It's a pain in the ass when you spend 40 dollars on something new and they get it after a few minutes of downloading

I don't understand how that really effects someone, if you don't wanna spend the $40 then don't.

That effects the people who make the game though and the console in the long run.

That's a different argument, sure pirating is going to have an effect on the developer, publisher, and console in question. but it shouldn't really effect some other gamer.

I've been looking forward to getting a PSP, but my friends are all pirating.  They are all using custom firmware so they can't go on PSN because it wants to upgrade the firmware.  All the excitment just goes out the window when you buy a game, tell your friends about it then they just go download it.  I know people doing it on DS too but it seems far more people are doing it on PSP. 

At that point, I would question who are really your friends.  You could tell these people that they are draining all the fun out of it, and you are thinking of dumping your PSP, because they are killing your interest in it by being thieves.



Just get your PSP pirated then? Its as easy as that...
Dont gotta start a thread to try to make us feel sorry for you bud.

Then why get a Wii over PSP? I doubt any of the consoles will have a better overall offerings than DS or PSP.

I don't really think it ruins anything, why should it matter how they play the game if they are playing it?


Well for one,  you cant play online with them. 

You can, it depends on which CFW you have. If you have M33 you can't access the PSN. Yeah I'll stop there...
