Can KOTOR2 beat Halo2 in sales?

[envida]

I have no problem with people buying the game to play on a modded Xbox because that is not pirating.

I know it's not quite the same thing, but I find this statement a bit ironic and a lot hypocritical.

 

By definition, a modded XBox (or PS2) is stealing, since the reason for modding such a system is usually to be able to play games you wouldn't be able to without dishing out extra money to do so. For instance, most people have modded PS2 systems so they can play "burned" games. What are burned games? That's right, games that are borrowed or rented and then copied for FREE. Now unless the reason for "modding" a XBox differs greatly from PS2, then it's basically the same thing.

 

Btw, I'm not condemning anyone with a modded console system. But I just found it an ironic choice of words that I quoted considering that if it were up to the game companies, NEITHER pirating nor modding of systems would be permitted.

Where did you find that definition! It would be like saying just because you have cd-burner on your pc you only have it to pirate games!

There are many reasons for modding a xbox, since Xbox is basically a pc, you can use a modded xbox as a server, linux, media center etc. Personally I use it to stream music and movies from my computer to the xbox, I hardly play games on it at all.

So I don

The only title that could seriously threathen Halo 2 would be Half-Life 2, i've never seen such a following when considering those two games. And concerning piracy, yes, i do download games to the PC from time to time, but there shouldn't be a moral standpoint behind it, i do it because i can.

Buying the game brand new from a store or online to play on a modded Xbox is not pirating, using it to play "burned" games is.

U.S. gamers have been modding xboxs for years so they could play japanese games that don't get released here on their xbox, but they still buy the game.

 

a lot hypocritical.

I don't own a modded xbox or pirate games so how am I a hypocrite?
