DS Daily: Ongoing costs

***Insert typical rant about using pirated roms and then bragging about it here***

Just in case the above poster was being sarcastic about "ranting", let's be serious. Bragging about DS piracy on a site purposed with promoting titles is a really jackassed thing to do. Doing it anywhere, for that matter.

While sarcasm was a component of my comment, it still amazes me that anytime that we have a discussion about game purchases that pirating still enters into the equation and people still think that bragging about it is alright. I personally don't pirate video games, and probably never will, however I can see how some people might feel the need. However to blatantly brag about it on a public forum (where a user could easily be tracked down) is mind-bogglingly stupid. My comment was a tongue-in-cheek reply because I knew that someone down the line would, as always happens, post a reply about people talking about pirating games.

As long as people are out there pirating games, I guess this is just a topic that will continue to pop up.

I don't know... let's compare the comments from people talking about spending money and the comments from people talking about pirating games. What do you think? Are you the ONLY PERSON who buys games?

Remember, there was math involved in today's topic. ;)

At the time of my posting (you are aware that more posts may be added over time, yes?) the split was about 50/50 of people who did mention buying an R4, and who did not mention an R4.

The rest was what we like to call "hyperbole", which is something people do to make what they say more interesting. But thanks for taking the time to show your superior grasp of number theory. Congratulations! You've shown how smart you are ON THE INTERNET. Your parents must be so proud.

Oh my, Alisha! You've upset the baby. Poor thing. Maybe he needs to find his own place on the internet to BAAAAAAAAAAW!

Or buy infinitely replayable games like Clubhouse Games or Chessmaster.

I'm amazed when I hear reports like some of those above. I've bought a dozen games since I got my DS a year or so ago, and I chastise myself for having too many to ever actually play. With most of 'em, I've barely scratched the surface. The only game I ever "finished" is Phantom Hourglass, and I rushed through that with the help of a walkthrough.

Generally, I don't like games that can be finished. I like games I want to keep coming back to forever.

oh, and I'm also an impulse buyer, which doesn't help. I just can't resist a good deal or a nice looking game ^^

Same problem here.
