Why not just get the best you can and go to a store and physically steal it?

You obviously dont know the consequences if you get cought. Now that I'm on probation, I think twice before I do anything illegal EVER. I don't have a job, I wont be getting one until next year. When I do have a job I am going to get as many free things as possible, because instead of spending $15 on something I could get free, I could put that money towards something I actually need.

That makes absolutely no sense. The point is that those who do pirate will eventually screw it all up for the rest of us. It saddens me that the majority of those who pirate have absolutely no idea what they are doing. And apparently my earlier post wasn't received. If you can't afford to buy something, then get a damn job!

*Sigh* guess I have to come back because people just cant understand. It makes perfect sense. If you want to pirate then DO IT. If you dont then DONT PIRATE (hopefully you can understand that, unless I have to put it all in caps) and just shut up and stop complaining. You complain and that gets you nowhere. Not of all us can get a job because we all arent at the age, and not all of us have $15 for the newest cd that comes out, so why do that when you can get it FREE.  And the majority of people that pirate have an idea of what they are doing because apparently its pissing you off.

Why cant people understand that if they dont want to pirate they dont have to, its an option. Why do you continue to say it hurts buisnesses when we know this and we do not care. The music industry has enough money going around and its a company that makes millions off people who work hard at first, buy a mansion and get lazy. Big buisnesses and little buisnesses may lose some profit but its nothing they cant handle, I havent heard of a buisness going bankrupt because of piracy. Don't even say anything about the video game industry because it hasn't even reached the point to where its a problem yet. The numbers posted earlier were 100% BS. Its hard to pirate games for the GC and if it happeneds to Sony or Microsoft its nothing they cant handle.

I'm not even going to get into it in this post, you explain something and someone goes off talking about something else. I'm just going to leave it at this, if you want to pirate go ahead if you dont shut up and dont pirate.

How about we stop making threads about the NEXT console name, and focus on THIS console. When the time is right you'll know the name, and I highly doubt Nintendo would use the HyperCube...they are way more creative then that.

I agree with you Mouse Clicker except for the part where you say you shouldn't pirate. Its really not that big of a deal. Say 1,000 people decide to burn a cd. Thats about $13,000 the artist is missing on. BIG DEAL. Half this artists are in commercials that pay well over that, not even to mention the amounts from merchandise and concert tickets. Now I know someones going to say "WHAT ABOUT THE SMALLER BANDS WHO NEED MONEY" people just use that as a reason to debate against piracy. If your an underground band theres a reason for it. Your not out for the money although its nice to pick up some cash and they DO get paid from concerts etc. The underground band fan base isnt as big as mainstream so they dont expect the big bucks, and most of the fans are loyal and purchase the cds.

Hitman, I take it you support bans on guns. Higher minimum driving ages, banning of all substances that can be misused. Because, frankly, that is the arguement you are making. What you say is that because someone can use a product wrongfully, that company that produces that product is commiting the same moral sin as you.

I dont remember saying anything about guns, driving ages, or all substances. So uhh...I have no idea what your talking about, And most of the black cds sold say 75 minutes of recording time or something like that on it. What can you put on a blank cd that plays for 75minutes...I wonder...

Bah, trying to keep this thread alive, wrestling is my favorite genre of video games. It has everything, awsome multiplayer, tons of action, fun single player, caws, and unlimited replay value.

I've never seen a decent hentai pic thing in my life. I dont even get it, its a cartoon written by some guys fantasies, so technically your getting off on some japanese dude's fantasy which could be his daughter or his mother for all we know

Nicole Kidman is hot, but I love my baby Christina Applegate.

Why do people complain so much about piracy? If you dont want to pirate you dont have to. Pirating is not morally wrong  because companies make cd burners, cd-rws, cd labels and such for creating custom cds. Stupid people who think closing Kazaa down is going to do something are just blind. We need blank cd's for the music, and you cant stop the production of blank cd's. Piracy will never go away because  theres always going to be that one guy that finds the free way to get something. You can hop on the boat and get some free stuff, or pay for it.

Piracy rocks, I support piracy 100% wooooooooo go piracy ya! Anyway because the thread got closed because someone was acting like they were 5, what exactly is Xenosaga?

Back to piracy, if a multimillion dollar company is charing $50-$100 for software I'm definetly not buying it. Why buy something when you can get it FREE? Just think about that. You burn cd's, you download songs, your pirating and simple as that.

