yey!! Mohammed Drake 

There is an high chance that Uncharted 3 would be treasure hunting in the Middle east killing sand people so having an arab do it is fine since uncharted has no connections to any country or faction related to an country. But i dont care about this because we get the normal version and the arabs get the special version. 

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "sand people"?


oh lol just noticed that term too

anywho are there any shops that have the imported versions? Or maybe can you import the game?

Yes. For PS3, it's usually the PAL versions (though I do also see US versions), while for Xbox 360, I rarely see PAL copies, it's all NTSC imports.

And by the way, importing is not cheap, man. That's why I'm worried about this move. If shops stop bringing in imports, I will be pissed.

In my experience, most gamers in the Arab world are playing pirated PS2 games. Only the very rich can afford PS3s and non-pirated games, and most of them speak English anyway. Still, I'm sure a fair number of them would prefer to play games in Arabic.

I hear ya, but will there be a crowd who like the dubs? But then again I have RARELY seen dubbing done right, so it's a concern for sure

I lived in the middle east over 5 years, and out of my 200 plus game collection, only one game wasn't imported from the U.S This means absolutely nothing.

Next Uncharted based on Tatooine?  Or slang term for arabs, with slightly racist undertones.

Star Wars plus Uncharted = Does not compute.

But seriously, there's other ways to refer to Middle Eastern people. I mean, I've been living in the Middle East my entire life, but I've always been a city guy.

Drake's got a bit of Han Solo about him.

Yup, added to my previous post.  It's quite clearly derogatory.

Maybe, but from what I see, they're usually the younger audience.

I don't have an issue with the move itself. I just don't want these to be the only options available for us.
