because we despise original suppliers

all those cheap CD / DVD are not up to the standard of Pirated ones, means pirated CD/DVD has more to offer than originals.

for example, after i bought the original Need forr speed most wanted, not long after its lauch, they come up with nedd for speed most wanted "black edition".... W T F !!!! if you gonna publish them, just publish them in one shot lah, why release 2 times ? you want me buy 2 copies ? no way !!!

IIRC, both Most Wanted editions came out at the same time, so I don't know where you got that from.

because i like ninjas more than the malaysia goverment

im poor and i prefer a quarter pounder large set @ mcd rather than just a 12 cm in diameter shiny plastic sheet..

If latest original game DVD is around RM40-50 ... then maybe i'll consider to buy original ...

Yeah, i not a pirated supporter but sometimes those "original" stuff make us feel like crap. Like the MS office 2007 for RM800 just a product key without any CD media inside. Comon lah MR Bill earn so many already still wanna save the cost of a single CD? Not 2 mention we bought it at RM800 for just a DVD box lookalike and some useless guide inside.

Edit: For Games, i hope the demo launch 1st b4 the games official launch so tat we can test the game b4 buy it. Not 2 say if possible reduce the price to RM50+, guess most of us will start move over to ORIGINAL

Firstly, it's because not everyone can afford to fork out RM100+ for an original game.

Also, it's hard to find a shop that sells originals...

I can attest to that since I had a problem finding out where to buy original games when I wanted to buy Battlefield 2 ! >_<

cheap price original dvd/cd game? where got?
i only play the sims 2, where got cheap original dvd/cd?
original one RM100+, chap lanun can get RM15 for dvd, better yet, can download via torrent also can get all la
why waste money for original?
lol

Medieval 2 Total War :RM145
Battlefield 2: RM107
Battlefield 2142: RM79

Total: RM309

And i'm planning to get STALKER and ET:QW next.

CnC3 Kane Edition: Free
NFS Carbon : Free

Two games FOC!

Of course i'd rather have it all cheap or free but i can't.

The satisfaction of fragging people online : Priceless !

this kind of topic been discussed dunno how many million times already. it is getting boring. and TS, u already stated the main reasons yourself.

...

i buy both, Original and Jack Sparrow's, but seriously...buying original i feel like, every penny we spent worth...errr...certain game - online BF2 series, not a single player game

ah, a never ending quest to rid piracy out of Malaysia.

From a consumer's stand point, it's undeniably affordable and with so many choices at low prices. you can play anything u want, but can you really play everything?

From a developer/publisher's point of view, these products must pay for salaries and of course, intellectually property. no matter how expensive it is, it's their right to charge whatever price they want. it was their property at the end.

so if u can't afford everything, just but what you want. not only do you enjoy the game more, you appreciate it more and remember it in the later years.

reviews exist to help consumers choose, so read more, go buy PC Gamer Malaysia!

like myself, i can't frigging remember what i bought and i finished, then don't appreciate what i played till i stopped and started being selective.

in Singapore, i saw this anti-piracy campaign slogan: piracy kills creativity. simply put: do you see any good Jackie Chan or Chow Sing Chi or Chow Yun Fatt movies anymore? NO! it's because they got tired of making movies that don't pay their salary.

remember, just buy what you want, you can't have everything in this world. choose what you want to play and you'll start enjoying your games more than before.

my comments to posts above:

just consider? then Malaysia has a long way to go in combating piracy.

remember, you're paying for what you use and not some silly box. do u use the box? or the software installed in your PC?

hmm, this has always been a mystery to me. there are a number of shops that sell originals, even them Low Yat shop has.

FYI, Mid Valley, One Utama, Summit USJ, Digital Mall, Sunway Pyramid and The Curve all carry original games now. maybe not all the games but they have originals there.

i will buy original game if the game has many ppl playing online
eg, bf2, cs
but one piece of game for rm100+ is too much for me as i 'm still a student and i need to save for months to get one

I hope they can lower the price to something like RM50-60 per game.

Trying to get original games to be RM50-80 is quite fair to ask for but unless we are able to curb piracy to a greater deal...... we have to stick to the RM100+ per original game........ one side has to make a move and its the consumer's side.........

One thing people have to learn about original games is to TREASURE IT....... make sure you REALLY WANT it and then PLAY it for ALL its worth...... because of how cheap the games are from piracy, we tend to take things for granted, how many of you have gone "This game sucks, but oh well, its only like RM5".......

Some people complain certain games have little people playing it online..... well what do you expect when people have little attention span on a game, since they don't have the incentive (which is the high amount paid for the game) to continue on....... incentive, like World of Warcraft, one of the reason why people keep playing it is cause they have PUMPED money in it, so if they don't play, they feel like they're wasting the money, so might as well SQUEEZE as much as I can from it.......

I bought my bf2 but i feel like the developer like EA jz wan to fish our money.
Instead of bringing finished products to consumers, they release something like beta version of the game. This is also one of the reason i don support ori.
Another example is stalker, luckily i din have original.. The game has many bugs inside that u cant believe although so much yrs of waiting.. they still release a buggy games..

Here's an interesting question. If piracy was wiped out totally, would the people that bought pirated games in the past revert to using originals? Or would they just give up playing games?

Dude,Stalker is not an easy game to make.This game have one of the most complex AI i have ever seen and it's not easy to make it work without bugs.

For me,i'll buy an ori game whenever i can,especially big games with mods like DC or C&C3.Planning to get C&C3 by mid of this year and DoW sequel(if theres any) at the end of the year.Maybe Hellgate in between if i got money left.

Save whenever you can,it's not that hard.Dont support piracy.Piracy kills games and you have to understand how much time a game developer put into a game,not matter how broken is it.

B..U..Y..?

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF THIS MYTHICAL WORD?????????
