Not sure what this forum has to do with the various endless conflicts in the middle east...
What really pisses me off is that neither Nintendo nor Microsoft export their consoles to Israel or Lebanon for that matter.
We either have to import it ourselves using web sites/friends/relatives or pay huge sums of money to charlatans which import it for a huge profit (does anybody want to pay 700$ for a WII or 900$ for a Xbox 360?)
And since Sony is practically a monopoly, they invent prices... like 1100$ for a PS3... or 95$ for most PS3 games.
The irony is that at least Microsoft officially sells here many peripherals, including Xbox 360 controllers for PC (which cost here less than their price in Europe). Microsoft also has two major dev centers in Israel and I've heard claims that Xbox 360's CPU was designed by IBM in Israel...
This annoyed the hell out of me when I had to fake it as an American to get my broken Xbox 360 repaired (RoD)...
