TheGreySpectre said:Is console game piracy as rampant as PC game piracy, I always thought less people pirated games for consoles than they did for PCs as was under the possibly false assupmtion that it was harder to get pirated games on to a console, like I dont think I have ever heard of anyone running pirated super smash brothers or anything since I dont see how you would get it onto the system (and please don't give me any details, im just stating it seeme like it would be harder than PC game piracy as people can't put piracy software on their consoles)
