Discrimination is a very VERY strong word for what is going on here. Sony didn't release the HDD for PS2. Ooh its regional discrimination. Final Fantasy XIII was released a few months later in the west, OOH its regional discrimination. This is why people are calling you 'butt hurt' (although I hate that term); because you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

You are right, there are lots of JP PS2 players so it would be unfair to drop PS2 support and ask them to upgrade. In the West hardly anyone plays on PS2. A lot of those who do only do so on PS3. And here's the important thing. You can still play this game on your PS2/3 just not the new expansion. Its unreasonable to ask SE to release this expansion on another platform just for you and a couple of your friends who like to dual box. I think you are all underestimating how much that costs.
