» Hmmm
This may actually help MS overall....as they are no longer losing money on the 360.
So, "asians" may choose 360 over PS3 just for the fact that they can pirate their games....MS still wins as it gets higher sales numbers, and still makes SOME money....then they can hope that they still buy some XBLA games n such....

I agree. Most Asian countries (with the exception of Japan) are heavy in piracy. You can't force someone who doesn't want to purchase software to buy it. They just wont pay. They'll just stick to with their hacked PS2 or Xbox 1.
Downloadable content is a great source of revenue for publishers and when reasonable priced no one has a problem with buying it. This is still a very well protected area on all platforms.
Also, considering the 360 has the highest game and add-on attach rate of any console this stage in it's life cycle I don't think piracy is having a major impact on the platform.
The PS3 is lucky it hasn't been hacked yet. Sony is losing big money on each console and they need to keep the security as tight as possible until it's returning a profit on each unit like the Wii and 360 is.

$ony is f*cked if their security would be cracked! At least MS makes a little on each console sold, but piracy still definately isn't helping them! It's just pissing off the developers and MS loses business. This might be an issue, but since the POS3 is doing so terribly it's not much of a threat.

Its the 360 stooges. You guys need to do something productive instead of bashing the ps3. If you dont like it fine, but people worked hard to create that and it is a good piece of hardware. The ps3 is hardly doing terribly. Ps2 started similarly and ended up crushing everything and continues to do so. Besides 360 had a weaker launch. Im not knocking the 360 or wii, but cut the ps3 and its owners some slack. We are all united in the fact that we are all gamers.

» You folks are kinda scary with your logic
Microsoft LOSES money on hardware sales. Do you guys read at all? That's why they're going crazy trying to keep up with piracy. Their main source of income is licensing fees from games and Xbox Live. Take those away and they're doing this for free.
So it's not a boon to the 360 to be pirated, it's a boon when folks actually buy games and play on Live.
It's not brain surgery!

piracy actually improves the sales of consoles.. let's say piracy is available on the PS3, retailers will be able to have copies of every game on the bluray discs.. then we consumers will be tempted to buy a PS3, so we can play those cheap games.. PS3 and blu ray sales will go up once it happens.. and yup, sony will win... well.. i'm saying in the case of sony, if this happens to the 360 too, who knows man.. ppl will just buy the console that has the games that they want... and whoever wins, who cares.. coz we'll be playing the games and having fun.. haha.. well.. it's all IMO.. i could be wrong..

this news is troubling!
yes modded xbox 360, wii and ps2 run rampant on philippines but they are NOT made in there, ALL UNITS COMES FROM CHINA, HONG KONG, some from taiwan + south korea. or if ever they are modded in the philippines the MODCHIPS are manufactured from the CHINA and such. even the technology to mod it comes from CHINA etc. btw the ps1 and ps2 succeded in asian because of modchip its the truth. GC and original XB could also have succeded but the PS2 has more Titles. yes the xbox 360 may rule philippine console sccene for now due to its rich library but if the ps3 becomes modded philippine people still love sony playstation brand.

» Proud to be...
I live in the Philippines and proud to be a filipino. ts true that piracy is rampant here. But not everyone supports piracy. I also buy games in Datablitz and they usually charge 500 pesos (10 US$) more than the original price of the games. We also have a lot of online communities that feature trading of used games so we usually get original games cheaper as well.
Here are my games by the way...

they are loosing cash not gaining it you dumbass.. think about it, microsoft makes royalty funds off of the videgames being licensed for their console... once a person gets a modded 360 they have access to pirated games (burnt DVD 9 ISO's) meaning they need not buy a game that will benefit microsofts interest for the rest of the consoles life span. these games cost millions to make, if their easily found on the black market then microsoft will loose BIG TIME!!. The game publishers will not make games for a console if they know they will lose allot of cash due to pirating. It would be a financial suicide. XBLA may make some cash, yet its nothing in comparison to how much an exclusive like gears of war, or halo 3 will rake in for them. Not to mention that their are game developing companies with their eyes on videogame news for things like this. Finding out that you may potentially drive your company to bankruptcy by placing your product on a "pirate aware" console is a huge reason to think twice and instead work on the "longterm safe" competitor('s). the same holds true with the wii. If they can pirate full blown disk distrubuted games what makes you think small projects like the content found on the XBLA cant easily be emulated and disrubuted by other means (a DVD with 50 XBLA games? not so difficult to do...) It looks like David Jaffe was right when he said the Blueray makes the system cost heavy but sony knows why they do things...

