"On the back of 4.1 million Playstation Move units sold, Sony Computer Entertainment Ireland has announced that they are readying Irish retailers for the high holiday demand expected for their motion controller. Sony are flying in additional stock to make sure everyone who wants a Move will get one for Christmas."

Ireland are in financial turmoil worse than the usa just got a 65 billion bailout from the eu so disposable income will be shot they will be lucky to afford a potato people are living way beyond their means everyone cant sustain a high standard of living something has to give good luck in ireland sony .

Yeah, considering Ireland's has a trade surplus of 3.2bn per annum (Ireland exports are 20% higher than imports, actually there has been a rise of 12.5% of Irish exports in the past 6 months alone).

And some small electronic, pharmaceutical & aviation MNC's in which you might have heard of have based their European HQs in Ireland maybe Microsoft,Ebay,Intel,Bayer, Boston Scientific,PayPal,Facebook, Ryanair.... ring a bell?

If Ireland is as badly affected as you state, then the gaming industry as a whole is going to be severely affected.
The biggest gaming publishers in the world (Activision and EA to name a few) have got bases in Ireland.
Did you ever hear of little homegrown Irish company called Havok???
And Microsoft has pumped millions of euro into game designer & computer programming courses in the countries top universities. Ireland is still the European hub of electronics.

It's funny you mention potatoes, Ireland has had a massive surplus of potato crop, and the country actually exports hundreds of thousands tonnes every year....

The ironic thing is that the 'potato people' probably had something to do with the development & manufacturing of your laptop/computer/phone/console/ video games.

Not bad for a country with population half the size of that of London.

Brilliant post, fella. Well said. Half the twats out there particularly in the States (no offense to any Yanks here, but you lot are a bit uneducated about the rest of the world)still think we all just live on spuds and live in little thatched houses and drink day and night, when the reality of it is, that we were one of the most economically developed countries in the western world, that was until our politicians seriously bent us over and gave us a fisting. They should all be shot for treason.

Hear hear *applause*

[maverick40]

I'm irish too

[Darth Stewie]

Me 2 but I am not from Ireland.

[Big_Dom]

You're Irish but you're not from Ireland? That's an Irish one if I ever heard one. If you ain't Irish, you aren't getting that joke.

advice to anyone considering the move try out the following games please sports champions, resident evil 5, tumble, heavy rain, eyepet, the fight, time crisis
also move is really really good i know you will all love it if your hardcore just beware on shooters with move you actually have to make an effort to learn, because move is uber precise, but once you get used to it you will own everyone else, my friend found that out in mag at first he was worse but he adjusted his settings and practised until he got good with move, now he own other ppl:-)
