FTR...I buy most of my stuff. I just have to support the makers of great simulations by laying down the cash as a way to support and compliment them. But I am tired of collecting, and paying extra for DVDs and packages and wrapping and shipping AND!..having to get a crack or having a disc in my drive all the time. I just want to buy it paypal an skip the delays, regions, xtra$ etc.
That said, I've never been a console player.

Took them long enough to crack it!:-P!

Have they found the parts that allow you to play PS1 and 2 games in better graphical quality, and with no read error reliability problems?


If not, than I don't care.

"However, many posting on PS3 forums said that the product would promote piracy and could undermine the games industry."

Hasn't this been done before and what was the result of all this? :?:

We shall see! I think it's headed towards fee/services/time based charges. Maybe everything is headed that way...

cmon guys, this is perfect to sony, because harware is not downloadable, their console sales will go sky high, when people wouldn't need to buy games
but for game makers, it's bad, very bad. so Sony wins, game makers lose.

Pretty sure that game makers are doing fine with the 360 which has been cracked a long time. PC exclusive games are still turing a profit like Total war series, FM etc too.
There's no need to panic.
