speaking off of personal experience I know plenty of people including myself that proudly haven't spent a dime on any 360 games in a couple of years but own every game possible. I also know some people who do the same with the psp .. so why is it that piracy affects the psp more than the 360.. especially since its easy as pie to pirate both?? all I read around the net is how its not worth developing for the psp because of piracy..

Fuck you you fucking piece of thieving shit.

You are fucking PROUD that you have all games but havent bought a single one.
Well FUCK YOU.

Note: Fishie does not approve of piracy.

I suppose you're using the term "friends" in its broad sense. Very broad.

I thought you need to mod 360's hardware to play pirated games, whereas on the PSP it's much easier.

On the PSP there's also the "problem" that many people buy the console not for PSP games, but for media features and playing emulators and such.

Nope all you have to do is flash the disk drive. which is all to do with software. you dont have to change the hardware or attach things to it.

Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Awesome. You know i was gonna say since its MS i would love to steal money out of their pocket. Honestly i feel for independant companies who need to make money but clearly 360 is doing amazingly well irrelivent of the burn factor.

Well i don't do online so deciding whether to get one has been made that much easier now.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
