Miiiguel, you should reconsider, and start supporting the portuguese Eurogamer.
I am trying to fight the predictable sony overflow, you should do the same. Afterall, it's up to us to change the situation in pt, by showing to a vast majority of blind-loyalist sony userbase that there are alternatives, being the X360 one of them. You're not the only portuguese around here ( allthough you seem like it most of the times ) , and you're not the only non-sony lover in our country... |

While I can apreciate and in part understand your optimism I truly belive it is a lost cause. The brand Playstation here is pretty much engrained in the videogame culture, similar to Nintendo in the USA, I honestly don't believe any kind of Newsite can change that. I'd still rather visit the .net than the .pt seing as the later one suffers from the "washed out vanilla writing" desease that seems to plague 99% of the Portuguese enthusiast press.

@diefor: The problem is that I'm a Nintendo fan in Sony land. Not only do I have to put up with ignorant store clerks but also with the horrible Nintendo games distribution by Concentra. I end up reading news about european releases on Eurogamer.net and having to wait, sometimes over a month, for the games to reach the local stores. Most of the times I just "import" my games from uk/es/fr sites, otherwise I start feeling like I live in Morocco...

Pedro, I won't stop visiting Eurogamer.net, it will remain my number 1 gaming site.
I just think we should try harder in our homeland. I already started making some noise and pissing off some sony fanboys! Isn't life beautiful? |

:) Yes we have Internet. In my house i have cable 30MB.
Portugal have a great community gamer, almost portuguese have 1 Playstation in-house, but we also have portuguese with Xbox 360 and in the moment Wii and Wii Fit is sold out in almost portuguese stores. You now why portuguese are the best? Because ours games cost more than 60 euros (Xbox 360 games more than 70 euros), so we trade in community ours games. And Hypno, the best Quake IV gamer in the world are portuguese :)) |
