This will not be an accurate test as to wheather people pirate games because of DRM or not. I just bought the game. On the back cover in a yellow box at the bottom it states:

"Notice: This game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict with some disc and virtual drives."

If Ubisoft is seriously trying to get a benchmark on how many people pirate because of DRM, they should really state that the game is DRM free on the back of the box, otherwise no one besides us forum dwellers will ever know.

Now This is definitely my kind of contest. The prize...is a random pile of tech stuff. That is awesome. Whoever gets it is going to have days of fun toying around with all of that new stuff!

I'm still totally happy with my A-100, an A-110 would be useless for me since I still connect to my TV via RCA. I will definitely look into the A-110 if I ever get a TV with HDMI.(I have a 20" widescreen on my computer hooked up via DVI, so that is where I watch my HD content, and I use my A-100 for whenever someone wants to watch a movie on the TV.)

SATA harddrives is also a very nice feature, I had to buy an IDE especially for my A-100 because all I have sitting around are SATA, which will make it easier to switch to the A-110 in the future.

see how much people care about apple products?

they'd rather have a grammar war than speak of anything related to apple.

RMVB support?!
who actually uses that format anymore!?

I haven't seen a video in that format in at least 5 years.

Lots and lots of COD4.

and when my friends that have crappy computers want to play something, I play some good old starcraft with them. Idiots don't know what they're missing by having 360s instead of good PCs....we could be playing sins of a solar empire or supreme commander FA instead of starcraft :[

(you'd think since they all love RTS games they'd go the pc route? *sigh* Halo is just too popular....)

I use the MPC in the CCCP (Comunity Combined Codec Pack - http://www.cccp-project.net/) and it has played EVERYTHING I've throw at it.

What he is saying obviously works for MMORPGs, and there are already MMOs in the US that use that model, but I can't see this system working for a FPS or a single-player RPG such as mass effect.

How is this a beta?
the real version of the game is out...shouldn't the demo just be a version of the game with restrictions on maps, weapons, game types, and no single player?

I will not be buying this "stand alone continuation".

Crytek decided to cancel the next patch for Crysis to work on a this "continuation" to make some money. I can safely say I don't care about the story of Crysis at all. I bought the game for the multiplayer, and if Crytek is the kind of company that will stop fixing multiplayer problems just because they want to focus on their next game so they can bring in more money, I do not want to purchase their games.