» The problem is....
Since the majority of money is made by selling games , microsoft will only make a very small amount of cash with the console .
Forget about people buying the real games over there ... its pirates dreamland .
The guy at the philippines airport was interested by my baggage only because it was the first time that he had ever seen an original region 1 movie with only one movie per dvd ( They usually have 10 movies on a dvd...so the movies are really Really compressed with low quality )!

the one you met are part of those stupid corrupt goverment officials hens corrupt people. yes those multiple movies in 1 dvd are so crappy.
anyways, real official games still sell in the philippines but not too much and even if there are no modded consoles original games will still not sell due to its price of 10-15x the price of a burned copy. but there is 1 thing PROVEN in the philippines the millions of ps1 and ps2 modded consoles sold did hurt in any ways but instead helped in the success on those 2 sony consoles.

but piracy does more harm cause of the mass market and how it is distributed... the mass market buys disc (how do i know?) cause i grew up in the philippines... spent 3 years in indonesia.. and 6 months in china...
hackers can tinker all they want with the hardware but unless they can find a way to massively distribute it to the common public in a mode that they understand then it's not as much of a threat that what piracy could really be...
and as for agreeing that piracy is actually good for the XBox??? you guys are getting more stupid than ever.

I meant to say 4GB and 8GB memory cards instead of drives.
Plus there is hardly any games going over 10GB on the PS3 currently. The average game size is between 6gb to 12GB, and that will continue for atleast the next year. Compression of those 1080P FMV will reduce a lot of size on future bloated releases.

You would be hard pressed to find someone selling pirated copies in Western countries. The jail term in the US is something crazy like up to 10 years jail.
I think the Xbox 1 got used for pirating so much more. Mainly because you can load any game disc onto the hard drive and take it back to the store you bought it for to get a full refund. And anyone can do that! I was just saying that don't think that Blu-Ray is going to stop pirating. There is already a lot of sites sharing PS3 dumps even though a hack hasn't been released yet. 90% of dumps are smaller than a dual layer DVD anyway.
It took quite a long time before we saw a hack on the 360 and I expect a PS3 hack will pop up within the next 6 months.

If you exclude Japan from the Asian market there is hardly anything left. If the 360 wasn't hacked, do you think they would be selling many consoles and games in the Philippines? Hardly.
As I said before 90% of PS3 games are within dual layer dvd size. Blu-Ray might not be required for most games. I seem to remember with the PS2 CD sized games were the first to get hacked.

» Piracy
I don't know how they pirate stuff (like if they factory produce it or just get multiple burners), but with BluRay, it's going to be expensive and it's an unfamiliar format. So I guess that's a smart move on Sony's part.
They can probably figure out how to hack the PS3 in no time to get PS1 and PS2 backups, but there's no real point in that.
Hong Kong PS3 pirates are going to be busy for a while.

i have a 360 system as well and more then 30 games now..
i never pay more then 3 dollors a game unless its rare and hard to find like zone of enders 2 or ninja gaiden black.... but i also own a fair amount of originals too but only games i trully like .... ryu gagatoku 1 and 2 from sega and blue dragon jp...
in asia the ps3 is just too much money and there are no good games available at all.... my friend sold me his 360 to get a ps3 and he is not happy....
as there are a lot of problems with the xbox 360 but in asia you can get the fans modified which increas the noise but your system will never over heat and you will have little to no trouble with the red lights of death... but in the case of the ps3 there is no support in asia and when it breaks you are screwed .... no money back no exchange..... i know i was one of them.... so sony can kiss my !*@........
i live in asia ....... its very difficult to find originals for sale
and the backups or copies are virtualy identical to the originals... i have a collection on 260 ps2 games all with box and cd/dvd art to match the original minus the manuals...

