Just wish everyone could just buy what they wanted instead of having to pirate. Its ridiculous to steal and think its ok.

It's not steal, you are not taking it from someone. You are just copying.
In capitalism, not everyone can be rich.
If it wasn't for piracy, I would never play Videogames in my life. Not being a gamer, I would never buy original games today that I have the minimum conditions to afford it.
But I don't like people that bought PS3 games and now converted back to CFW. It's a very bad habit of my country.

Yea, but it is still stealing. We know not everybody can be rich in capitalism, but in life, people aren't entitled to stuff, especially video games. If you can't afford it, then you shouldn't be playing it. As sad as it is, that's just how it works. I also really don't understand why you purchased a PS3 for hundreds of dollars if you "can't" afford the games, clearly you should be spending that money on other parts of your life.

I AM buying original games. And I AM against people that bought a expensive console to play pirate games. This topic is not that easy to solve...You can buy a unblocked PS2 for less than $150 and play all the games you want, a lot of people can afford this, but not a $600 PS3 with $100 games.
But the fact is that piracy helped the market in the past.
Actually, Microsoft even made incentives to allow Windows pirate copies everywhere. They killed Macintosh and Linux doing this, and nowadays they are selling a lot of original copies, because of the improved economy.
If piracy is stealing or not, depends of point of view. I think sometimes that discussing it is almost like discussing religion.
If pirates are wrong or right, we don't know. But i'm sure that who buys original copies is not wrong. I think that is the "consensus" of both sides.
