Now that spark-plug Steve has taken over he can't seem to hand them out, as though he is afraid of being hax0red on his SR account or perhaps cyber date-raped by an eleven-year old ...

I'm not being funny with you, just that I don't approve of illegal games, what you do is your business but I'm just trying to save you a warning, which the staffies love handing out :P
My copy of VT isnt illegal, ive got it here... paid for with good english money.
Hush hush now ladies.
Mind you, that was before the Staffies were taken over by the biggest "nancy" in the entire SR chain :p

Because if you read the rules discussing illegal games isn't allowed here and you aint the brightest spark by admitting it. It's just wrong.

It may be illegal to do that, but why would I get banned from this site for it?
I'll download or get the games on my mem stick that I wouldnt particularly buy, play them for a bit and probably never play again. Like V Tennis, Spiderman, Mercury, Twisted Metal etc etc.
Games like Pro Evo, GTA and the new WWE Smackdown game, i'll buy and keep the UMDs of, because I do actually want them and i'll play them for ages.
*updated
Show me another handheld that can produce the level of quality the PSP does.
My Xbox was actually less than that when it game in a five game bundle with controllers (I know what some of you "fanboy" types are thinking - that's because it's no good ... well hur hur hur) And when I bought a Gameboy Colour (my only handheld) I got it for the equivalent of £80 with Pokemon Yellow.
It just seems excessive because although the graphics and processors are vastly updated it seems to be more of a "fashion statement" for many people (buying one to socialise) don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're buying it for that reason, but to me handheld is handheld and being able to play games on a Gameboy and Phone is enough for me.
The games are now superior so they've decided to up the pricings, they now retail at about £30-40 rather than the £20 or so which seemed very reasonable for the Gameboy cartridges. Consider the manufacturing costs aren't exactly any higher to create these new discs, why are the games so much?
