Third world? I'm half filipino and have been to the Philippines many times - they are not THAT poor of a country. Believe it or not, people do have very good internet connection in the Philippines and almost everyone I know there has a PC and half-decent ones at that. Piracy is a problem in the Philippines, and I'm not saying it's right, but you would be surprised at what Pinoy people can do on their PCs.
Anyway, good they finally get a launch, even though they were the first country to have video proof that that PS3 slim actually existed.