the reason the PS3 hasnt been hacked yet is because, Like the PSP, its gonna be Hacked software and Firmware that will allow u to play games off of the Hard drive, not burned Games.
the Xbox 360 and the Wii's mods are to trick the dvd drive into thinking that its playing a Legit Disc. and since games fit on regular dvds that is fine
the different approach to the PS3 is why its taking so long... dont worry, 6 months untill ps3 will hacked too... most likely less.

The reason the Wii is so much more expensive is because it requires a hardware modification, whereas the 360 merely needs a firmware flashed.

i was in the philippines last month. i was surprised that they already had wii-mods. even the 360 mods. problem is that not many people in philippines like american products like the 360. i even saw someone(who looked rich) buy a ps3 there. because in philippines, sony is like a mercedes, wii(and PS2) are like toyotas, and xbox is like a ford(which in philippines is basically non-existent) if you get what i mean. a lot of people there like brand name basically.

and in the Philippines they care alot about how they are perceived by others.
wearing guess jeans or fossil watches might just be common in other cultures but in the philippines it's a big deal...
and sony is a big deal... and the higher the price is the more people want it... not the other way around where the higher the price is the more people get turned off... so with the price the PS3 has and the feeling of exclusivity and being elite... the PS3 is one of the hottest-thing-to-own right there right now... people are just deciding for the best way to get one.

I come from a Southeast Asian country originally. I know about all the piracy that goes on. It is much harder to buy genuine games and what games they release, are usually very outdated (I don't think there has been an Asian release of MGS3 Snake Eater) I guess its a vicious cycle really...

I live in the philippines and it is true that the wii is more expensive than the 360. Bootlegged games are also very rampant nowadays especially on the 360. I was disappointed at the price of the ps3 going to a whopping 55,000 pesos or US $1,100. The cheapest that I saw was 40,000 pesos or US $800 for a 60gb unit but the original games mostly costs you 3,000-4,000 pesos or $60-$80 US dollars.

Totally agree with u... The reason why its priced so high is because there isnt' even supposed to be PS3s in the Philippines in the first place... They weren't released there, and hence the importers can sell the PS3s for whatever price gives them a profit... (since we dont' expect them to run a charity)

you cal sell ur original game for any price you want the pirates will still beat you to it.
these are highpriced consoles and games cause these are for people who can afford these highpriced consoles and games...
they didn't the 360/PS3 (technological marvels in gaming) with the third world demographic in mind. they made it with the normal profile of a gamer in mind and we all know who those are. and believe me these are priced with profit in mind hitting the target market in mind...
they released it to countries like the phils for those who want one and those who can afford. it is not for the mass market of the third world. that is why owning one is considered a luxury...

Jay, if "piracy is here to stay untill they can ship world wide no region locked affordable games that are good..." as you say it, there isn't going to be an end in sight. Sony's already helped us a ton by allowing us to play Region Free games... Sure, they're not affordable but thats what piracy does... drives up the price for the legit consumer. So you have YOURSELF to thank for the lack of "affordable" games...
The thing is, the companies already have reduced price Asian versions of games out in each region, hell the consoles are even cheaper in Asia than the US. Yet all pirates do is throw it all in their face. I don't like your naive idea of having a "world wide approach"... thats like saying, we can't stop crime until we have a world wide approach where people can take what they want from other people without repercussion...
Put simply, YOU don't deserve a 360... neither do most of the pirates out there. Simple as that. If you can't afford the petrol for your Ferrari, don't buy the Ferrari...

