BF2.Only cause I wanted to play online. These days you have to choose between a tank of petrol or a game.
aha ... and its gona get worst..
i have a stack of "demo" games.. that i eventually bought when they've hit garage sales...
Considering the dwindling game budgets and the massive losses developers are suffering, I don't see why people still think it's smart to pirate games.
Sure, all it costs you is a blank DVD to rip the latest PC title from your mate, but is it any wonder then why the quality of games these days is so terrible?
IMHO: buy the game and we all benefit.
what happened to 30 day money back... ?
In some cases I agree, but paying almost R1k for a xbox game is insane and then there is this thread... I think it's the biggest reason why most of us play pirated games.

ALso, i think that if games were much cheaper people would not have a problem buying them, if Mp3's were R1 from itunes, how many original songs would you own?
I think that there greed has pushed alot of people to this point, what kid earns R500 a week to buy games, whereas most households have ADSL now and torrents are easier to find than well, games at good prices...
Just my 2 cents
Hell if companies don't bring down the costs of games then I guess it provokes us to climb deeper into piracy :P
