See the stores I said, it's not them. Gerry Harvey led no doubt. That guy is an absolute idiot. David Jones and Myer are blaming online sales for their lagging sales. Couldn't it simply be because they are over priced, as well as Harvey Norman, I don't even know who soloman lew is. 

Woolworths and Westfarmers (to a larger extent) simply have changed their business models rather than bitching. Again if this gets passed people will simply boycott the stores involved and then vote out whoever changed the law that did it. Plain and simple. Every single customer I have spoken to has the same thoughts, not one agrees with what they are trying to do. 

They are trying to force people to buy australian stuff or stuff from australian stores. The issue is it is a Goods and Services Tax. David Jones etc dont do the business it is overseas, who does it. This is meant to be the 'lucky country' Gerry Harvey is an absolute douche.

And this is the issue I have where did I say that they did it for only PS3 Users, never once did I say that. Don't make things up. I said they paid them for the service. They most likely did this for the service as they knew MS wouldn't stop their current system. 

Hence Sony paid

Once again, I might actually give a toss if I cared about Portal at all. The first game is one of the most overhyped games I've played.

Well no shit. You said it, and dont even claim ignorance, with the intent of meaning people who bitch about MSFT timed exclusivity are being hypocritical for not being up in arms with this. Why in the world would Sony not have to pay for the rights to link their service to Steam? If a company launces something they usual pay for it. The difference is Sony didnt pay to keep other from NOT getting it,thus you dont see the bitching, you tried comparing it to two totally difference scenerios.

With the steam support on ps3 they have to port all the valve games to ps3 including but not limited to both counterstrikes and garrys mod.
