Ah i remember the days of me being a piracy supporter...I remembered how I went down to the local gameshop and bought like 10 Xbox Titles and 10 PS2 titles and the cost combined would have been cheaper than one original game. The fact of the matter is that I grew up with games and just recently I adopted to buy only original games because of two reasons. One, I wanted to be part of the online community...guys who I play with...in fact 3 years on since I adopted my original gaming I still play with the same dudes. Second, I am afraid...I am afraid that my console would be rendered useless with an update from the manufacturer...and I know that I suck at software...I could not even install the crack. files for my PC games back in the day.

  A little bit of history...when the new Xbox 360 was released I wanted it...I must have 10 magazines each dedicated to the launch of the 360...one of which was Gameaxis...they showed a local retailer having the 360 already and detailed the configurations for the 360...I thought I had to have it and for my birthday I got what I wanted...The first game I played on that was Bejewelled which came standard on the Premium 360...and the second game was Call of Duty 2...which was to this day one of my favorite games ever. The point being is that during this time of having a real game...I felt for the first time the spirit of the videogamer...I always bought 10 fakes and not give too much love to them...now I keep all my originals in their boxes with their cool manuals intact. I am able to go on Xbox Live and play with people with the same mindset as I without the fear of being banned.

I also love the smell of when you open a brand new game...and the feeling that you get when you first move in the world...in my opinion, original games besides helping the industry grow and ensuring that you will not get banned...has more spirit...I never felt empty or shallow when purchasing an original game because I know that if I can take care of it...the games themselves would keep me entertained for years to come...

My opinion is my 360 is better than any other console out there because of my friends on my 360 list. The better line up, online interface or better graphics means nothing if you dont have solid people to play with online and of course the community.

So I agree, better buy the console that your friends play online with. Be it 360, ps3 or PC. I decided on the 360, coz the ps3 online community wasnt my cup of tea at the time.

Online is experience is where it is at. Sure SP has its moments. But to really get in to the community, thats the best route.

mungkin die xde mod firmware.kalu penah masuk ke xbox live dgn drive yg berlainan M$ mmg akan banned sbb die ta0 kite tkar drive.tp mmg ade care utk wt die xle detect kite tuka drive.

@Mods - May i suggest that we close this thread and delete the post above me please? This thread is meaningless at the start and may be going even further than just piracy talks.

PSN can have ingame chat, depending upon the developer coz Sony didn't make all features mandatory unlike MS

what I read bout Xbox Live is that when you cursed excessively, and somebody reported you, you can be ban hammered for good, while PSN never heard of these cases yet

Has it ever occurred to you that people people on live dont actually like excessive cursers? and that it is a proactive way of protecting the xbox live community.

LOL... i agree with the post above... +1k golden points for you sir. You should point the muzzle the other way before you pull the trigger...

Look at what happen to PS2. Piracy everywhere but still sell so good.. 
consumers have their right to choose to modded or nonmodded. Not to say legal but u just cant stop them much. In fact the rm10 games are the one that shops are earning now. They cant have much profit on ori games.

I dont think MS cares about one or two of u that are supporting the originals here in m'sia. probably less than 1% of their profit here in m'sia
