Brilliant interview, that's a job well done, guys.
Pertinent questions, good homework, and a good interviewee.

Thank you very much for the clarification.
Let's see what stores get to be retail partners then...

The url of the link suggests the team number is 57516.

Thank you!
Finally someone important getting to the bottom of this. I complain on the blog a lot about the pricing issues, both with retail (like getting Patapon at 40€ when it was 20$ on USA) as well as PSN vs retail (getting Monster Hunter Freedom Unite at 40€ when it's 18£ on amazon.co.uk).

Now, how can they expect me to buy games with those prices?
Really bad idea from someone who wants to "fight the piracy". I make an effort to buy every game I like, but I guess I'll have to play fewer PSP games now. I buy NEW PS3 games cheaper (amazon, shopto, you know what I'm talking about) than what they want me to pay for PSP PSN releases.

Long live English internet retailers, the only way to get games on Portugal :)

When you eat a cake and pay for it afterwards, are you stealing? I check the game, if it's playable, I'll buy it from England or whatever.

I do import them, read my comment. Not from US, because of customs (I'd pay more) ;)

"A game like Patapon shouldn't be pirated -- that only costs $20 at retail!"

A "game like Patapon" costs $20 in America, but costs 40€ in Portugal, do the math, it's $61.6677 according to xe.com, more than 3 times the price in the states. And yet I'm buying it along with God of War (from amazon, which has discounts *hint*). So pardon me if I download games to see if they're worth spending 3 times the money you do. $ < €, and yet our price reflects Sony thinks otherwise.
