Hmm, Piracy. Tricky subject. Most people pirate games due to costs - why purchase a 50-60 dollar game when it can be downloaded for free?

When I first bought Doom 3, it was $60. It was Doom 3 and I had been waiting for it for 3 years, so hell yeah I bought it. I bought Halflife 2 as well, $50. Then it was Unreal Tourny 2k4, another $50. Then came call of duty, republic commando, starcrraft, wow - eventually costs added up. Eventually, the price of 4 games became $200. For four games that were beaten and hardly ever played again. $200. Xbox 360 games cost $60 a pop, and thats absurd. That is just BEYOND absurd. Gaming itself is just far to expensive. I probably have over $2000 in ps2, xbox, and gcn games, and $1000 on PC games.

I refuse to purchase a ps3, because the better version is $600. Each game will be from $60 to $100. That is whats going to kill sony in the next console war - its costs. Nintendo probably anticipated gaming cost, so they kept the tech familier - they have a suped up gamecube coming out, and I'll be buying that for sure. It doesn't have the super duper graphics the ps3 and xbox 360 have, but It'll have affordable games and, quite possibly, MORE games.

Game piracy happens due more to cost then anything else. A $10 decrease won't hurt that much.

I take him up on his offer, and I will face him in the ring, because even the notion that I can kick his ass riles me up.
