Some examples of how we've been screwed over:
-Censoring games: kind of explains it self, but if you want to see how bad it is you should check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ocu8JqD7EEk&translated=1
-Banning games: You remember that famous third-person cover based shooter for the xbox 360 which became a benchmarks for modern day graphics and gameplay? Well we haven't since it was banned from a german release.
-Releasing movies late: I can't listen to a single podcast without someone mentioning some hot new release in cinemas. After about 2 months they start talking about spoiler, well guess what, the movie hasn't been released here yet and it won't be released for another 4 moths.
-TV shows: Firefly for example was never shown in Germany. In the show scrubs we are still behind 2 seasons. But even worse than all of that is the time these shows air. Guess at what time How I Met Your Mother airs. No, really, take a second to think about it. If you guessed at 9 in the morning you are correct. Another example is scrubs, it airs at 10.45 pm.
Do you live in a country with similar problems? Your opinions?
Edit 1: I also didn't mention the price on games. 65 Euros for a new game? You know that equals about 100 US dollars? Who would pay that much for a new game?
