That was already patched, from what I've heard. #trials

If you torrent the game, and like it, reward the dev for that. Money speaks volumes. If pirates don't put up when the devs do something like this, it's less likely to happen in the future. #trials

But the 5 angry replies here are the minority, and you all know that. Dont even shit me otherwise. Devs, publishers, and whoever else wouldnt work so hard to try to stop it if those people that pirated came back shortly after to buy it. #trials

P.S: Before somebody says, yeah. I have played a few isos on my PSP, but only to check them out, to see if they're worth getting. Sometimes you can't tell from a review.

Sorry but the lines of avg and tech people able to modify consoles (minus PS3) is pretty blurry since almost anyone can do it but for the people who pay for others to do it either are too cautious or believe that they can't do it.
Now I'm not saying everyone should do it (to mod it and frankly while I was guilty of it don't see a good reason to do so besides personal research and to NOT make a profit out of it) but the misnomer of thinking it's too hard or complicated doesn't cut it these days.
Congrats XB360 as your popularity is about to be the new PS2 of your era (for home console), with a big library of games and the easy use to mod it. #modernwarfare2

Last time I checked, you had to have a certain model of Xbox 360, and you needed certain special tools to flash/hack it.
I'd say, at the end of the day, it'll cost you quite a bit after you've brought all the things you need.
DVD Burner - £30/$40
Recordable DVD's - £20/$30
And the tools you need to flash the 360, and the different drives you need to install, plus the modchip makes the price quite high. Add in the fact that downloading 360 iso's takes a long time, and some people are too impatient to wait.
I know what you mean about average people being able to mod 360's now, but even then, they're still in the minority. #modernwarfare2

@PoweredByHentai: I just recently soft modded my PS2 so I can beat Ar Tonelico II by getting a patch for my US version (as in I own the original game) but the only way to play it is by modified PS2. I later got a Undubbed version which all the sounds were actually Dolby Digital when I found out that the US version didn't have a DD track (which they advertised). I can totally understand why you modded yours. It's true once you unlock your system, you have a certain responsibility to not to abuse it. #modernwarfare2

Finally a developer that realise Piracy is a fact and unstoppable force, and if its there, may as well use it.
EA, while not actively doing it themselves, did do simialr with Sims 3, with a neutered copy going on the torrents.
Be interesting if any more dev's took a simialr approach. #trials

Trials is one hard ass game, one of the few games to really just bend you over and unapologeticly have it's way with you.
Cruel, sometimes.
Love it. #trials

Hello gents,
I am on your website looking to procure illicit/illegal software and/or hardware for my videogame system. More specifically, I am looking for Modern War Pear 2. If you or you know of anyone who can modify my videogame console or is willing to sell me "pirated videogames" please leave your full name, your address, phone number and email here or email me at Gotchasucka@IPCybercrime.com
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
HardcoreGamerzzz3321 #modernwarfare2

That being said, iTunes is evil and it has increased my music spending ten fold easily just by having stuff available when I want it, now, and don't have to try to track it down. Plus, $9.99 for a CD sounds so much better to me than $17.99. #modernwarfare2

Record Labels really need to get hip to that fact. I only buy what I really want to listen to, and I'm going to do it through iTunes or whatever digital distribution service gives me a good, DRM-free deal. And I will pay. You raise the prices on their licensing and make it to where it no longer make sense to buy, then more than likely I'll go back to my old ways. Grab vast amounts of data with no regard for anyone. #modernwarfare2

Wonder why most music is awful these days? Because real musicians that make truly interesting creations have stopped making music for sorry a$$3$ like yourself. If this is the attitude they get from "fans" then I am not surprised they would rather just make it for themselves to enjoy.
Essentially with an attitude like yours you don't deserve anything better to listen to than the absolute bottom of the proverbial artistic barrel. Keep thinking you have taste in music. #modernwarfare2

Music is awful these days BECAUSE people pay for a full album to listen to two or three songs, thereby giving the idea to a record label that the entire album's contents are sought after and market research goes further into it in order to tailor-make tracks for the slobbering masses.
If it's from a band I like, I buy it. But these are mostly bands not affiliated with record labels. Or if they are, they have other forums of distribution. Like through iTunes.
Also, you don't have to censor "asses", ass.
And then you try to drag musical taste into an argument about the economics. What a red herring. Come back when you're coherent. #modernwarfare2
