Piracy

April 30, 2009
The Indian mentality is to get things as cheap as possible. Even with original PS2 games available at Rs 499, many people would explore the option of buying a pirated copy for Rs 50 or less. A common question a potential PS2 buyer, or any other console for that matter, would pose to a retailer is 'Will it play cheap pirated games?'. Whether or not they actually go down the piracy route is another matter, but people like to know that there is that option.

That option exists with the PS2, and not with the Zeebo. So for the Zeebo, when the answer from the retailer comes back as an abrupt 'No', it will turn customers away, not because they only want to play pirated games, but because they would like to have the freedom to choose.
