Well, I figured someone would mention the GC. IMO, its probably because the GC is'nt in high demand but thats stupid logic. But the main reason why someone will eventually copy whatever format they will use is because if the PS3, XBOX 2 and GC were to all have a different format, then they're would be no pirating. They dont want that. The piraters that is. You think piraters would actually sit back and let those disc slide? Hell no. They will find some way to pirate. And if that has to do with leaks in the companys or whatever, they'll eventually figure it out.

actually. yes. People can now stream gcn games from their pc to the gamecube.

This would be a good move by microsoft. But, probably only one that delays the pirates. Every system has been pirated. And what have any of us seen that tells us it will be different in the future?

as the companiy's technology gets better, so does the pirate's.

that's life.

I think they should start going after the hacking groups harder.

It will just be a waste of engineering effort. It will never work.

There's only one way to stop piracy. Make it legal. If it's legal it's not piracy it's just copying.

Re: Xbox 2 to ditch standard disc format?

I don't care what format they use, it will eventually be hacked. The strange thing is that if a system is actually really hack proof that could hurt sales. IE if PS3 is easy to hack, and Xbox2 is nearly impossible, people's decisions might come down to which games are the cheapest (ie. buying burnt games) so they would choose the PS3. In relation to music, pirating has actually helped the average consumer, because more and more artists (Jay Z, Obie Trice, Blink 182, G-Unit, etc..) are giving away golden tickets to combat pirating (something that otherwise probably wouldn't have happened if people didn't pirate music).
