All of us know of the chipping of sony playstations. Although this is illegal it has not stopped many of the population of playstation owners carrying the action out. It means that people with the chip can copy games at a tenth of the shops rate and therefore rip all of us law obiding people off. It means that people can start black market buisnesses and also rip sony off. A better solution for sony would be to resolve to cartiges or invent a chip to prevent copied games being played.
Will or have they done this on the new PSone, the PS2 or the gamecube?

In my interview with Shigsy, (Your interview?), ...well not mine, but in my... the magazine I brought with MY money.

(Your money?)

Anyway, Shigsy said that the discs are significantly cheaper to produce than a lot of stuff, including cartridges and dvds.

So...

Cheap games all round!

Hurrah!

The Gamecube disks are ment to be almost impossible to copy!

This isn't because of their size though!

They are using brand new technology that may not be DVD but is just as good!

The Bleemcast is illegal so if any Sega owners download it, it is illegal and shows they are not loyal to Sega.
That said, there shouldn't be any sony emulators or Sony emulators. IF that ever happens the games will be too big.

On the import scene, who would what to spend extra money playing on a Japanese, version of a game, when a English version's coming out, patience is needed.
DC-UK did the wrong thing to even bring that disc out for dreamcast owners. They call it official and they've dented their loyalty to Sega, now is NOM so rubbish?
