yes, to some people, size of download is an issue. piracy is most rampant in poorer countries/thrid world countries where games are expensive as shit.

for example, here where I live, internet is so slow that i could just cry. faster connections is too expensive and the only affordable internet connections here has an average speed of 15-30kb/s. feels like i'm on a 56k dial-up modem.

so, to all those saying that file size doesn't matter, i say, you dont know anything and please just stop sprouting nonesense. not everyone has a 800 and up kb/s connection.

hell my average transfer rate is 20kb/s. which means i cant play online and when donwloading updates from psn, it takes me about 1 day just to downlaod 150mb

the good news for thoese who live on piracy is that there are people who actually sell downloaded games... for example this...

this is from a buy and sell site that focuses on PCs and stuff..conversion rate is around P43 per us dollar, so the P299 is about $7 US

the bad news is ps3 piracy here is spreading like wildfire. and there are more and more people and places that offer to hack your ps3 for you with free "games"...

Off Topic: I jsut bought sprots championshipn move bundle and re5 gold editon. sports championship is fun as hell, re5 not so much with move. now if i can only afford a second move controller (maybe after 6 months of saving or something...)


Things is, if thats the case, it still isn't a deterrent. Why? I'm willing to bet that there are people who will sell the dl on a disc for real cheap. heard of that happening in China...don't see why it wont happen elsewhere. Basically, what I'm trying to say is: people who want to pirate WILL PIRATE. These lame workarounds are just lame.
