The price is letting most people down, most of you guys (students) have their rig been sponsored by their parents. Some of us here is not, and limited funds, especially who don' have MARA, PTPTN and such

I only have 1 original game, and that is because my cousin gives me. All others are pirates (around 30 games in all). Its not like I'm supporting those pirates, but its just not a necessary thing for me, and far too expensive. Toll, fuel, eat, and my PC is fully depends RM100 per week (not including semester break, where I don't given any money), and I travel about 80km per day, and that purely from college to home.

I need to keep some money for emergency too, just in case for rainy days

Yes, of course. Gaming is one of the major reason I use PC

There are open source equivalent. I found i never had to resort to pirated photoshop. And even office
You are in luck. The trend now is going towards free to play persistent world games. Good for cheapskates tongue.gif And its perfectly legal too. Check out Battlefield Heroes and Mythos when they are done that is...both look really good. I'm afraid if you buy pirate you still support them even if your conscience says otherwise. Try to look for free indie games lah....suppor the guys who worked really hard to make great games...

Not all games is suitable for me because I'm very picky about my games. There are some games that I will buy the original, like CnC series

One thing is, I only buy original audio CD for now

Audio CDs,i will never buy them.Rather just buy a digital version or get them from P2P networks.Dont want to go through the process of converting them to MP3s.Besides,what i usually listen is independent music.You cant get most of them from a music store.

Unless it's Explosion in the Sky...

Talking about not supporting pirates rolleyes.gif .I'm looking for absolute best quality. All those mp3 is destroying the quality. But not all mp3 is bad, as long as its more than 200kbps or V2/V0 and 320kbps mp3's. But the download one is full of defects even at high bitrate, like hissing, skipping etc. I prefer to buy the CD, and rip it accurately myself. But my music taste is different so the CD is quite expensive in the first place (needs to buy from Amazon), but I rather buy audio CD than games

Anyway I'm out of topic here.... sweat.gif

99% of my games are pirate, gotta be honest here. Only have 2 original game, Close Combat: First To Fight (gift from cousin) and Colin McRae: DiRT (I know it won't suck, I love McRae Rally series and bought it at just RM49)
