I really dont see whay so many people are trying to justify piracy just because they think games are overpriced.
Cars (and lets face it, most other consumer goods) are ridiculously overpriced - do these people see carjacking as ok? No, didn't think so.
The basic upshot is, MS want you to pay for the games that developers spent 2-3 years making. I dont think that's too much to ask, considering that is their revenue stream.
Pricing itself is another issue; I agree that £40-£50 for shovelware is a rip-off, but no one is holding a gun to your head to make you buy and/or play games. Its a
choice you can make. Dont
want to pay? Then dont play. Simple.
Now if like me (and many others), your 360 has chewed the shit out of your discs, then I can definately see a a valid point in being able to legally make backups and play them. The problem is, that allows all the moochers and freeloaders to play copies of games they have no intention of paying for. Unfortunately its a double-edged sword. If MS had the decency to replace discs that have been ruined by their shitty dvd drives, then the whole 'backup' issue becomes a moot point. All you'd have to do would be return the disc for a replacement, and problem solved!
They do if u buy your games at game crazy disk protection cost 3 dollars extra and they replace scratched and even broken disk for free with receipt for a year. cost another 3 dollars for disk protection on the new disk though. But i will gladly pay 3 dollars for a replacement
