I actually prefer buying original games...more quality,means won't spoil easily but for pirated although it is cheap ,it onli can play for not more than 3-5 times...then totally cd can't run anymore.....
N original games u can easily get warranty n some technical support to solve the problem.............u can also go online for most of the games nowadays to play multiplayer (not for pirated because pirated can't play no cd key can't register)
As i know,most of the original games the box inside sure got 1 simple guide book for the user n sometimes even hav soundtracks cd for tat game onli....all these u can't find in buyin a pirated cd......

but 1 thing tat pissed off mi is everytime when i bought an original for a certain game,n few days ltr when u saw there r ppl who selling pirated cd for tat game....(realli heart-broken)....feel like buyin 1 piece of tat cd jus for breakin it
