Nobody really cares about extra functionality if they can get their hands on the most recent games for under 15 bucks.  <br><br><br><br>This said, piracy kept the console manufacturers away from our country, which made it a PAIN to get any kind of legal gaming gear.  (Sure, you can get stuff that's smuggled in, but try getting any sort of warranty on that..)  Only last year did microsoft begin officially selling the xbox here, and piracy has made them lose a fair wad of cash.<br><br><br><br>...(prepares himself to get massively flamed)<br><br><br><br>So, to be honest, I have to admire MS for their 'bravery' in going after our market. If the 360 makes it harder to flood the market with pirate copies of the most recent games and encourages other companies to officially start offering their stuff here, I'm backing them up. I really hope that mod chip takes a looooooooooong time to be developed.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PepeLePiu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 22nd 2005 11:36AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
