We're third world! Games and consoles cost more than in the US, we get them later, and they think a couple of bonuses are enough! Not to mention the fact I've always thought it's very unfair to add bonuses later, after the first release. I mean, who are the people who bother to get the game when it comes out? Stupids? They pay more and get no bonuses. Also, why some countries get bonuses for one game while others don't? If games were playable worldwide, without the silly regions limitations, it would be ok, but if a game gets a special release in Europe, a US player won't be able to have it because he's not supposed to buy a PAL game. That's plain stupid. I hate marketing strategic moves like these. They are truly only a way of the companies to confuse and frustrate people
