I live in Moscow. Games here FOR PS3 cost about 80 bucks, thats an official retailer's price,since Russia is mistakenly considered by SCEE to be Europe, hence the 60 Euro price tag. Some of them , like Bioshock Infinite come out costing about 60 bucks from the get go, but mostly its ridiculous 80-90 dallaz for a normal jewel box or a download from the russian PSN store.

We do not have official/unofficial rental services. For me, Its literaly cheaper to buy a pre paid 50$ PSN card and get the game from the US psn store. That is what makes my life easier in this shithole of a country.

My PC is archaic, no intention of upgrading it. I never had an Xbox, never even touched the controller even though this console is jailbroken and disks are dirt cheap over here. The reason for that is because i bought a ps3 ,there was no need for another console. even though practically every multiplatform console game runs better on the Xbox360, as i eventually found out. Oh, well

Soooo if Sony also implements the new hot sexy DRM policy, then im fucked either way. I will have to be ninja accurate with what i buy now, since i wont be able to trade in anyware, nor resell it ( there is no inclination, that such services will appear in this cesspool in the foreseeable future). No more dicking around with rental-quality vidya gamezz like Army of Two, new CODs every year(unless they make drastic changes) , Prototypes of the world, red factions, hitmans, fuses and bad techland dead islands and more- all those "OK'ish but not worth having in your sick-ass collection" vidya gamezz will have to go.

Its HITS and MASTERPIECES only for me the moment i get my hands on a ps4 ( that is, of course, if they HAVE that fucking DRM). Gotta say, though, that , hopefully, those mediocre games will be free for a PS PLUS users from time to time.

Reasons why i am not going to buy Xbox One : I fear , like all of us, that Kinect is going to watch me masturbate AND i do not watch TV at all. Just those two reasons. Nothing else.

(Although paying for Xbox Live is not appealing also, but maybe they make it free for Xbox One)

Exclusives-shmeclusives don't play any significant role here, since Wolfenstein The New Order comes out on PS 4 as well, and that game was created by the same geniuses that made my favourite game of this generation - The Darkness. And nothing else matters.

Ok

Im off to fetch my second RLOD'ed slim ps3 from a repair shop.

Icemo, dude, its TOTALLY ok, i dont feel insulted at all, just wanted to clear some things out, you know? Cos a thread starts with " i want to buy fur, where in Moscow can i buy it" and immediately after that we have posts that have nothing to do with the subject matter. I know, its called internet and thats how it is and always will be, but a little common sense wont hurt sometimes, right. Im sorry if i "sounded" angry, im completely relaxed and rational when i wrote those horrible, horrible truthful things about my country. Its just that , as i have said before, i hate It here and have no pity for it whatsoever, the feeling is mutual, but, again, this has nothing to do with buying furs)) I will gladly recommend the shops the author of this thread should go to, if he or she so desires even after all the "holy mother of god, stay away from the highways and dont eat food there" posts)) Zagzagovich, howdy, man, glad to know there is another russian giantbomb fan on this forum. I have to disagree with you, though. THIS IS how world thinks of us, and rightfully so, we deserve all this and much more. Its not THAT bad of course, no killing on the streets or frozen bodies lying by the dozen in the open, but to an average joe this is what it is -a shithole in comparison to the US. Europeans are of a slightly different , more positive opinion, germany at least, eastern europe hates us for the soviet history, but thats all because Europe is our closest neighbour and we give em gas and oil and they hear of us more often. In the news. I have no idea what propaganda is saying about Russia in the US, none whatsoever, just like most americans are in the dark about what happens here. Im just wondering why you didnt post a reply in this thread to vindicate your country a little bit, aren't you tired of all this "vodka, bears, balalaikas, perestroika, and, now, crazy highways " archaic condescending "maxim"? I mean, imagine a situation, when someone asks me what places he should visit in the US , and i tell him that he should stay clear of movie theaters bcos he might get blasted away by a nutjob with state of the art assault rifle which he had bought in Best Buy? Thats obscene and obtuse and just plain bullshit, right? But, on the other hand, extrapolating from what was said in this very thread -a totally logical conclusion. So, again, im sorry for going way off-topic on this one, i dont want to offend anyone, i have utter respect for each and every user on this site. Just wanted to say something original on the matter of "in soviet russia" and how things are at the moment over here. Oh, and с наступающим to you too, Zag

