every disc based console has been victim of piracy. it's inevitable, all we clever people can do about it is not support it.

unfortunately I happen to like mods, being almost play nothing apart from imports. (SH3 was an exception).

yeah but we all know that there are people who mod to play original imports, and those who mod to play pirate games......
OF COURSE i have nothing against original import games. its the pirates that really piss me off

after awhile I realised I don't have time to played 60+ titles (cheap or not). to be honest limiting yourself to titles you have tried doesn't strain your budget so much you get so much more out of them (let's face it import in the UK aren't exactly cheap u know).

more than anything I guess casual piracy really does dilute the amount of quality play time for me.

How about mail-order? My NTSC imports arrive within 5-10 days, no shipping costs, no additional tax costs and what I pay then is even below PAL shop prices. Check out: http://www.dvdboxoffice.com

I bet that broadband is cheap in Hong Kong? What are you hooked up with 100mbs fiber for 80 dollars a month?

God damn AMERICA WE NEED CHEAP 10+ MBS BROADBAND TOO.

I will subscribe immediatly if it is really that cheap, I think you are joking with the 400Mbps figure.

Average ADSL with nominal down/up 3Mbps/256Kbps (or 512Kbps) would be around HK$150 from most ISPs.

ADSL 6Mbps/640Kbps lines are HK$2xx.

One non-ADSL ISP claimed to be nominal 10Mbps/10Mbps is around HK$1xx.

A cable operator is also providing 10Mbps shared at the port, but the effective bandwidth varies a lot. Also around HK$200.

For Japanese GC imports, you can try hmv.co.jp, the direct link to the GC games page is http://www.hmv.co.jp/fe/detail.asp?featurecode=301090002

The site can switch to English interface, but the menu bar does not have games in English mode.

whoops, like I said I'm not the one paying maybe he meant per week?

in anycase it beats my home conn of 30GB sterling by a long shot.
