Well since, to difference with me, you don't live in Serbia, I should know it better. :wink: Having on mind that I speak about my country, I also have no motive to dirten them more than needed. :twisted: Bank accounts are available (and required) only for those who have a working place, but not even they are available to buy the things from the internet like it is available in Croatia or Slovenia. To do that, they have to open another sort of account that is being chilly billed and is available only if you have monthly income greater than some considerable sum of money (my parents together can't put that much, I remember my mum saying it. And we ain't that poor - yet).

I guess there are possibilities of transferring the money via Western Union Bank services (who are also taking fat provisions btw) and whatever. But it is BS in comparison to comfortably sitting in your chair and clicking the left mouse button, having it next days on your doors (or in the local post), and not even feeling the sum of the money they take you for that - the thing available to every 18+ prick in US and UK at least. Add the insecurity of the packages to that and you'll get the picture: that's it, God bless pirates.

At least, now I understand why Satis yelled "I see you use u-Torrent!" once I hanged a desktop sreenshot. I couldn't realize why the hell is that important, since everybody is using it. :P Well, everybody here.

It was the same in the CR, even if the standard of living is still higher there than in Serbia (afaik). Food and any other kind of "necessary" project was in proportion with the wages there (which were about 2.5 times less than I can make here in Belgium), but electronics and games in particular still cost as much there as they would in Belgium or most Western countries. It didn't make much sense. :(

There were some games stores but they were all small and most lived on the sales of budget classics and/or games with local footing (like the Witcher which is a Polish game). New games were downloaded, because no youth could realistically afford them.

In comparison: for someone living on a Czech wage, a new PC game would cost the equivalent of 125 euros on a Belgian wage. Of course nobody is going to pay that kind of money for games, unless you're a rich man. :)

Gfree, just wondering: do you live close to Cerna Hora? Or are you from Belehrad?

I am living in the capital of Serbia. :) And yes, I consider Crna Gora for a territory where people and language have Serbian heritage. :) Moreover, the Montenegrin language still doesn't have its own ISO symbol. It's being counted as Serbian. :) Since everybody is working on removing Serbs and everything Serbian from the history, I expect they will get it soon.
