well, of course you'll all know my take on this. i bought the thing at full price... (idiot) adn i also buy my games at full price (save Halo which i got used) i feel if these designers make a good game i'll pay for it. the other 5-60 games that stare at me as i walk through best buy week to week do just that. sit and stare at me. i don't care to play those games... much less pay for them.
i think its sad that piracy is adding just that much more fuel to the fire of developers not seeing profits and thus not developing for the newish console. of course modding consoles isn't new. my friend alfred has schematics and chips for at least 3 versions of the Playstation...
