For 5 dollars you can buy the opera internet browser and search the web with very good speed on your tv which is most likely larger than your monitor. The virtual console games are good too.

I'm either working, studying, taking pictures and developing film, hiking, cycling, surfing, spending time with my girlfriend... In other words, I have a life. I find living a real life to be much more enjoyable then using my limited time on this world playing video games.

Some people like anime and Japanese culture. I like Japanese culture to, but instead of reading comic books or watching cartoons and dramas, I moved to Japan.

Virtual reality and video games are nothing but pale shadows compared to the things you can experience by turning off the console and walking out your door.

I really respect your replied. Its a decent one. I play 3 or 4 hrs a week. i know whats healthy and whats not. I do know that real life is more important than virtual just like any smart person knows. Im sure gamers know that a virtual weapon isway different than a real one. We gamers are not stupid you know.The same thing goes to some anime lovers. They think that Japan is another fantasy anime place to be, which is not. Japan is just like any other country. You have no idea to how many people I said the same thing you told me just now. All i was trying to tell you is that theres nothing wrong in playing games if you dont play alot. Its just another way of having fun with friends just like any other past time. Ofcourse, It would be bad if you play games for excesive times. I hope u understand me know.

lol yeah i have alot of studies. i wish i could play a bit more but i cant with all the pressure of college.

Not much, I play that much mainly because I just love the competition, the last tourny I went to netted me $30 though. That was quite some time ago though. Back when i used to play Halo 3..a long time ago xD I haven't had the funds or the priveledge to go to any lately though.

I do money matches though..those are fun, espicially for SF4..a $20 money match is the best.

To stay on topic..I own a 360 and Dreamcast..

Its means Piracy has an effect on the industry, and it isn't harmless like some think.

Its just the Sega made it so damn easy to do on Dreamcast..almost everyone did.
All you had to do was burn the ripped file onto any blank DVD..no hardware mods..no special burning techniques, just burn and play.

The reason video game systems are still alive is because of Piracy.
If the Dreamcast had stayed alive and did as well as say, Sony's PS2 and still had the amount of Piracy that it did..it would be outstanding. Company's wouldn't care about Piracy as much, because they were still making money.
Because the Dreamcast bombed, Sega nearly went down the drain, company's took notice and then acted accordingly, adding all sorts of security features so little nine year old Timmy down the road wouldn't be able to play Halo 3 on a nice $2 Verbatim DVD-R DL.

Your perception of right and wrong and is so different from mine it is honestly disturbing.

The reason video game systems are still alive is because of Piracy.

The fact that you capitalize the word "piracy" is, I hope, just a pinky error. But if you honestly think this concept has any roots in reality tells me you live in a fantasy world much more fantastic than the n00bs that come here and think that Japan is like an anime series.

I don't need to tell you the Dreamcast was a much more popular system in Japan than it was in the US (though buyers, like myself, still think it is one of the best systems ever)...and it lived a longer lifespan with graduation-type games and mah-jong games that are a little more adult and have no audience in the US.

But saying "Piracy" is what keeps the video game market alive is as retarded as saying DWI's keep alcohol popular. Seriously. Pull your head out.

I'm not trying to say that it currently keeps it alive, but what if the Dreamcast hadn't failed in the US? Would the other company's(Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft)Have made there newer consoles as protected as they currently are?

Also..I'm astounded at the numbers right now..in 2008, the PC version of Spore was pirated 1,700,000 times..that $8,500,000 down the drain. Damn.
