QUOTE(gundamalpha @ Jan 13 2010, 11:29 AM) OT: Just get the PS2 version, they screw up the controls on the Wii Noted. I already bought the PSP version, but the way the UMD mechanism sounded on my PSP3000, scary   (can hear the mech sliding back and forth across the UMD very often, like some routine designed to screw up the mech fast). Will go see if Amazon still has the PS2 version and engage vPost once I no longer pokai.This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: Jan 13 2010, 11:37 AM |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Jan 13 2010, 11:17 AM) Malaysian thinking.... it's not just Malaysian thinking.when student with 0 income - cannot afford, cos still student. buy pirated. use parents / PTPTN money. graduated, first job with 1.5k income - cannot afford. claim money not enough. subsequent jobs / promotions 3k to 8k income - cannot afford. claim game expensive. LOL. wth?!?! and often these people who say no money, buy pirated, happen to be the people who have decent car, have console, computer with decent gaming specs, nice handphone, or whatever else, so on so forth.  btw this debate went on before. one of the many threads http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=268218 is buying original dumb? NO - you want to play, you better pay. if the developers made a good game, you pay to play it. life is like that, you can't afford then don't feed the pirates, they're the ones hurting your beloved gaming industry. even westerners who pay close to a quarter of what we're paying, b**** and moan just as badly.(at times even worse than Malaysians) even at 50 bucks,they claim gaming is too expensive. |

QUOTE(burner @ Jan 13 2010, 11:18 AM) its dumb to buy RETAIL BOX games at RETAIL PRICES!... i buy steam games at 80% discount.. i got GTA 4 for 7 USD = RM30 .. i get all the updates, latest patches and stuff.. which is much better gaming experience then playing the pirated version which hangs and lags + no updates! Steam can buy PS3 games meh?  the thing is - new games come out, people don't need to play immediately mah. the problem is we all like to play immediately. if it doesn't involve multiplayer, a good game is good always. can play 2 years later at discount price also nmind. for PS3 games, just wait a few months la - people play finish they also will sell off. just have to wait for good deals. go make friends with console seller shops, ask them to inform you when got used game. why not? |

QUOTE(gundamalpha @ Jan 13 2010, 11:21 AM) Don't forget by the time you got your game every one else already finished the game. Technology is a race against time. I can just say "what for buy the latest PC when I can get a Pentium 2 for dirt cheap?" Actually its doesnt really matter as long the game is a good title.. and the discussion is about being dumb buying ori games right .. lolAdded on January 13, 2010, 11:46 amlolz ps3 if got FAKE U ALL SURE BUY ALREADY LA..

You sure? I have a Wii. It has fakes, but I prefer to only buy ori... It has modchips, but I choose to buy mine unmodded. Even going as far as to import it from the US to be doubly sure it's unmodded.

Well, no one is sure. anyone who already invest thousands in ori games will find it hard to revert back to their old habit, which is good. I was a pirate last gen (tons of cd folders at home), but since getting myself a unmodded 360 3 years ago, its kinnda hard for me to flip those dvd folders at most gameshop.
Gears of war = RM160 or Gears of War = RM12 |

 I can choose to play all these game at no cost at all, but I choose not to. Yes, I'm stupid.  People think it's ok to pirate because it's the easiest crime to commit without being caught unlike shoplifting. |

most important is to start...and of course, community support. For example if LYN don't exist, i think many here would still also say stuff like dumb etc

well, i know some of my friends use pirated games as a test bed .. if the games are nice.. they will purchase the original later. if the games suck.. then at least gotta try before we buy.

QUOTE(gundamalpha @ Jan 13 2010, 12:02 PM) Your SINGLE Golden Sun hurt my eyes I'm still looking for the first game, but too scared to buy from eBay.  You can also get extra limited edition stuffs that only comes with the original games. For example the soundtrack CD for my Knights in the Nightmare (I still haven't finish it lol), and I'm getting a limited edition Japanese game that comes with lots of goodies from Amazon.co.jp (no I'm not buying Love Plus xD). |
