Games Machines
Does anyone know apart from the Wii and the Nintendo DS, which games consoles can run pirated games??
They always seem to be getting more and more expensive hence why Im asking.
Many thanks

Re: Games Machines
Do you ever buy anything rather than just steal it?
Software piracy is theft - plain and simple.

They've gone native, it's a Spanish thing, they are all at it.
Pirates of the Mediterranean

Staggering figures there, 97.8 per cent of all music consumption in Spain was driven by illegal downloads.

Re: Games Machines
Sorry Sid for offending you, but my Anglo Saxon sense of morality went out of the window when I lost my job and have the burden of negative equality thanks to buying during the boom.
Id love to pay €70 per game but its not going to happen.
BTW my pension has been made worthless due to the nice people at the bank/pension company but they get million pound retirement handshakes.
so actually doing what the spanish does not affect my sleep at night whatsoever.
but thanks again for the moral lecture.

Re: Games Machines
I learnt a long time ago that if you can't afford it then you can't have it (unless you steal it of course).

If the firms involved charged a reasonable price, maybe people wouldn't download illegally.

Re: Games Machines
I assume that some posters here never recorded the BBC top twenty with "Fluff" on their reel-to-reel recorders in the 60s?
Sid. My point is that if CDs, DVDs, games etc were a "reasonable" price, no-one would bother to save a few bob on illegal downloads.
Interesting article here regarding game pricing.

I guess you are right but it is still technically theft.Mowser wrote:

I suppose it is down to the rights holders to find a way of enforcing it or accept defeat and reduce the price, but frankly the people that download for free now would not change their habits even then - once a thief, always a thief. They would probably claim that it was against their "Uman Rights".

Re: Games Machines
I can't help noticing what a fanstastic response you have had to your request for pirate sites.
Maybe that should tell you something.

so he wasn't asking for pirate sites.
It's funny how the financially comfortably-off are always so sanctimonious on this subject!

Re: Games Machines
So it's OK to steal copyright material if you can't afford it? And anyone who disagrees with that is sanctimonious?Chunky Monky wrote:

Re: Games Machines
No actually. I watch BBC and ITV on a perfectly legal Freesat box which also legally receives ITV player without a proxy or VPN.SpanishBlue wrote:

I have experimented with other IPTV options to better understand what may happen later this year and have made that information available to other members of the forum. Of course it is highly debatable whether IPTV constitutes any form of media piracy.
Personally I will probably install a suitable dish to continue watching Freesat.
