    So, I never bought BioShock. I never stole it, either. It is one thing to screw over EA. It is another thing entirely to screw over the developers, who did nothing wrong and everything right. I'll buy BioShock in an instant once the DRM is replaced.
    For the record, today I made good on that promise. 2K removed SecuROM from the Steam installs a while back but didn't really make a big deal about it. The DRM is gone, the game is still interesting, so today I bought it.

    The devs still lost, though: I bought it for $20 instead of the $50 it was going for when it was shiny and new. Well, if any of their devs end up in my area, I'll buy 'em a beer.

    Now I've got something to keep me amused untill Fallout3 comes out.

    I've already got the collectors Edition Pre-Ordered for the Xbox 360...

    This is probably one of my most anticipated games of the year.... and I play a lot of games... like a LOT of games.

    by last count I had 106 games in my 360 collection alone.


    Bioshock is amazing though... That's easily one of my favorite current generation games so far...

    As for the whole DRM thing, I completely agree. I loath DRM and it's the reason I refuse to buy DRM music or even most PC games.

    I used to play mainly on PC but
    Wasting time installing and configuring things, buggy software that made me wait for a patch before I could enjoy the game I bought, constant expensive upgrades to the hardware, DRM, and generally being much more comfortable on a couch than at my computer led me to switch to consoles exclusively about 7 years ago.. I don't miss PC gaming one bit.

    oh and WormGod, if you're ever interested in how hacked consoles work let me know. I'm a staff member on Xbox-Scene and while I've never modified a Xbox 360 to play pirated games, I'm familiar with the process, and the how any why it works.

    100 xbox360 games x $40 (minimum each) = $4000?????

    Wow, you should consider eBaying them off, there is no way you will still play all of them right? I just recently got a ton of money for my Dreamcast collection on eBay, just a thought.

    So the chances are pretty slim that we will have a group buy for the PS3 Fallout3? With the BluRay player (HDMI), Blutooth, wireless internet, and free of charge online play, I still think in the long run the PS3 will come out the better choice for most people.

    My Dreamcast Collection was about 3 times larger than my Xbox 360 collection I did sell most of that one off though.

    Any game that's a collector's edition or special edition I keep with little intention of selling. probably about 1/2 of my collection is games that I paid less than $15 for off the discount rack or used. That and I've owned the 360 since it launched in 05. Still expensive but not as bad :P


    And Wormgod... if you want a quick way to see whos playing pirate copies of your game...

    Most of these people can't help but SHOW OFF:

    ^1991 Xbox Live users have been tracked playing the game (supposedly some of them are reviewers or testers but I'd be willing to bet 99% of them AREN'T)

    I’ve played thru just about every Aliens game made, the good and the bad. This one looks pretty good. It looks like they used the doom 3 or unreal engine. Ether way I’m looking forward to it.

    Hopefully I’ll be sick of Fallout 3 by then.

    Ya, quite a bit of them would be reviewers, though NONE should be testers. I think the hunt has since been turned over to suits in dark glasses or something, so I could care less. Oh, and just FYI.... some have been caught and "dealt with rather severely". Considering MS is the mommy of the 360, THEY deal with them. According to the last guy I heard about.... he is going to feel the consequences for the rest of his life.
