With every game costing 50 bucks, that's 50 * X bucks we lost. (Of course, that's just an excuse for raising the prices even more, and they're way beyond even now.) They won't mention that many of those blanks are used to archive stuff, to create photo-CD's, to create legal backups, (and that many programs and games won't fit on a single CD). They also "forget" the little fact that people who get an illegal copy wouldn't necessarily get the original, too. Also, they don't really encourage people buying originals: The stuff gets ever more expensive and has less gimmiks. What they have to do is lower the prices and provide a little more content, and those who would buy if they could afford will buy again (I'm to happy that I rarely game these days.)A good example of how you have to do it is the newest Metallica Album. If you grab the limited Digipack, you get a free DVD with rehearsal footage - the whole album on DVD, without paying a cent more. But I digress.</blockquote>
