Yup, they are getting cheaper. But that's still relative right.

The point is more that even though its "cheaper" has it become "more affordable" to the masses or just a select few?

i have come to realize that "those" people will JackSparrow to the end.

There was once I walked into this game shop called <NAME WITHHELD> at <LOCATION WITHHELD> and there was this kid looking at whether to kid a PSP or a DS.

the mom picked the PSP, her answer was

"boy you pick this one-ah can download all the games from internet-wan."

Moral of the story:








Don't get your mom to pick your console.

Can'ts say that I'm surprised thought.......Malaysia "everything pun boleh".

Just hope we can get out of this mindset sooner rather than later.

jactsparrow never did go away even in developed country like USA or any other country for that matter. is just that in malaysia is quite bad, but getting better. the awareness of ori is higher now more then ever. why? thanks to ps3, and to lesser extend, xbox360.

imo ya sure US torrent the most

but you also remember, US consumers BUYS the most games (second hand sales we not counting here ya).

Look at the monthly NPD numbers. Look at how many games are sold over there.

No wonder why any other market than US, all the publishers (all the major ones are in US anyways) just don't care about the world.