Done the whole modding thing with the 360, bricked after the update.Besides it really got boring not playing online.Developers loose out big if you games can be pirated so easily that no one would purchase a ginuwine copy.Like the guy said it would cost alot more money if you want to pirate on the ps3 and there's probaly a chance it wont work.Can't wait for the backup of Halo 3 to release.Guess the whole decision for using blu-ray wasn't such a bad decision after all.I wonder what David Jaffe would say about it now.

in the philippines during the SEGA and NINTENDO 8-16bit era,
philippine gamers enjoys luxury gaming by ARCADE and yes saving money to buy SNES/SuperFamicom/NES/Megadrive/Genesis/GB etc. we buy original stuff on inflated prices, way higher than US/Jap price so that these dealers earn profit. by then we buy original games, temporary trade with friends just to play something new because we cannot afford many games but we got by that way. piracy is already in there with pirated cartridge but price is just a little lower than originals so we shell out a little and buy the original instead. but when ps1 came out, backup copies cost just a third of the original ones and yes they taught us how to swap disc on ps1 while it is spinning, its kinda bad but many people chose it because they can buy 3 diff games instead of 1 original game. then after a year or so modchips came out, can only play games by the units region jap games for jap modded unit, us games for us modded unit. these modded units all came from hong kong. since modded units became popular the game copies sell more hence price drop getting 6 games versus 1 original, double or multiple disc game price is also multiplied by the number of disc hence FF7 will cost you pirated disc price times 3.
but since there is no market for any console here in the philippines, piracy here doesnt hurt sony nintendo or microsoft, instead helps those companies sell millions of consoles because we still buy consoles at FULL retail price.
software makers are just a little hurt because they are not really supposed to sell in the philippines, its not theyre intended audience after all, but we from the philippines wants to experience the wonderful world of games.

» You don't buy consoles at FULL retail price
You pay the DEALER for whatever price he is asking for. Doesn't mean that the company makes money from console sales. It usually costs more for the company to make the console, and then they sell it at a "subsidised" price, so that you will end up buying the software for the console which is where the money comes in. If the company sells 1 console for a loss of $100 (I'm speculating here), selling 10 consoles means a loss of $1000... On top of that, all you're doing is making those importing scalpers rich... If you want games that bad, import them yourself. Cut out the middle-man... Its things like this that make software companies wary about releasing their games to your market... You're only making it harder for yourself in the long run.

You see. Everything in this hell of a country can be faked. From books, medicines and food as well as crimes. Heck, even citizenship, driver's license and believe it or not, election candidates, celebrity scandals and money given as vote buying can be faked...and I'm not joking at that.
People here are really immorals despite being one of the only Catholic country in Asia. Cheating always occurs during elections and the latest Nursing Board Exam scandal proved most of my fellow Filipinos don't have conscience.
Another Trivia:
Only the Philippines has/had:
A Senator named Joker
A Cardinal named Sin
An Acting-President (Television Actor turned President)
A Jailed Person winning as congressman
An Ex-president pushing for equal land right yet his family hold hectares of land (Aquino)
An Actress whose problem became a national issue

I live in the Philippines and I buy original games at Data Blitz (local chain that sells originals in the Philippines).
(Note: I'm middle class citizen yet I can actually buy the original ones. People here are just really lazy.)

» to this moron
yes i understood everything you said...
i may just be half Filipino...
but i am more Filipino than you are.
and we are ashamed of you.
only a person without proper breeding would speak those things... the people who sleep on the streets with not an ounce of education in them has got more manners than you.
to the rest... don't mind this guy... seems to be just another kid with bad manners.
i lived in the Philippines for 18 years... in the US for 2 years of schooling... visited countries in Europe and Asia... and now reside in Australia and been here for 3 years... Filipinos are as good a race as others and in some ways even better... If anyone here has a Filipino friend you would know what i'm talking about.
If you don't like the country ur at right now and hate the people you share it with... then by all means just kill yourself.

» Real Pinoy you're a moron
I agree with Quixand. You're an absolute fool. Every nationality has an up or down. Belittling a nationality is bad enough. doing it against your own is a big big low in your personality. If you really think of your own people like that, then just pack your bags and migrate somewhere else.
I'd really love to see if you're as brave as you seem to be. Say that straight-faced to all Filipinos and not behind the KB/mouse. And you call yourself Real Pinoy? Shame on you.
