people "backup" games because their expensive, and a backup you dont get all the features,
but they get all ho0ked into it.. if it were 5 bucks and u could get it for free what would be better?

My wife is a Ass. Manager @ TOYSRUS she get great deals on Xbox titles . Platnium Series games for 17.99(after employee discount) vs 19.99. Hell you can't beat 13 Dreamcast Games for 5.00 apiece (liquidations). When Montgomery Wards went out of Buisness I got a whole shit load of nin64 games for 1.00 apiece.
Prices have no bearing on Archiving your collection . I have 3 boys (8-12) and they TRASH there games (and mine if I don't pay attention) so I learned along time ago that if I was to EVER keep my collection I needed to back them up . It's not Illegal , it is our right to have a backup to preserve the original (in the U.S. anyways).
Poll wise , I could care less what the price is , I back it up regardless . For 1, I paid for it and 2 ,I have that right . .....................peace
FECK not all people are pirates & I would appreciate if you would stop calling me one cause I come to this forum . That is what you said right ?
Know the U.S. Law ,,(this is where I live)
It is against the law to reproduce copyrighted material for the purpose of selling it to third parties. US Laws only allows for you to make one backup copy of any software or media for personal and archival purposes .

Feck, are you honestly this stupid that you really don't understand why people make legal backups of their own property? Alright, let me explain it real slow.... shit breaks. Entropy affects everything, in the end, and do you really want entropy's incarnation (say, your year-old daughter) to destroy a fifty dollar product? Well, no, not really. So why not invest $40 and some money for the media so you can lock the original up safe and tight so it doesn't ever get used, much less destroyed?
Hell, I'd do it even if it was illegal. I'm NOT going to let $50 just get flushed down the shitter. And, quite frankly, if you're honestly so stupid that you don't understand this, then maybe you should go somewhere else, where your limited views can be more easily accepted (I don't know if xbox-retard.com exists yet, but I'm sure you can reserve the domain name for yourself).

I hate people that say that they buy games when ok they may buy one game for every 20 games that they download.
I only buy games that i really like and so far i have bought 10 games but i have downloaded about 50 games so far and deleted 30 games as they are total crap and not what i tought that a xbox game should be,I hate another game converted from the pc.The price of games has always been my pet hate and $MS and game companys will not listen so pirates will always be there.
I can not understand why you can but the latest dvd movie or lastest music cd for $20AUD but have to pay $99 AUD for a game. If software companys want to stop pirates there is only one way to do that and that is to drop xbox or pc games to the price of music cd's or movie dvd's.
Until then i will copy these games.
You will find that most people on here are pirates that will not admit it,which piss's me off as i know who they are

The cost is in the software on the medium.
Besides the average breaking consept, I have purtched 4 copies and got the first free with the system of Tetris for gameboy. The reason people physicaly stole the game medium. If I had a archival system for gameboy I would have not had to buy mutible copies, just a cheaper medium.
Besides being able to have the JSRF without the dual disk menu is nice.
Piracy is bad, support programers for without them there would be no game.

I am also in AUS, and this is another point that I have discovered reading the newsgroups. Why are they always $A99.95 or $109.95 here????
Reading the newsgroups, people in the states seem to be able to get new games for like $US30 usually - some maybe dearer. That's like $A50 at the current exchange rate. Even before the exchange rate went up it was still like $A60-65.
We have gotten a couple of new releases at a cheaper price - Rally Fusion $A79.95, MX Firefly $A49.95 and a few others.
However, people can find bargins at EB for $US9.99 sometimes (can't remember which game it was) but for $A15 I would go out and buy it even if I didn't like it!!!!!!!!!!!
Our bargains are if you can find a new release at $A80 or less.

It's called people will not openly admit to breaking laws when it involves writing it, afterall, why leave a trail of proof when there is no good reason to?
Doesn't make sense to ever say you commit copyright infringement.

Once again Mage you have lived up to your name (wise person). Whether you do backups or go Hammy's route is your business but comming out and saying it is just plain dumb. Leaving a chain of evidence isn't bright.
