[quote="The ED! Foundation":0e436][url=http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2909760,00.html:0e436]Gamespot[/url:0e436] has an article which basically bucks the trend (much like what happened to the music industry and it's fear of "file sharing") that PIRACY is significantly affecting video game sales, and the health of the industry. It's obvious that the industry couldn't be any healthier, thanks in part to console sales (again this is JUST for console's, although it is just as easy to pirate these games as it is to pirate PC games).

This isn't suprising considering that the PS2 accounts for more than HALF of SONY's annual revenue. Seriously.

No.

Fucking.

We knew this for years now. The reason that software prices are astronomical is because of warez. They said that if warez didn't exist, game & software prices would be anywhere between 45-60% lower than they are now.
