While we are on this, I hope you all realize PS2 is alsoe asily pirated. The only one I can think of where pirating is not rampant is the NGC.


Yeah but is way more simple on xbox. Ps2 takes too much effort and is not worth it.  IMO

not that i do it

Good thing that NGC is not getting nailed with Piracy as it would really screw things up for them.  I suppose if you look through the years 8bit, 16bit, 64bit and now 128bit, they have always found ways of getting rid of piracy. (Not that is is totally out the way, but if compared to Xbox and PS2 there is a huge gap)

Yea, I always bought the pirated NFL2k1 for Dreamcast so I can have another free 50 hours of SegaNet. I don\'t like pirating but $2 for another 50 hours was just too tempting.

Not exactly news to me. This is the first time it has hit the news (mainstream news media, aka. Dagens Industri) though, that is why I posted it.

And yep, I know a lot of PS2 owners have their PS2s moded, but most people do it so they are able to import games. And still, the number of PS2\'s moded (at least here) are no where near the number of Xboxes moded.

Its hurting the Xbox a lot more than the PS2.

Marknadsandelar konsol:
Sony (PlayStation 2+PSone) 44,8%
Microsoft (Xbox) 25,9%
Nintendo (Game Boy Advance+Game Boy Advance SP+GameCube) 29,2%

Marknadsandelar konsol, stationära:
PlayStation 2 - 54,5%
Xbox - 31,9%
GameCube - 13,6%

There is also a list of the 20 most selling games of 2003, no Xbox game makes the list.. but 2 GC titles makes it, eventhough the Xbox has a larger percent of the market then the GC? Hmm?

fastson, I know thinking will hurt your brain, so it would be a good idea to stop.

This thread is just ignorant. Come on people. Pirating has came with the industry since day one. How is this news? It\'s common knowledge, nothing else. I gurantee if the article would of been about the rampant pirating of the PS2, you would of not posted this. Instead, it\'s about a console you dislike, so you and other people try to pass this off as breaking news, when infact it\'s just another article about pirating, something that is all to common.

As for the NGC pirating, I\'m sure it exists, but it is nowhere as large as the other two consoles due to the mini-disc format. Nintendo has always been one to stay away from the easily pirated formats.

I have seen GC games available for download and there has just been a GC emulator released. It only plays a few games at the moment though and it\'s very slow. I haven\'t tried it myself though.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

I thought it was interesting, thats why I posted it.

There has been some discussions about how big the pirating on the Xbox really is, and this article confirmed that its pretty big.

Kurt Angle: I heard about those emus.. One GC game (Bust a Move 3000) can be played at full speed. The rest run at about 1-2 fps. :eek:

Xbox Emulators have gone the furthest, some games can run at ~10fps.

PS2 emulators has just got the browser going, some games work up till the title screen.
