i'm one of the ppl that thought about downloading it but dont like the game even tho the graphics an story seem pretty good, tho the game play didnt seem finished or needed alot of work from what i saw on the demo in my opinion. But like most ppl i do donwload games early to see if it would be worth purchasing because there are alot of crappy games out there that developers rush out half ass and months/years down the line fix the issues or try to and still dont get it rite kinda of like gears of war 2 which piss me off to the point i cant find myself wanting to purchase a crappy half ass game.

If you ever go on Xbox Live (even after you play the game) I'm sure that they have their ways to find out.

Maybe that was the plan, release on p2p before hand, ban all the peeps who play it on live.
Im gonna get the game though to play on single player, wont sign in to my live profile though and will remove my memory card so no saves for a week and then I will run through AGBX

Um... no. There are still save states and your gamer profile shows the last games you played and the acheivements you racked up, so its unavoidable. If you download this and choose to play early, then you face the consequences of your actions.

Not sure about this. The rental chains typically get the games LATE. So if it has a street date of Tuesday, they get it on Thursday or Friday, and that's the drop shipment from UPS. As for retail chains, the earliest I've ever seen some titles is a week or so out, so it's possible. I know at our store we weren't allowed to break open the box, let alone remove the product from the store!

Obviously you wouldn't bust it open and be like, "hey boss, I'm taking on of these home with me!!" You'd be stealing it, which means you would hopefully try to cover your tracks and be stealthy about it.
It was probably a Gamestop employee. Those guys do all types of scumbag moves like selling broken gear, poor quality gamepads with sticky sticks, giving game to their employees then re-shrinkwrapping them and selling them as new. Piracy doesn't seem to far off from something they'd do and not think twice about.

if u played it with no hard drive attached im sure Msoft wouldnt know. but if u got achievements on the game. the hard drive would store the date you got the achievement.
anyway. its not worth it to me to play burned games. the xbox is still too much to buy again just to risk getting the consoles MAC id banned.

It's easy to say the movie and music industry is evil, but it's harder with games. Games are pretty expensive though, and it sucks to blow $50 on some crappy game. Hell it even sucks to waste $5 renting some crappy game.
The "Download illegally and play before I buy" thing is usually what I do. Well sometimes. You can really only do that with the PC cause for console games you gotta have already modded your system. Sometimes I know a game's gonna be good so I don't waste time with that. Other times I download and play, and I'll have fun for a week or two, and then be sick of the game so I'll just end up never buying it. That's one of the cases where I probably should have bought the game but didn't.
So far the best thing to work against piracy for me would have to be metacritic. All those aggregate review scores make it easy to see how good or bad a game is. The days of being stuck with 1 magazine that says Superman 64 is a 9 out of 10 are over. This really helps with console games now. It really sucks balls that you have to do research before buying a game, but if you don't do that research you'll end up with a crapper.

If it's a good game then it will sell. If it's another... "I'llplayitforaweekandfugedaboutit" game then it's sales will reflect that.
All the piracy does is help people to figure out the crappy games before they spend $60

My son played this whilst I was @ work today and I have a save game on my profile, luckily it wasn't connected to the internet. Should I delete my Live ID (ie formst my memory card and start again as I don't wanna get banned?

It's difficult to say exactly "what" causes a console to be banned, because no one really knows. Typically it happens around the time of a major game release (Halo 3 for example) or a Spring/Fall System Update.

I used to be all for pirated stuff as it gave me an oppurtunity to test stuff before I brought it, but there was a headline today in the local newspaper that PROFITS FROM PIRATED MOVIE DVDs, GAMES AND MUSIC HELPS FUND TERRORISM!!! It's the same underworld that sells pirated stuff that's giving money to Taliban and Al Qaeda and what not to continue and propagate their dastardly acts!
I have vowed not to buy/download any pirated stuff, and neither will I allow my parents to do it, as I don't want to lose my sleep over the fact that I helped blow up hundreds somewhere in another part of the world, or even in my own neighbourhood!
Spread the message people, and stop pirating... I don't care about the loss of the big companies, but I will never allow terror outfits to profit in any way!
