[QUOTE="acidBURN1942"]games are just as easily pirated on consoles.....believe mecajunXLVII

Heh, believe it.  Its called a mod chip, you have to solder it into your console, a dangerous job for someone unskilled.  You can even buy consoles pre-modded.  Once its in, you can download and burn console games as long as they use a standard type of media, which they all do with the exception of the PS3.  I love games, have since I was a kid, its a shame that people are too lazy to go out and work a few hours to pay for somthing that provides so much entertainment.

In some ways I think developers ae going the wrong way with all this copy protection though.  I understand why they do it, I just think in some ways that its counter productive.  For instance, I will not ever buy a game with starforce on it, it installs junk onto your PC and makes you restart, lameness.  If you have ever played a game called Galactic Civilizations 2 you will have the pleasure to play a game that has 0 protection, you can install numerous ways, you never need the CD and you dont need a serial to play.  I heard about this, tried out the game, loved it, bought it and pre-ordered their next game.  Its called Sins Of A Solar Nation. This company has quickly turned into my golden gaming company, where I buy pretty much whatever they make.  Sort of like how I used to feel about Lucas Arts back in the day.
