http://msn.com.com/2100-1103-956357.html The Greek government has banned all game consoles playstation, xbox, gamecube, game boy, computer games, even games on cell phones. Punishable with fines of 5,000-75,000 euros and or imprisonment of one to twelve months.
this is the most ridiculous law ive heard, and the punishment's are very harsh for something that is in no way criminal. even the minimum 5,000 euros that $4980, fine that is A LOT of money of a month in jail!!

Ah , so the gambling machine industry was the real target
But their lobbyists said "Whats the difference between our machines and a playstation then ? None !! So Are you gonna ban them too then ... EH ??!!"
And the government , not realising that in one case you lose money on bets, and in the other you don't , said "YES !!! WE BAN IT ALL !!!"
crazy Greeks. ! Then , we Brits can talk , its still legal here to kill a scotsman wearing a kilt on a Tuesday in Jersey if he's playing the bagpipes..
:D
