Please... no really, please tell me this is a wind up?
Is greece part of the EU? Can't they get pulled up for this?

No, it's real. And this is already posted elsewhere in the forum :)

I don't see anything funny at all about this... You'd live there, you wouldn't laught.

When are the next elections in Greece? The stupid party in control deserves to lose every seat.
-
Are they nuts??!!! Greece is going to be one hell of a boring place. I'm not ever going there.
What a stupid ruling. Brainless government!

Actually, if they did this in the UK and followed it up with lots of free sports programmes and new sports grounds, I'd probably welocme it.

well i dont own a game boy, but if i did i'm sure i'd rather have free sports.
Actually, the games on my phone are about as good as a gameboy... maybee not in colour.
-
I spent something like 130 quid overall on a gameboy a few years back, but I can honestly say I'd rather have played the equivalent value of 5-a-sides games down the Pitz.
-
I have a Game Boy Advance :), you could stand on the border(on the other side of course!) playing one.
-
Nah, we'd just set up the Isle of Stornoway as a gaming haven ;)

I doubt it'll last, its not exactly a voter friendly policy.

How many gamers are old enough to vote, anyway? Besides which, it's mainly old fowk that care enough to vote, and they hate all the stuff new-fangled young 'uns do.

Oi, can we all stop it with the Gameboy bashing please? You know, in the land of the rising sun the GBA is selling second only to the PS2, which for the less observent among us means it's outselling the XBox and my beloved Gamecube (though of course GC is outselling XBox: :ha: )
I supose we do all know that the Gameboy, in its various guises, is the most sucessful console ever. And not just hand held console, I mean most sucessful console. Oh yes.

i rmemeber i first bought my gameboy color (yellow) and pokemon blue. I played that game for hours...... Then i got Zelda :D

No, and where is the meaning of going on vacations to do something you can do at your home?
-
I still don't understand how they expect to enforce this law without employing an SS-like police force. How are they going to know what every person is doing inside his home?
I hate vacations in the first place. :D (leisure for me is doing math problems, playing computer games and building lego stuff all day)

Snakeseyes: Which party is this? I heard the communist party is very big in greece which has either been ruthlessly for or against these daft laws.

hell yeah, let's trash fs2, renegade, halflife, warcraft3, etc etc, just coz you're a greedy bum :p

Maybe they sniff too much volcanic ash as children (the govt)... If some one buys a computer in greece and takes it home they are in violation cause of the lame games that come with windows... Can Microsoft sue Greece??? (I'd actually LOVE to see this for once, let's sick Bill Gates on em... Better have him BUY GREECE so he can get rid of them!) :lol: :lol: :lol:
Seriously don't they understand how Forked up this makes them and Greece look to the rest of the world? Guess they will never host another Olympics again HUH??? Fie on them I say FIE!!!
BTW: I am part Greek (like quarter, my grand parents were full Greek and one full Italian)... Now I know where my stupidity comes from
(spits at Govt building)... :drevil:

Of course he can't sue the country, or the governement. Its like a drug seller suing a country because its illegal to sell his drugs.
Of course, games don't kill people like drugs, the only similarity between the two is that they are both illegal, at least in my country.
Guess they will never host another Olympics again HUH??? Fie on them I say FIE!!!
Well, considering that the Olympic games were born in greece, we shouldn't let another country host them again.

No, you have to look elsewhere, except if you have a relative inside the greek governement.

It didn't last long, the law is already cancelled because it is unconstitutional.
But it lasted long enough to stop the quallifications for the Oslo CPL.
