    R u sure that's a shop... Or a warehouse? :lol:

    I've been to a cetak rompak VCD/DVD warehouse before... A lot of CDs... A lot of people... Only RM10 per DVD9.

    Too bad that warehouse closed already... Maybe shifted location due to the ongoing raids... Now I can't watch high quality uncensored movies at a cheap price no more :cry:

    Yeah! Any publicity is good publicity.

    Go Malaysia Boleh.

    On a serious note, I think alot of people buying the 'new' software will find it lacking and buggy.

    Haha, you should see how rampant it is in M'sia, makes it virtually impossible for us to buy original software! Yup, that bad.

    Nope. It's mostly either hardware shop or shops selling p stuffs. :dance:

    there are shops selling original stuffs but it's soo few cos a large majority don't buy them.. thus.. it's simply suicidal (business sense) to stock up one things no one buys.... thus is the case here... sad but true.

    unless price changes, like books... books here in Malaysia are generally cheaper than in US, i doubt the situation would improve in any ways.

    Books are quite expensive... for me that is. :D RM40+ for a book? :doh:

    Well there is the Software Boutique at SS2, that one has the most complete Original Sofwares around, since the rest had died.
