"Rampant piracy" makes PSP the perfect gift in China

[heilong]

Well alot of you are missing the point, The PSP like alot of other systems is not released in china yet, They import and the piracy thing is usually contained to that area alone and so companys like sony are not really losing profit. You can buy real UMDs here also, but they tend to be more expensive than back home in Ireland about $90 us dollers for tekken DR. Most Chinese seem more intrested in PC games ecause games are usually hack to have chinese language and internet cafe's are one of the biggest things here after food.

So I say let them have what they want, They pay the same for their PSP's and get no support for SONY(not like we do;/)

Say what?
Do you want me to give u an address of a market that sells heeeeaps of PSPs IN China? oh sorry they also sells PS2, Xbox, DS, GB, VBA & even old NES.

Though i agree with u abt the other systems, like 360, Wii & PS3. They dont sell these here as yet but u can preorder from black market & u will hav it next day. how? coz these fukkin Sony+others warehouses are just around the corner (contractors/suppliers, all freakin made in china)... and coz money talks. but why these 3 system not in china yet "officially"? coz no one will ever buy original softwares, too exp for local rates. just wait till mod chip come out, coz the next day u will see is every1 selling PS3 & each games cost like 5-10 RMB. :rofl:

fyi, i just happen to live in china, for a moment.

and yeah yesterday i saw Pink PSP 1.5 in the market for 1500 RMB incl 2 Gig Sony MS.
cute pink strap tho. thinkin to get that. :rofl:

No, you need to read my post a little better, you can buy anything you want in China and the shops and stalls have tons of PSPs and other such things, I never said they didnt, BUT the system in not released offically here yet so thats why they import from Japan and Europe (the People selling the PSPs here I mean.) as stated in the artical on page one.

If it were not for Tekken I wouldn't have bought the PSP. Come to think of it Tekken is THE only GAME I played for hours everyday. But sometimes I play Super Mario 3 and 4 sometimes metal slug x. If it weren't for homebrew I wouldn't have played any other PSP game except for Tekken. I think i need to buy another game.

f you plan to buy another game, u should make it Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops. The best game on the Psp ever created period. Also if you like Tekken, you will probably also like the new Mortal Kombat game too.

I got it already and it is great but the controls need a little getting used to. I would love Mortal Kombat but its still not available where I lived. Same with all the other 3rd person and 1st person shooters. I have SOCCOM 1 which is great reminds me of the PC game Delta Force - ah the .50 caliber sniper riffle wow - anyway... playing 3rd person and1st person games on the PSP for too long is nauseating for me. The games I like the most are those that don't have too much moving background (doesn't move more than 180 deg).

. Just as with PC games, I like to "preview" them.

Just like me
