A $60 Xbox 360 game in the USA is .0012% of $47,084, which is the US' per capita GDP at Purchasing Power Parity for 2010.

.0012% of $3,925, which is the Philippines' per capita GDP of 2010 at PPP is at $4.71. At 42.1 peso/USD (today's exchange rate) that is equivalent to P198.291.

A pirated Xbox 360 title in the Philippines sells for P200 (last time I checked), roughly .0012% of the Philippines' per capita GDP at PPP.

A pirated Xbox 360 title in Thailand sells for 300 Bhat, roughly .0012% of Thailand's GDP per capita at PPP for 2010 at $8,612.

Is .0012% of GDP per capita at PPP the right price for a game? (No, prices vary in Indonesia for example and other SEA nations for example)

Laissez-faire in action, taking the idea of freedom from state intervention to new heights!
