Gamers might think that piracy is a gift from heaven but it is not only bad for the gaming industry, it is bad for the gamer him/herself also.

When i got my ps2 1.5 years ago. I buy games all the time. Here and there i will buy and buy. But in the end I never completed any of them. The only game i played most is FFXII, even that also I never finish. Spent over hundreds of hours playing it but in the end still left it there.

With so many choices around we tend to be greedy. All we want to play, all we want to have, but in the end how many games can we finish?

Game developers spent years and millions of dollars developing the game. Not only they did not get a single cent from game piracy, their efforts went down the drain coz we never appreciate the game. Some of the games i just open and see the FMVs then it goes back to the casing. Haha. I feel ashamed of what I've done.

Buying original games is different. With no choice around, u will stick to that game and try to finish it. The thought of you spending RM200 on that game will further motivate you to finish it.

So if you are a real gamer and you really feel that you want PS3, why not get it? At least u know it is something u like and you will really spend time and effort on it.

Today u buy xbox 360, tomorrow FFXIII released in PS3, then u will be thinking, I should've bought PS3 in the first place. In the end your mind will always be with PS3, in the end u will buy PS3 and then the X360 will collect dust.

I m speaking from experience. My PS2 is collecting dust now. I rarely even touch it nowadays. Wanted a PSP but got the NDSL instead. Now NDSL collecting dust coz i spend my time more with PSP.

Sigh it's a vicious cycle lah. To each it's own. Just make a decision that you won't regret.

Good luck in your purchase
