The Perils of PSP Piracy

Here's to all of you thinking of pirating your PSP games, there are amazing consequences. Let me just highlight some of them.

First, you need to buy a large Memory Stick, 1GB or 2GB. That's going to cost you some money, and *gasp*, you will be able to fill it up with music for listening on the go, a couple of video clips along with maybe two games without any extra baggage! How horrible, imagine the dilemma you would have in choosing what form of entertainment you want while on the go.

Second, you will get your PSP games earlier than when it is released officially. For one, you won't be able to participate in the festivity of queueing up overnight for a great game like Winning Eleven 9 at your game shop. Instead, you will be downloading it off some website or P2P program alone at home. How anti-social!

You're going to spend about $150 on that memory stick. That's like.. the cost of 2 games! You will be swapping games in and out of that memory stick cos it won't be able to contain the almost 20 games you have downloaded. What a waste of time, copying files in and out. And 20 games? How in the world are you going to be able to choose what to play?

No. 4, your games will load much faster than someone who uses the game disc. Instead of waiting 45s for a WE9 match to start, your load time is instantaneous. There's no way you will be able to prepare yourself for an intense match like that with so little time. What's more, if good things are worth waiting for, and you never have to wait for anything, how will you appreciate what is coming?


And imagine the guilt.. oh wait, scrap that, that doesn't make any sense.
