Jesus tap dancing CHRIST!


to each his own...for God's sake, to each his own

this topic isn't even flameworthy honestly. just fanboyism taken to another pointless fanboyism level.


U say bad year for xbox? Fine, I'll go play GOW2 or <insert nice xbox game>

U say bad year for ps3? Fine, I'll go play Resistance 2 or <insert nice ps3 game>



see the pattern? never-ending right?

It's not even worth fighting anymore ler.

Countless "Whic betta? Ps3 or xbox?" threads are around to the point it's not even disgusting anymore. I just accept the fact that fanboyism is a disease and we must be pitiful to those who have it.

take for example the worst victim of fanboyism, lightning69.

Pity him lar. Obviously suffering for a long time edi. Last time I flame him, but now I think better I sympathize him.


That goes for all of you out there:

To those who are lucky enough to be immune to fanboyism, lend a helping hand to those who are not.

the company dont even pay u fanboyans !! and they didnt know u existed !

so what? ms still hates malaysian xboxer. region lock b****es!

i hope XBL card price will go down..

man its too mahal..

woa, i'm feelin the love here already
.
"especially in the US where most ppl are not that IT savvy?" WTF?

but surely, you can't deny that being able to run 'backup' games does contribute towards better sales.
too bad they never post up statistics on the most downloaded/torrented/rapidshared games.
but once they break bluray's encrytions, then we'll talk. but for now i stand my ground.
and put out that flame will ya?

Get the 12+1 card (or codes), its much more cheaper, really it does. Last year i got my 13 month for only RM140+

it is already broken...
i know some blueray videos being copied to DVD-9 lol...
jz that piracy for blueray will never happen due to the cost of a blueray disc...
it will stay that for a long time till blueray is finally able to rival DVDs...

still ur reasoning on piracy helping sales wont really matter overseas...
they are really strict overseas especially US...
unless of course you are: -



as for XBL...
i think the price is pretty standard since its US-based...
is it cheaper buying it on9 with credit card?

pirated blueray do exist in msia in the form of DVD-9!
my fren saw them selling it in ipoh lol...
(yes its in HD as well)

thanks for the enlightenment guys. but the dvd-9 version still don't match up to those ori bluray ones.
but it still kills me to see, what if there's 'ahem' blurays games.

its only possible for movies (1 hour)...
my fren tested it and a one hour show is 9gig!!!

so piracy in blueray media is pretty much impossible for large content...
u are rite on that ^^

Erm piracy in the US is easy. The only difference is that games aren't openly sold, so you have to download or whatever.

The only reason piracy is less rampant there is because of economics. A single 8-hour shift at McD's and you can already buy 1-2 new games, if the ratio for game prices here in MY is similar, we'd have a hugely low piracy rate too.

[edit] not to mention game rentals ... when I was there I had a gamefly account, can't remember the price anymore but it was ~$20 a month for unlimited 2-games-at-a-time rentals. What's the point in pirating when playing original is already so cheap? But now back in MY ... zomg, 160bucks per game? That's almost 2 days of a starting salary for a degree-holder ...

I've seen dvd-9 pirated discs at a shop near my house. I don't think it's real HD, probably a rip of some sort (lower bitrate for the video or audio or both). I mean, quick google shows that blu-ray pirates of the caribbean is 46gb ... if you full copy to dvd-9 also need 5 discs, hehe.

actually, pirated bluray movies do exist (in the form of 25gb single-layer discs). but the prices are so ridiculously high

Yes, pirated blue-ray do exist. There are even shops who is doing the downloading for blue-ray for a certain fees.

well what we are seeing now is the repeat of previous thing.
before this we have dvd rip sold to vcds.
now blu ray rip sold on dvds.

trust me, by the time dual layer rewritable blu ray media hits 40 ringgit, pirated PS3 games will be rampant.
at the current price of 90 ringgit it's not feasible yet to pirate the damn thing.

the technology is there. just the media is too expensive.

LOL the movie have finished? and i just got here...

by the time dual layer rewritable blu ray media become affordable and pirated ps3 games exists, can we label all ps3 owners as playing "ahems" games?

don't quote me if want to give serious answer. i'm too old to have a debate.

need to see can the ps3 be modded yet?
