Our commitment to combat piracy and support safer and more secure gameplay for the more than 20 million members of our Xbox LIVE community remains a top priority. All consumers should know that piracy is illegal, and that modifying their Xbox 360 console to play pirated discs, violates the Xbox LIVE terms of use, will void their warranty and result in a ban from Xbox LIVE. The health of the video game business depends on customers paying for the genuine products and services they receive from manufacturers, retailers, and the third parties that support them. This would also be a good time to remind you that the warranty on an Xbox 360 console is not transferrable and if you purchase a used console that has been previously banned, you will not be able to connect to Xbox LIVE. Well haven't they changed their tune? Pretty much sums up the focus on the 360 lately. The statement used to be that they were banned because it opened the door for cheating online, which wasn't fair to all the people paying to play. Fair point I thought.

It said in his description on youtube his friend modded the console to play the game early. Shame piracy doenst make them lower the price of games to a more reasonable amount, most of the games arent worth more than $70, when BigW and JB sell them for $79 why is EB and those others selling MW2 for $118 just doesnt seem worth it if bigger companys can reduce the price by 20-50$

Doesn't seem to be related to any game, but I'd say those who are playing the big ones before release date are sticking a bullseye on their back. Game pricing is idiotic in so many ways. Without going into how much the digital downloads pricing makes no sense, I have no idea how EB are still in business. I was in an EB yesterday that used to be packed out when we had few other options, but with JB in the house, and Big W picking up their game, it was barren. Yet still, they were charging the highest price possible on everything. You know JB often sell Wii games at cost price, or below? I have no idea why, but there you go.

Even Game.com.au online offer $20 off if you buy online, EB dont do jack, and the poor sucker who pays full retail cos they dont know to price match cops the full cost.
