honestly feel really bad for them. It's cruel and unusual punishment. No games? now, what did they do back then? Oh yeah, they beat the crap outof a wooden hoop, right? how primitive. I dont know what I woud do without a day of videogames. The last time I did that, I was seriously messed after the week I got back from scout camp. It actually wasen't that bad, just really boring. think of going through that every day!

Yeh, I am also at a complete loss as to why they would do that.

This is by far the dumbest law ever made by any country in history. If you want to bring a PSP, Ds, GBA or something to your trip if you ever indeed get bored you get fined! What is greece thinking. This is aagainst freedom of speech or play! lol.

Plus kids love video games and online play definatley gives them something to compete for after they do HW and all the other stuuf their parents force them to do.

I can see the portable ones being banned alittle but everything else, consoles, pc games and such, are horrible. I wonder iof they will ban flash internet games too.

Why dont you guys go aahead and ban ketchup because you dont likethe sounds of the squishy coming out.

Once the next greek leader comes into service this law will be revoked. As you can see whoever this leader is he obviously had a grudge on video games and has no knowledge whatso ever.


What about phonics on PS2!!!!!! Why ban that as well.

The ban was lifted ages ago. And it was there because the government couldn't tell the difference between general games and those used for online gambling (which were banned before then).

Nothing to do with grudges or what not... just plain and simple ignorance.

rofl, that is just simply the most pathetic law ever created though dexter said it was lifted.

Im going to be sure never to move to grece :\ Just incase they decide to have some for fun and go banning computers in general. If they did that, people definitly would leave.... And I wouldn't blame em

I have no idea why anyone would do that. Greece just lost about 3,000,000,000 coolness points in my book

And here I wanted to go there some random summer - not anymore. If they make me pay for my World of Warcraft, I'll bite them :|
