@jones72: I agree, even though piracy was rife on the PS2, it was also rife on a little system called the Dreamcast, and people still chose the PS2 over that because, well... DVDs. They went so heavily onto the PS2 side that it caused Sega to drop out of the hardware business entirely.
Console piracy seems like less of a thing nowadays, though. Console manufacturers seem to have a lot of that stuff buttoned up in a way that makes it more difficult to crack, which means most of the time the piracy doesn't become widespread until closer to the end of a console's life-cycle when they're starting to stop selling the games, which is how it should be done, anyhow, for the sake of archiving and preservation, not for the sake of free shit.
hell yes, i'm definitely getting that wireless reciever when it comes out!! does anybody know if you'll be able to use more than one controller on a single reciever, or is it just one controller per reciever?
