Almost all countries have ratings based on age, even the US with its inane E,C,T,M,AO,X,EA,FOO rating system. I've never seen anyone proclaim some game is for kids based on the USK rating here, though. They'll complain about graphics or content but never about the rating the USK gave out. The only ones who even notice the FSK/USK ratings are the children prevented from buying something and the parents who don't want their children to play "evil" games.

I retract my earlier satement. If you own an Xbox as well your OK. Their hard drive is prety useful. A gamecube with a hard drive? that would be good. =D

Where have all the gamers gone?

Gone to college, every one.

What's that got to do with anything but piracy which isn't the topic of this thread?

Nothing, really. I didn't purport it to be a relevant point, just a casual mention in response to a specific post. I could have PMed it to him, I suppose. But then this is a forum....

Well I'll retrofit it to the discussion anyway, since you're being so affectionate today.

Some say widely available pirated games is integral to a console's popularity. GameCube piracy = succe$$!! I think the Revolution's media should be Xerox-able to guarantee massive hardware sales. Go eReader!

I don't think that's a good idea. Piracy will help sell the hardware but the games are where the money is and a pirate won't buy those.

Yeah but huge hardware numbers would shut up the anti-Nintendo crowd. Which seem to be growing lately by the way. I think the news that the Rev and the DS are going online coupled with the really good sales for RE4 (See? I can stay on topic too!) have gotten all the Sony and MS fanboys flaming mad.

Although I don't know why. The sun shines on every dog's ass eventually and it's not like RE4 or future online plans make Nintendo any less screwed when it comes to the looming threat of the PSP or the gaining popularity of the XBOX. You'd think they'd just let us be happy for a moment. But NO, the last week or so I've had to scare so many trolls off of my forums I've lost count.
