How would bluray stop piracy when its security system was hacked at release? |
If anything it would be less secure considering more people will have the blue ray burners in a few years (with some of those having the programs and know how to burn a game). Lots of people know how to mod systems and load them full of games. So as long as there is internet connection to system then the system will always be vulnerable. As for a decent amount of population that doesn't have internet they might buy a pirated disc off the streets. I am sure there were pirated GCN disc but that was probably a little hard to do considering the disc size/format. It is probably easier to make a Wii pirated copy than GCN. However, people that want pirated games will mainly just do it from the internet...

That's another great reason why bluray and antipiracy don't belong in the same setance unless that sentance is "bluray antipiracy efforts were all hacked on day one".
Yeah, Nintendo has always tried to steer clear of the main type of media formats. They used a basic DVD for Wii and look what happened. Pirated to all hell. Next gen machine will be high capacity discs, but won't be bluray. Nintendo has never cared for the royalties involded with adding video playback to their systems.

maybe they'll adopt HD-DVD. or or or or...blu-ray mini-discs!
