Never used the cracked version. I did use the demo version after trying some of the other NDS emulators expecting it to be as bad as they were, I was wrong. Though the reason I didn't use the cracked version was that I heard about all the issues that exist with it and did not want to even bother.

As for the op. Find one thing you spend $0.50 on in a week and stop doing that for 20 weeks and you will have enough to buy a $10 google play card. You could speed this up cutting out other things if you really want to. Or get the google opinion rewards app from google they will give you credit for each survey you complete and that can add up to the cost of drastic if you keep at it.

If you live in england like me its almost half the price due to currency exchange from $ to £. $1 is around 60p (£0.60) so that made drastic £3.80 or so for me.

You get more value buying it in the UK
Always confuses me because things tend to be more expensive here

bah, bought it when it first came out at 8 fricken dollars at a time when its exchange rate here is like 2-3 days worth of minimum wage.

Thats weird because I remember it still being something like £3.90 here when it was $8 over there (I bought it before exophase reduced the price)

its an exageration but still, if i think about it, minimum daily in the Philippines circa 2014 is about 450 pesos i think in the metro so thats still like a day and a few hours worth.

Ouch, and in the US that same $8 would buy a starbux coffee and a pastry. Starbux is good but not worth 2-3 days of work for.

Not to mention that you can get away with just a Nescafe packet and a creamer.

ah, but you dont get the 'starbux experience' then wouldnt you? all you get is the promise of a cup of joe and ending up with a dark mud of sadness

I can't believe the topic has switched to coffee
