@philnolan3d Ahhh so you are real & not some machine. Your comment looks too much like a marketing gimmick...simply put, people do not like when the comments sections is used for marketing purposes.
@Ziberg I know he's the owner of the Nets but when his was growing up, his team was the Knicks & it was the first team he was attempting to get ownership of. He's still a fan of both teams.
I've been to 5 E3 conventions so far & I wouldn't mind if it went to another city...simply to change things scenario-wise. I reckon another country like France, England, Australia or Canada would be nice. LA is still good don't get me wrong but if you are like me & go year-in, year-out, you would like to see gamers & different gaming atmospheres from other parts of the world.
@Andrak_Vol Yes, I'm know Tasmania is part of Australia. Australians - especially stand-up comedians - like to poke fun at Tasmania because it's a cold, damp & boring place, & because it's separated we joke around that it's not really part of Australia. However I didn't know that thing about New Zealand...if they did join us, imagine how good our sporting teams would be AND we'd get the All Blacks!
@c0kemusheen Get your head out of your ass! I state my disgust which is aimed at the ignorance many Americans have of the world surrounding them. Don't use the word 'xeno'phobic'...my comments were not of a hatred nature; I was simply stating a point. Americans are by far the most xeno'phobic with your KKK, white supremacy groups & general hatred towards foreigners & your own African American people, which the rest of the world is clearly aware of. You are the capital nation of xeno'phboia.
@Shad0wst3p I think the rest of the world thinks you're part of Australia...hahaha! You & Tasmania can have a fight-off to see who gets to become part of Australia.
@gsmull No. Let's say for e.g. a game from Japan is shipped to Australia and the USA. Trade tariffs and trade agreements put Australia and the USA on equal footing in terms of the price that is paid by the retailer in obtaining that game. However, it's where the retailer offloads that game to us (consumers) that has the government concerned. As an economic/business analyst, I'd say it's due to the lack of electronic goods stores. As long as these small number of stores keep the status quo - i.e. keep the prices at a certain amount - they won't have to worry about competing for our dollar. In the US, there's approximately 60-70 different stores, all competing with each other. In Australia, it's probably a single digit number.
