You hit the nail on the head that time. Kazaa is the worst for trying to get full PS2 games its almost imposible same with all systems. Bittorent on the other hand it is the best for getting those kinds of things.

Renting and burning is highly illegal and I do not condone it. In fact I hope you have to pay for your actions in the future.

Another thing that is highly illegal is robbing banks and crashing planes in buildings.

lol, I was really aiming that post at DINAMO788.

Yes i know but it's not "highly" illegal just illegal in plain text.

i've once owned a modded ps2 and i can say it isn't worth it!!
we don't give the games its true value because we can have 10 games each day..we have so many games that we don't play any..when i realized it i sold my modded ps2 almost for free and bought a new one
that was the best thing i've done
it really was

I'm not so sure about that. Were you having fun playing the modded games? or sad and not happy that you had tons of games free? People tend to not play the pirated games as much is the one's they bought.

i was having fun
but its a strange thing that i have more fun with the originals
and i really try hard to complete the games 100% and with the modded ps2 that never happened..every single day i had new games..i never completed a game back then due to quantity
nowadays i make 100% on every game i own
gt4 is 60% complete
devil 3 almost there..just finishing hard mode
even final fantasy 10 i completed the game with all aeons and grids on every fighter
all weapons..everything
i have much more fun now
you should try that too

@ maranhao: Can you please type your posts out in normal sentences, instead of being similar to Haiku poetry? It makes things easier to read. Thanks.

Why is everyone assumes that the lack of BR burners will reduce the ps3 piracy? IMO it will not affect it at all, the first ps2 copies were on cd not DVD, because the first games were shiped on cd instead of dvd, and in some cases even if a game was coming on dvd, the actual size of the game was not above 700mb, even with pure dvd games like devil may cry, copies was still available on multiple cd's (3 in the case of DMC)

**hoverbike** · 06-14-2005

I should try that too? I have been doing that for a long time and i bought around 7 PS2 games and only 3 of them has been competed. I still think it doesn't make a difference since if you burn a game every day then yes you will not compete any so to solve the problem don't burn anymore games til you beaten the last one.

that argument is pure bs tho. with places like gamestop, ebgames, and even ebay, games are cheaper now than ever. i remember buying street fighter 2 for the like $70 when i was younger. it was the only game i got in a while and i loved it. like i said, piracy hurts the gamers in the end. i'll use the same example i used earlier: no metal gear, no zelda, no mario bros, no gta, no ff7. all of our favorite games came out because the sony's, squares's and nintendo's wanted to make money. and if they don't make money, because everyone is pirating them, then there goes our beloved pasttime.

consoles are luxury items, meaning if you afford it, cool; if not that's understandable. it's not your RIGHT to have a video game system. it's one thing to be like i pirate games cuz i want to, deal with it. but when u try to rationalize your theft, then there's a problem

im not gonna be holier than thou tho. ive dled games b4. shit i can get any ps2 game i want at any time if i wanted to. but in the end your hurting yourself. if they're not making a profit, then they're going to stop making games.

on a side note, there's a helluva faster/easier way to get games than SHlT torrents. the only thing torrents are good for are downloading linux distros over 4gb. other than that, they suck big time. any p2p network (and yes torrents are p2p) suck. it's good to have this convo tho. hopefully ps3 games are hard to pirate, just like the gamecube games are.

I would agree bittorrent is more reliable on really popular files. Things like systm or podcasts that are really popular have files under 200mb and they download like crazy. I was getting over 300kbps on it, and that’s faster than anywhere else on the web period. Even the direct download link was going at about 70kbps because their servers were swamped. Put it this way: If you use bittorrent right, then it will download fast for others. If everyone left their connections open after they download it, it would be perfect.

If you know of a faster way, please do tell. I'd like to try it out.

**hoverbike** · 06-14-2005

The only thing faster then bittorent is maybe a quick link? or a non-busy server but I don't get any speeds higher then 80 KB/s on bittorent and my conection is running at 3000 kbps.

**ishould** · 06-14-2005

If you can find a direct link on a server that's not being swamped, I'm thinking of more popular things. If there are 500 seeders and only 300 leechers, you are going to get the fastest download possible on your system. I'd like to see it become more useful (AKA streaming video or large files that are embedded in websites) which currently it's not set up to do.

Piracy is always going to be a problem, and this may not be that case for consoles but forblank CD's a portion of the price goes directly to the music industry even if you arent burning music also they limit the amount of music you can put on 1 CD ever notice how your 700MB CD can only hold 17 songs while your 250MB MP3 player can hold over 40?

That’s just for the audio burnt songs. I have a CD MP3 player and I have over 16 hours worth of songs at just over 500mb

It will be intressing what kind of anti-piracy measures sony is going to employ on ps3 and how long it will take to brake.
Personally i have enjoyed more when i buy my games and play em properly, than to have plenty of copies and no time to play them as they deserve.

exactly!!
when we have a lot of games we dont play them like they deserve because we have access to many!all my games are original

**Rainman** · 06-14-2005

i don't plan for modding or chipping my ps3 because i chipped my ps1 and my x-box and both suffered problems a couple of months after they had the chip set installed so never again.

I also feel tha boredom o games is freuent either because you get more and better games or you just feel you need more gmes before completion
of one.

yeah!!dont do it again..just thinking..if your consoles doesnt have suffered problems...would you mod ps3?thats extremely unfair for sony and for game producers

**hoverbike** · 06-14-2005

As i heard from lots of people "Mod your PS2 right the first time!" and the reason your not playing the games to the MAX is the fact because you have access to all the games.

And to prevent braking your ps2 don't mod use a boot disc insted.
