And how do you think that helps the industry?
I'm interested in legal ways of undercutting the second hand games industry, like a proper returns mechanism, incidentally. (For a console, a return would de-authorise the game of you've copied it to the hard disk and remove it from your achievements/gamerscore, for instance)
Moejoe - I think you misunderstand the current hack. Unless you have a previous keyvault dump via Xell, there's nothing which can be done, and most people won't have done that (I don't even have a working 360, I'd add, I just subscribe to "know thy enemy").
There's no proof that cheaper casual games suffer from less unauthorised copying. Actually, there's some evidence the rate's higher because of perception-of-value issues. More, cutting games price (which I agree is a good idea, for other reasons, just not that much) is basically impossible on consoles because the platform holders take a fixed cut, not a percentage.
