hehe i live in singapore actually. its pretty tough to get games form the shops nowadays but if u were to head over to malaysia which is just a causeway away, you can get a pirated game for only RM$4 which is about US$1

I live in malaysia

And i happen to be Johorean (Singapore is right below us). Matter of fact, before i moved to the capital, I could see Singapore from my bedroom window

.

Yeah silvers are really cheap, unless you're a foreigner (particularly caucasian). Coming from an international school, i know

. I've had to "escort" my friends when buying games countless times lol.

Mr Lau said: 'I would rather buy originals. I had problems with fake PC games, so I don't believe in piracy.'

People have broblems with ORIGINAL PC games, so i think Mr Lau's point is useless?!?!?!?

And what are they talking about pirate game freezing mid-game? I never had those problems. Unless the copy is poorly made

" Said Zi Hao: 'I don't like the hassle of bringing my Xbox in for modification and have someone unauthorised open my console.'

Yeah right! What else would you expect these guys to say... "I'm a software Pirate, please come arrest me?"

All DVD HK silvers I get at $1.60 per piece. Price goes up by 4x for DVD9's though

. (CD games are a few cents lower)
noswap installations at $21
with chip $85. (Same day pick up too :P)
originals are more expensive here though unless it's old (then you get them at Sony Wings, where it's cheaper :P).

I must stress that this is the price _i_ pay though

or taken down by their government. Free speech isn't so free over there. They once arrested this guy from their public speaking box in one of their parks.

. Being Johorean (the state just above Singapore) we tend to take swipes at singapore whenever we can 'cause they crowd our state during the weekends, are bad drivers (they hod the entire road and expect you NOT to be the least bit angry about it, and that's the better part of their bad driving), drive land prices, grocery prices, ALL prices up like hell

.

ThAD0oD · #19 02-12-2003, 11:41 PM
