This news is only important to those who is a recluse, a loner, who plays ALONE. Coz having an Xbox 360 is about playing TOGETHER.

That was then, the present is now. You cant go on your life without your precious Halo 2 every weekend can you?

Playing alone is not bad, playing alone BECAUSE you opted to slap a chip inside to play backups and pirated copies of games you dont have in your possession, diabling you from going on LIVE, IS BAD. If anyyone's smart enough to decipher where I was going with that post, it should be you.

Well, that's where priority comes in. You are clearly smart enough to prioritize that playing Halo 2 isnt that high on your priority, so people need to prioritize their life. If you cant afford buying the games, you probably cant afford the hobby of videogaming, therefore it is not time yet. Maybe when you have a steady job and income you can revisit the hobby back again. I cant afford taking up paintball weekends or go on a hunt, or sailing, so i wait till i can do so when the income arrives. Taking shortcuts like playing pirated copies , hence playing alone, does not make it right for you to do so.

A lot have been taking shortcuts to hobbies, hence losing the essence and meaning of enjoying it. I would most definitely want to go on actual hunting, but it does not make it right for me to steal a rifle and starting shooting wildlife in some federal reserve. Same analogy here. Prioritize, if you cant afford it, it does not make it right for you to "steal" it.

Attended his seminar when he was in town a few years back, but my financial are not that steady anyway, not as much as i like though bro.

How to insert your gamertag

But sometimes our common sense and our sense of right and wrong gets clouded by our insatiable urge to want something so badly. I want the BMW 7 series, but does it make it right to "steal" it? Just because the opton is there, does it make it right to take that option when you know taking that options means breaking the law?

Coz hacking is very much related about the moral implications of such acts. Surely , that is meant for your own message there. Coz there is no spinning anything to justify wrong deeds, there is justifying wrong mean to a supposed right acts, Robin Hood or not.

We both have our ways about it, im cool with that.

But what intrigues me is what is the thread-starter's ploy in posting this AGAIN? To rejoince in the light or piracy coming? Already the games now are as cheap as an original PC game for the Asian version, yet still people deluded themselves with excuses of piracy. Just get plain simple and tell us that you are an opportunist, who wants nothing for everything, instead of fulfilling your moral obligations.*This paragraph is not directed at you , Mobius*

I think he can answer that question himself, without having his primply short-skirt secretary like you providing excuses. You have more credibility telling your real reason for coming into this thread than providing cover fire for him.
