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.......

We WANT everything but NOT willing to give anything.........

Pls, go a little more easy on that person....... he/she/it didn't state that he/she/it got the pirated version of that game.......

On other note....... I tend to get original games, well cause....... I don't have a choice being where I am now, Australia......... there is the option of downloading through torrent but...... I just couldn't wait......

And contrary to popular belief....... original games in KL is cheaper than here...... I got my friend to get me the C&C3 Kane steelbook edition from TSB as the price is cheaper than a standard C&C3 edition here...... Nintendo DS games are cheaper to get in M'sia too and some titles couldn't be found here in AUS or has a later release, the thing is that the DS games bought in KL aren't supported by Nintendo I hear..........

No....... original games in Australia are actually more expansive than in the US when converted directly........

and yes, buying original games here in AUS is more expensive than buying it in M'sia but that's why I said in my previous post that buying original games in M'sia is not all that bad.........

Well, I can answer one of the above........

New PC games generally sells for AU$99.90 (RM279.72)....... same goes for PS2, Wii, Gamecube, Xbox........

Xbox360 games goes around AU$109 and PS3 goes around AU$118.......

However, sometimes new games starts off cheaper than usual, around the range of $10-$30...... these are sometimes when they're on a limited discount sale or the game didn't do very well overseas before coming in here.........

On a side note..... the C&C3 Kane Steelbook Edition is not available for purchase here, which is why I got my friend to get it for me in M'sia......

To compromise one section for the benefit of the other........ the thing we're stuck here is totally a moral call........

If you're spending everything you get from your salary within that month...... you need to rethink on how your finances go again ...... being penniless by the end of the month and not saving anything is........ BAADDDDDD.........
