even though its easy to pirate the 360 this isnt on any torrent site yet this story is totally fake. The torrent shared was fake..

Eh, this is a baited article. Every GeoW2 torrent that is available right now is fake. There are a few that show many downloads, but peer review seems to show that every one is just a fake. It's not like this doesn't happen with many other games too. A little verification, instead of hear-say, goes a long way in journalism.

when a game is leaked it gets out, just like Fallout 3 Xbox360, Fable 2 Xbox360, and uhm GoW2 Xbox360

The thing with Xbox piracy is you cant play the games online and I can gaurentee that at least 90% of people who buy gears is purely for Multiplayer.

steve30x - 440 days 7 hours ago

You cant play online until the game is released. Also to avoid being caught you need to keep your Xbox 360 unplugged from the internet until its released and then trick the Xbox 360 into thinking you didnt get the rewards until after the games release. I havent done this but Ive read about how to do this.

Yeah, you're missing out on a ton of the game without the multiplayer. If someone wants to miss out on that, they probably wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

Hmm, If piracy get too bad on the Xbox 360 I could see people just modding there 360 for single player games and getting a PS3 for games that go online. Im just saying. Look how things went on the original Xbox. That thing was mod heaven.

Look at pirate bay, Torrents/Games/xbox360---> Far Cry 2(!!), Fallout 3, and PES2009 are all available for download, well before their release dates. That GeoW2 would be there together with them (not yet on PB) is no surprise at all.

Why do so many people think you can't play torrented 360 games online?

Tell that to the 4 people I work with. All got their 360s modded and all download/burn and play the games online over Live. They've done this for over a year.

seriously they are tight and they go Ahrrr lol

but yea piracy will never end, because you can't break the cycle no matter how hard you try, because back in the day when the internet was unavailable to most people, their was always piracy of movies on video tapes and music tapes and so go on it is impossible eventually they will pirate the ps3 just like everything but till then ps3 is 100% more safer than Xbox360 ever was

Sadly, you heard wrong. 5 minutes of looking and I found several torrents, all with comments saying it works.

Let's be fair, we know people have managed to get copies early, as soon as that happens they're readily available on torrent sites.

That may be true but there IS a torrent around I have seen it... someoen was actually playing the cracked version live on a tv streaming website last week. I turned it off when I see he was playing campaign and I hate spoilers!!!

ChampIDC - 440 days 6 hours ago

If you're talking about the stream that was posted here last week, that wasn't a cracked version.

Edit: Just wanted to be sure you weren't misinformed :)
I hate spoilers too. I've been avoiding watching any early gameplay from cracked versions except maybe some multiplayer.

No lol - The amount of priacy around the Xbox is only a tiny fraction of piracy on the PC. Although gears 1 was never planned for the PC it is indeed possible gears 2 might hit the PC sometime in the future - just for more cash :p

I bet you can't say that if you've already been to my place or in China, Taiwan, Thailand, Hong Kong etc. even in Australia I've met people selling pirated PC, PS2, 360 and Wii games at certain PC market if you know where to find them! piracy on 360 lesser than PC? nah...more like the same to me! over here, all 360 being sold are pre-modded! the same goes to PS2, PSP and Wii! you buy a console, you'll get at least 5 free games - pirated one of course!

Actually more Exclusives are being moved to Xbox360 more than ever because its easier to write games for. But as the more Pirate game go to Xbox360 you will see less Exclusives being done for the Xbox360. But the PS3 will be hacked some time.

Don't forget that you need a modded system to pirate games as well. It's much more difficult to pirate a 360 game than a PC game. I don't think it can be called a rampant problem yet. I do expect it to get gradually worse, though.

Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report

Kushan - 439 days 7 hours ago

Just because the console is easier to pirate doesn't mean publishers and developers will stop doing exclusives for it.

Factor in the following things:

The number of 360's out there minus the number of 360's pirating games out there over the number of PS3's out there. There may be a lot of 360 pirating, but you'll still be left with more legit 360's than PS3's simply because the userbase is that much bigger, currently. Plus it's also currently selling better than the PS3.

Now, factor in the attach rate of both consoles. The 360 is on something daft like 8.1, while Sony is on something like 4 or 5. This means that even if there were the same number of consoles out there, the 360 would still be selling more games - this is what they'll care about, how many games they're SELLING.

And finally, development costs. It's so much cheaper to make a 360 game than a PS3 game. The development kits, the software, it's cheaper than the PS3's, plus because it's easier to make a 360 game, you pay less costs for programmers and such.

This is why the PS3 is loosing so many exclusives, because it's simple business sense - it's cheaper to make a 360 game AND you'll sell more units on it. That's not changing any time soon, even with the (what looks like) ludicrous piracy.

Seriously, it's an endless loop, people download because of DRM, DRM gets stronger because of downloads... of course pirates set that in motion but as of right now... it's going to be a rough road for those who played it nice. Stop being nice and honest because in this world, you'll always end up last.

outlawlife - 440 days 3 hours ago

funny thing is i bought spore, but then i downloaded a cracked version because the drm really agitated me but that is the only game i've ahd to do that for so far because i don't play many new PC games

i don't agree with pirating games or anything for that matter, i used to pirate everything when i was a teenager but i've grown out of it and grown a bit wiser i suppose

from my experience the pirate game just isn't as fun, i enjoy the excitement of going and picking up a game on release with a couple of my friends instead of sitting in front of my torrent client

the people who pirate, especially before the actual release are very little more than scum, they just think they will get some recognition or internet cred for having the game early

It just annoys me to no end that pirates don't realize(or care for that matter) that less profit = less chance of a sequel. It'll obviously be fine in the end with a franchise as big as Gears, but lower budget, less popular games can really be affected by piracy.

To fully understand this we must look back, way back. Around 2005 when the 360 was being made there was concern over this same matter. Therefore Microsoft must react like fast ninjas, Ninja Gaiden Ninjas, or something fast... Anyway if they do not fix this issue we will all be doomed into free games, yes free games. However with these so called free games there comes a price... A free price. But the real point is that it is illegal to download or make unauthorized copies of said IP. If you do make unauthorized duplications of extraordinary, juice like a straw..berry... you could end up facing fines, jail time, etc.. Although if you go to the right jail you could probably get a ps2 in that mug and really just go at it with the old school games.

Seriously though they need to get on this fast. ASAP. As in right now OR ELSE!

GOW 3 will probably be multi-platform in fact I would be surprised if it wasn't
