BUT, and the BIG but is, if you go out and steal that car stereo, or, umm, buy it from some guy in a trench coat on the corner of 23rd and main at midnight, then, isn't that wrong? Wouldn't that make it so that the vendors of that stereo have to increase security of where they keep their product to prevent people from stealing it, thus increasing the prices? Sure, there's some people out there who may want to just play a backup, but please, be real, most people on here who say they want to make a backup are only making a backup either from their friend's friend's copy, or they are making it from a ripped copy from some group like the DS team or something. All this encouraging illegal use of the jacked, umm, Backed up, copies of games is what makes them so expensive in the first place! I just wish this site hd more on modding and the games and alot less of newbs trying to jack games, or trying to mod their box when they don't even know how to search the forum for instructions to do it ... Lame!
prices don't increase solely due to illegal acquisitions of media--prices increase out of greed. if these companies were generous enough to lower their prices in a piracy-free world, i imagine they'd be generous enough to allow a certain population of people acquire them freely while still selling at a fair price. yet massive corporations no longer compete over lower prices but instead form agreements to drive prices up. combat greed with greed. no, it doesn't make the world a better place, but at this point,what will? live for the moment. :-)

Just because a company makes a lot of money, doesn't give anyone the right to steal from them. If you're unhappy with the price of something then you can always exercise your right to not buy it, or wait a while for the price to come down.
Edit: Also, modding!=stealing, backing up games you don't own==stealing

i don't disagree with you about not purchasing, but you're making the universal claim that acquiring these games without paying is stealing, whereas in reality it is perfectly legal in many nations.
modding is most definitely not stealing. stealing, by definition, is taking what does not belong to you for your own purposes without permission. altering hardware and software that you have bought does not fit this definition whatsoever.
morality is relative. right and wrong are illusions created by a society that can't exist with the chaos natural to the universe.
uh oh...i'm not helping, am i? better shut up.

!= means not equal for those that don't know (I probably should've just written "not equal" :) )
