I still hate this whole firmware situation. Its only used for piracy. I hope MS catch every single person who has done it and do something drastic about it. Piracy is the worst form of stealing. I used to copy games a lot, yeah, but now I've realised (as im becoming a game developer) that it takes a lot of work to make a game, and people stealing it just sucks. If you don't like the price of games, wait for them to come down, or head to ebay. Copying is just making everything worse, its really ruining the scene IMO.
dont just assume, thats not right, i havent copied one single game, and havent even thought about doing it, theres more too it than just that, so what, its a plus, If i choose to do it, Then i will unplug that xbox from xbox live!

I agree that piracy is wrong, but how will buying second hand games off Ebay help the game developers? They don't see any more income do they?
Well the person who sells the games could use the money to buy new games.....

That's nice you've had a change of heart.
Too bad it seems to be driven by a desires to gain more for yourself. The same motivating factor that led you to copy games instead of pay for them in the first place. Heaven forbid someone decides to steal all the games you develop!
