Since it became illegal to sell modchips in the UK I doubt you will find many places openly talking about how to run backups but if you do a search on google you should find some helpfull info.

Yeah, this is a big grey area now that PS2 modchips are illegal. Games that aren't actually out yet have to be played on a modded console, so doesn't this make this thread a bit out of order? I thought it was going to be about a high street retailer who'd broken release.

The discussion of modifying PS2s is illegal, however discussion of copied software is not. However, I do urge those forum members who are involved in the nefarious world of downloading software to perhaps not be so blatant about it.

The current rules can be changed and if the moderators feel that it is causing an adverse affect on the AVforums community then we may be forced to severely limit the discussion allowed. Just please bear in mind that the majority of the forum is not in favour of piracy.

Why don't you wait till its released and buy it then, every one today is only interested in some thing if its for free, bloody pirates.

yes i read that the game is low res too
but thats true of many ps2 games, the ps2 is showing its age now and frankly cant compete with the xbox in terms of graphics. The only ace card it posesses is exclusive content, which if managed correctly should see sony flog a few more units of this ailing console

Its a real shame the release date slipped from tomorrow to next Friday - I agree regarding the graphics (wont be up to the XBOX) but the content - oh the content .. I just want to get on a bike, ride out into Hicksville, pick up a shovel, batter someone with it, then bury him in a shallow grave - and still be back home in time for tea. And of course the latest movie so gets me all hot under the collar - role on the 29th !!

I swear to god these forums have gone down hill, since when has it been acceptable to talk about copied ILLEGAL games?? You guys can't wait a measily week for it to be released?? You're just as bad as the people who leak the game in the first place!!

Maybe you think i'm being a hard on about this but **** me this is an absolute ****ing joke!!

It has never been banned to speak about game piracy and this is not a new topic. In fact there have nearly always been threads about copied games except that a lot of people most probably haven't mentioned they have copied it.

In any case I am closing this thread before it escalates. Remember you are welcome to cast your vote on the sticky poll at the top of the forum.