Toys R Us is awsome, but why do they have random consoles for sale? Sometimes there will be the Genesis 3's and sometimes Game Gears. I'm waiting for a Saturn, but I'll doubt thats going to happen.

Yeah, Firepro is awsome. Backyard wrestling seems cool but I just don't see it working. If you can do all the stuff it says you can do like light people on fire, hit them with chairs, cars, slam them into the pavement or off a roof hows your opponent going to attack? The Smackdown special system is easy, but I love it. I don't have to do any annoying combos, just get in the situation and hit L1. I don't like grappling systems much because when do you see that in real wrestling? I think WWF Warzone was the best wrestling game ever.

I hope someone mugs you someday so you can see what it feels like. After all, he didn't want to actually go out and earn his money, as that was too hard wasn't it?

Ok...um...that was the most pointless and stupidest post I have read to date. Mugging and piracy are not related. I didnt go up to Bill Gates beat him up and steal a copy of MS Office and XP. I simply typed Windows XP into my Kazaa search and downloaded it.

I pirate because I feel these companies have not earned their money. Getting millions for selling some software is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. There are REAL people with REAL jobs doing things for us everyday and get paid and treated like crap. Pirate on!

I find nothing wrong with piracy. I love my Windows XP, Office XP, Adaware 6, Ahead Nero, my burned DC games, my emulators I love it all and I am glad I didn't have to pay a penny for it. I don't care what anyone says, if you have $100 to go buy something go ahead, for those of us who dont theres an easy way to get what you want.

Back to the topic, what exactly is Xenosaga, is it the kind of RPG that makes you just say....WOW. I haven't had that feeling in a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

I just saw the trailers for each of them. I wasnt impressed at all for Raw2, as for the WMXIX it looks the best graphic wise, but overall HTCP took the cake. The PS2 graphics look like a Dreamcast to me in some games, I just cant wait until these games come out...anyone know the release dates for WMXIX and HTCP?

Alright wrestling fans, the time has come. I don't think I have ever been this excited for a wrestling game. RAW2 looks sweet, and the custom song feature is awsome but for some reason I feel its not going to work the way it should. I am leaning more towards HCTP because it just looks and plays so real, and Wrestlemania doesn't have as many cool features.

I never liked Star Wars, I never really got the idea of it, just bored me. Catch Me If You Can is actually a great movie. Tom Hanks is an awsome actor, and Leonardo Dicaprio is a good actor too if you look at his acting skills. I dont understand why people call him ghey when he can get any chick he wants.

Mario never existed and the game was called The Adventures of Luigi. The Master System flops horribly, causing Sega to retreat for a few years and gather resources. The Intellivision 6000 crushes the NES because of an 8bit version of Drug Wars. The 16-bit era rolls around. The SNES is launched with a game called Nintendo Clash, featuring all Nintendo characters fighting in a 2D Street fighting style. Sega releases a system called the Demon. Knuckles becomes way more popular then Sonic, so Sonic dies off in the 2nd game and the series continues. Bill Gates goes bankrupt because Apple kicks Microsoft's ass. Sony releases a 16-bit console called Drifter. The SNES comes out on top, but Sony close behind. The next era is 64 bit, but the Intellivision Riptide is the first 128 bit console out. Sega goes bankrupt and is bought out by Sony, which comes out with a 64bit console called the Playstation, and Nintendo releases the NES2.

Sony dominates and causes Intellivision to go bankrupt, and Sony buys them out. Microsoft decides to release a 700 pound behemoth console named Oprah, that has the technology to tell you whats best for you, and how to live your life and how to tell when your lover is cheating on you. The Oprah dominates Sony and Nintendo. For the next-gen Bill Gates works on the Oprah500 "Bigger and Blacker then before" will be the slogan. The Oprah500 becomes the most successful console in history and Oprahsoft becomes the richest company in the entire world. The End.

Why the sudden interest in 60's music? Some if its good but I prefer Led Zeppelin anyday. I'm not sure if these bands were 60's bands, but War, The Turtles, and The Beegees are great.

Imagine if the original Super Mario Bros had, instead of the now classic Mario tunes, songs from Prince, Duran Duran, Cindy Lauper, and other artists that were popular at the time.

Haha, could you imagine in Super Mario Bros when you get up to Koopa (Bowser for all of you who dont knpw) Mario just busts out with "This is what it sounds like, when doves cry."
