Pilot, do you honestly care if the moving set of pixels on your computer screen in your dark room got to your monitor illegally?

If you do, you honestly need a wake up call. You can't steal a non-physical entity, it just doesn't make sense. It's just data, and you honestly need to chill on that. It's for that reason why I think it's pointless paying to download music on itunes. Why the **** would I spend actual money to download a piece of data which i can just download for free? I'm all for buying music still, heck i do, i want to have the actual hard copy in front of me.


And this whole paying monthly buisness is stupid in the first place. **** Xbox Live, there i said it. I'm sick and tired of this being the pinnacle of an Xbox fanboys argument. It's pathetic, normally people have good games to boast about over their system, but what have MS fanboys got left on their exclusive lists? Their falling testament, Halo 3, as it were for most of last year, was so looked forward to for its frickin online experience. I'm sorry, but what the hell is wrong with making a game with a greatly polished single player? And please, for the life of me don't mention the words 'Mass' or 'Effect'; Bioware can get bent.

My point here is that a systems merits should be based around improving the user experience, whether this means being more intuitive in terms of user input or some kind of new 'innovation'. Secondly it should also have a healthy amount of solid exclusives and first party offerings that don't fall back on the use of online or the promise of more 'downloadable content', which, will inevitably cost you even more. You're looking at a £45 game, plus your Live subscription for the year and then the odd few quid here and there to bolster your game. This whole just honestly needs to calm the **** down.

Right. I think Xbox Live is overrated, and paying is silly, but it delivers, and I don't think that online multiplayer is meaningless.

SM what's with your needless post-deletion? That was a much needed pic in this topic, hence why it was posted.

It was meaningless image-spam. Try replying sensically.

It's my opinion to follow the law even if it's stupid. As long as the law doesn't force me to do something against my morals, I can live with it. I don't care much for music or movies anyway, so I have no problem following the copyright laws. I'm sorry I offended you.
And no, the room where I have my monitor(s) is actually very bright.

Speaking of Xbox Live.
The Arcade is going to offer Downloads for Rare 64 games. Goldeneye and Banjo and Perfect dark are going to be in the fray.

That explains why Microsoft didn't want to port them to the DS or Wii Virtual Console.

Goldeneye is not. I'm not certain about the others. Supposedly a dispute with Nintendo about it, so it may get cleared up and released eventually.
