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
