And we thought the GT5 DLC controversy was bad!!! This is beyond stupid...

You really mean this is a worse move than what Sony does with GT5-DLC? Really?

Yes i mean it. They advertised the console being region free after the 180 so people from the 2nd tier countries could import the console. Now after the fact they're locking everyone out of the content they had paid for!!

That's theft in my, your and any definition.

 

Comparing theft with theft is a special way of judging which is worse. Still, this seems more like an error and let's wait how it will turn it eventually. Sony *will* definitely steal via GT5.
