Yeah! If we own the consoles then we can put whatever we want in them! Mod chips, dead fish, flash cards, (2+2=...flip over... 4!) Anything we want! They are all mad because they dont make enough money on the games when people copy them and give them away. So what's it cost to get one of these machines in the first place? Not cheap..
(I interject a hearty laugh because my newly installed pop up stopper has just killed again! HAHAHAHA!!)
Anyway my point is that we, as users dont actually own the software. We may own the medium thats it's encoded on, but not the software itself...
WHOOP WHOOP BULLSHIT ALERT! BULLSHIT ALERT!
That's about as far into the EULA that I ever get, depthwise.
I have this piece of paper, but I don't own the words. I mean they are not mine. I mean I cannot have the words on the paper without actually having the piece of paper, right? So I own the paper because of the nine thenths of the law thing, right? but I do not own the words on the paper. Do I own the ink the words are printed with? I can fold the paper in half and make the words say something different, is that OK? I can fold the paper into an airplane and throw it to my friend, right? Anyway, this is giving me a headache and it's not half as funny as I thought it would be and it has moved into a different sphere from console gaming, so I will shoot it dead now...

MERCY KILLING

Not true for console games. Owning the medium, I mean; Pre-owned is a good example; you can buy & sell used console games, because you own the magnetic (or whatever) medium aswell as whatever's contained. You cannot trade in used PC software because technically you are paying for the right to use the software. This argument does not apply. MIcROSOFOTTT ARE JUST BIG BIRCHES.
