I was watching Filipino news last night and they features all the toys that Filipino is crazy about and whats on the Filipino wish list this Christmas. Amazingly its the PSP thats in the toplist and the Transformers action figures. I’m not sure about Nintendo DS, but one of my friend told me, one of the reason was its too expensive to make backups games to work in DS and you need to shell out extra money to run Homebrew apps and backups games like using of R4 Revolution, unlike PSP all you need is a custom firmware by Dark-Alex or M33 that you can download for free and your good to go. I remember last year when I was in the Philippines how the ISO games sell rampantly in almost every mall in the Philippines, the price tags range from P500.00 to P1,000.00 depend on how many games you want. I can’t believe why they sell it that much expensive since they only get it for free using Bittorrent. When this news about piracy of games in the Philippines spread in the internet, almost all site even the one with no care in PSP scene you can can find an article about the piracy. I’m so glad that the Philippines government is never stop cleaning up all those pirates in the street, but of course for sure pirates only move places but their business still going. Even in legal website you can find them there. One thing that also shock me is the price of PSP Console units, its really way expensive compare to US price, my friends say that the price now of PSP is P12,500.00 (almost US$300.00). So if you need the one that is already flashed, Homebrew capable units you need at least P15,000.00 to enjoy PSP, with 1,000 ISO games included in DVD format as a packages. Being a gamer all I can say is “If you like it, Buy it (orig. games). Say No to Piracy!, but protect your rights.
