Its only because of price that these companies loose out a considerable no.. of buyers. In India the population is more than 100 crore(around 1000 million!!), majority of them are youth. If the game companies reduce their prices here..how much do you think they are going to profit(I think that will make half of Bill Gates empire). I live in a remote town in the north east hills. We hardly get any original games here and even if they r available, they are way overpriced. What do you think will be the easiest way to get them?? If i go in the grey market i can easily get bunch of pirated games at 45$.Recently i went to buy RE5, it was around 4-5k INR (N/A, i had to order it if i needed). An average income of a middle class family is around 12-15k INR. Do you think they can afford it!! I am not talking about conscience..coz nobody gives it a dam when they hav to starve to play games. And its India where MS is still dumping the rejected xbox crap boxes from around the world(mostly Australia)..and even at double price!! what a joke..NO JASPER here yet!@# all we hav here are repaired FALCON ones. I think they are the the 95nm ones which had RROD probs.what do you people think we should do?? Piracy cant be stopped…until the prices for game dvd’ are low.

That alone will forever deter me; XBLA games, Netflix, and online play comprise roughly 60% of my Xbox usage. Publishers like SquareSoft are slowly imagining ways to combat piracy on the DS, and I am sure that a large amount of Nintendo's reasoning behind the upgradeable firmware on the DSi pertains to combating flashcarts. As far as the PSP, most games I see released for the system these days are cheap ports. Not that this in any way justifies piracy, but unless the PSP Go! manufactures gold doubloons I can't imagine a future where the platform can stay more than marginally relevant. Or unless Sony clones the iTunes store, apps and all. Sadly, Steam is the only somewhat effective deterrent to PC piracy. EA has enacted such draconian anti-piracy measures that they deter actual sales. Of course, there will never be a pirated copy played of one of the most popular and profitable games on the PC: World of Warcraft. It seems that the only effective deterrent to piracy is online play, or at least some sort of online functionality. According to exhaustive research on The Internet, 63% of America is currently connected online via broadband, and most of the U.K. is speedily surfing (with a "commitment" to hit the boondocks by 2012). Publishers aren't winning the war, but game pirates are fighting a losing battle against the most popular games, with even PC pirates rendered impotent by the brains behind Valve and Blizzard. I have hope. Movie and music piracy? That war was lost before the turn of the millenium.

You yourself are no different than Andy by promoting the illegal enterprise. When googling "pirated xbox 360 games" this page is the first hit. Followed by a myriad of links in detail explaining exactly how to do it. Can't complain about murder when you handing out bullets.
