Wonderful - PS3 is the official console of a tiny Island. Well, ok, it isnt THAT tiny, but compared to a certain island next to it, and everywhere else in the world of course...

Well done good sirs, This is how you deal with a situation!

No legal action with dancing zombies.
No firing over pay claims.
No Bribing reviewers into perfect 10 scores....wait what?


Anyway, Yeah well done New Zealand!

Two medium islands, and a whole lot of tiny islands. There's more than you'd think..

I don't know. Maybe Germany. Then, when they irritated me they would be speaking german and I wouldn't understand a thing they're saying.
OR!
We Take all the fan boys of Wii, 360, PC and PS3 put them on the battle royale Island and let the fight it out. And who ever wins... Gets shot on sight!

So no matter who wins, Society wins in the end... =')

The only way this fails is for not creating a third, even more amazing level of "win".

Oh dear. As a New Zealander, I don't want to be thought of as a PS3 user. I hate the damned thing because it's ruining my PC games. I bet this was all a big elaborate setup so Sony and TV3 could get publicity.

Also why did they give Sony a jar of Marmite? Marmite is foul, and why do they have to keep calling New Zealand Aotearoa. I hate that name It's so racist acting as if the Maoris are better than the caucasian New Zealanders. I'm not saying caucausians are better either, but the offical name for New Zealand is New Zealand. Use it.

Three large islands, and a group of small islands. Also it's not an island, it's a country. Would you class Japan as an island? We've got more land mass then them.

I guess this means that New Zealand has no games.

Seriously though, this is quite cool.

I'd hardly call Stuart island large...

Makes me proud to be a kiwi.... well, not the ripping off part, thats more Australian than NZ ;-P
Not really. Most NZ TV shows are ripoffs of popular American and British shows. New Zealand's Got Talent, New Zealand Idol, New Zealand's Next Top Model, The Singing Bee (ripoff of Don't Forget the Lyrics), Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old? (ripoff of Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?)

And yet, with our can-do spirit, one would think that Scrapheap Challenge would be the perfect show for us to do a version of. Alas, it is yet to happen.

On topic now, I feel kinda bad for not owning a PS3. Oh, well. I'll get over it.

Eaaaassyy mate, The best thing about Equality in this fair country of ours is the right to call New Zealand whatever we want! Personally I call it home and thats fine with me.
As for Marmite? Meh its Nice, good on toast (the trick is to use it sparingly and with butter, tastes great!) But again, equal rites, you can hate it, I can love it, And we can still go round to the same mates house for a Barby :)

(oh and as a PC user, Consoles have their market, we have ours. Both may have bad habits which they sometimes share (*cough* pay-for-DLC) but we can all get along. A set up by TV3 and Sony?....To get more NZers playing PS3....Huh, I wouldn't think a country of 4 million would be particularly important compared to saaay, any one major city in USA...)

Now see that is kind of cool to be endorsed by a country as the 'Official Game Console' but remember this is New Zealand that we are talking about, notable for the other two major things that people immediately think when they hear those words:
Moutains
and
Sheep.

So yes, wouldn't get too excited.

... What? I'm an Aussie, therefore I am more or less required by law to rag on the Kiwi's at least once or twice a year!

Okay seriously though, all jokes aside this does sound kind of cool.
