm sure eventually we'll have the same
kind of thing on the net.

Though some companies want increased globalization, others want
increased comparmentalization and strict import/export control. It'll
all come down to who can buy the most senators, though. You have to love
government-sanctioned bribery..er.."lobbying".

Yes we do live in a screwed up world, that's why I play video games, so I
don't dwell on it, I would rather play a bad video game than have to deal
with the thought that Bill Gates could buy himself into the White House.

We live in shameless times and it doesn't look any brighter in the future,
how does that saying go....

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and the
strength to pound the crap out of those who make it so.

Nerraw

P.S. I just want to play good games, and have the choice to pick from
everything.