Ok, guys, feels kinds awkward reading all this ridiculous "trivia" about the country i was born , raised and ,unfortunately, still live in (not a patriot, no). Now, ill start with Icemo and the "watch out for russian highways" post. Dude, relax. Watched that video, yeap, that sure is shocking. Dont know where it happened , might be in Moscow, yes, but this is one video, shit like that happens all around this cruel cold unfair world. Im 26 years old and i've been driving for ,what, 5 years now and, knock on wood, never have i witnessed crap like that. It just DOESNT HAPPEN here on regular basis, nobody is afraid of driving here, in MOSCOW, guys, c'mon, this IS the capital of Russia after all. Sure, if you wanna do a cross-country joyride through Russia on a good expensive car - you might wanna have a gun or at the very least a video register, cos some really bad people might( again, MIGHT,just MIGHT) wanna rob you,, plus the Road Patrol Service in Russia is corrupt ALL around, everybody knows that you can bribe your way out of a traffic ticket, and i mean EVERYONE, its common knowledge here, and these guys are even more corrupt in the province. No point in scaring Aliantha with bike videos either- Aliantha is going to visit Moscow in Winter, its minus 10 Celsius in here, ice on the roads, so no bikes.. The only real most annoying problem on the roads here at the moment is traffic jams..All-day throughout, everybody is using Subway here. I cant, though, had been using it since i was 8 and have had enough of it, especially now, looking at all those depressed amorphous hopeless faces of people will suck any energy right out of you. Next topic - Food. Again, Penguin, dude, relax, Moscow is THE capital of Russia, you would think that the government would want to make it as advanced as possible,right?Spend all the money on building stuff here of all the places? So that is how it is, we have all cuisines, Chinese, burger king, luxurious italian restaurants, i dont even have to tell you that really. All the top end boutiques, all the brands, i mean BLING is everything in here, unfortunately. Fuckin Porsche Cayennes pimped to the brim driving around, shitload of Bentlies, got some american GTR cars, i mean, again, its a mess, "its Moscow" , basically, nuff said. The void between the Rich and everybody else is huge and ever-growing, we basically dont have middle class in here, its , using simple language,The filthy rich driving Cayennes and everybody else driving japanese and european middle tier cars. I drive honda accord 2012, cos its the only car i like. But that Bling stuff, that desperate NEED to boast is just so annoying and infantile, people dont know how to show that they are rich so they do stupid shit like pay big money for 007, 555 license plates, try to be total dicks on the road. Oh, man, dont get me started. Anyway, as you have probably noticed - i dont like the country i live in. The bureaucracy and corruption will never be dealt with considering the policy of our government had taken and our joke/puppet of a president. We dont produce anything, we only sell oil, thats it. I would gladly migrate to northern europe , or Australia, heard they have best life conditions in there. plus the expansion of chinese will inevitably change the world order and our army sux ass , wont be able to return the fight and all the political elite will definitely bail ship. Sooooooo. furs. Right. You want to buy furs in moscow. Whats the budget, how much are you willing to spend? Cos i mean there are a lot of places to buy fur in here, of different quality. And , no, we dont buy fur from Finland, Turkey is the place to go for cheap quality fur that you americans enjoy over there. Sorry for the mistakes,if there arecany, typed this Magnum Opus on my ipad, had to hurry home before the curfew starts. yeap, i alredy hear the alarm : bears playing there balalaikas, gotta go!!!! (-sigh-)
