It's only fair they suffer the same fate as Sony & Microsoft, especially in these hard economic times. The parties over. Lower your game prices or suffer the hard end of the stick.

If the industry was realy ganna be threatened by this they would not make external media to restore a systems software they would have a special input only plug that wipes the flash mem and restores the original software, and it would be completely locked even from the companies software (but to be erased). But they still leave little things open, peopple have accidently gotten recovery disks in there system and hardware (like the psp) that people reverse engineare to hack the system. some like the wii use genaric hardware that peaple just loaded there own vertion of the software on to bypass certain checks. and if you realy dont want to open up your system you can play it on your computer get adapters and play with the accual controller now even the wii and PS3 (xbox is way too easy i was all based for a PC anyway). Now say that you go streight edge and buy all your games, say you beat a game 100% that you payed over $50 for, what do you have? a usless hunk of plastic that you can only get $15 for if your lucky and when that game goes back into cycle the game companies dont see a penny of the money thoes game stores make for trade-ins. So not to be an ass really think about it when you so violently bash piracy. THE END LOL i agree that piracy is bad but so is dropping $50 for a game that you dont like, and i know that renting is avalible but by the time you can get ahold of the game you have lost interest. i myself pirate games, BUT if i really like it i go and buy it and about 90% of the games i download go unfinnished and just lets say rot. besides that if you back up a rented game its not really piracy because you paid a price for it and the sales of games rented makes more money thn one would think with multiple copies and at $7 for 3 days, within a month that all adds up to the price of maybe 5 games all for a game that noone can keep. and just like the music industry the artists bearly see this money unless they are indapendant. and the funny thing is that you can build this sytem on the cheep with the mother baord at like $50 andthe Disk drive at $20 and the shell at $5. and say a game caust $5,000,000 to make and the sales on openning day are at 100,000 copies at $56 per copy in the US alone makes them 5.6 mil and with example of halo 3 with the $100 legendary edition almost makes about 35% more money for free gifts.

No thats not going to happen. You can not tell by just a review on whether you will like the game or not in the end. I have bought so many games that just sucked and I had wished that I could have tried out a 20 minute demo first before finding out that the gameplay just wasn't my thing, another wasted $50. I dont agree or disagree with pirating. I pirate music, movies, and programs all the time. And guess what, usually after about 24 hours I decide either it sucked or it was worth it and I pay the $15 for a cd, $50 for a game, or even $4000 for some software. But damn straight I will find out first on wether it sux or not and if I should WASTE my money on some garbage.

Game demos are where it’s at.

Personally I hated Gears of War, one of the best reviewed 360 titles.

Game choice can be very personal.

That's about it. The rest is not really excusable. That said, I perfectly agree that demos HAVE TO be more than 95% similar to their respective retail version, and each game should come with such a demo. Otherwise, you may consider that there's been a failure at the marketing level. PS: sorry for the typos in my former post. :( The only positive point about game piracy is… huh, spreading gaming experience beyond the limits of people’s wealth (which in certain countries is decreasing considerably).
