My ultimate "gaming" mouse, is actually not a gaming mouse at all. It has the basic buttons (who needs more anyways) but has a very cool feature : I can recharge it with a micro usb connection WHILE playing ... This is great when when the battery runs low during a long gaming session, the battery indicator on the mouse turns red. Plug it in and continue to play ! Also this mouse works on a glass table ... which can not always be said from other L.A.S.E.R. mice. Falling for the "gaming" tag on the box is for idiots and signature geeks.

I am a huge fan of PC gaming and find that this article makes good sense. I played a ton of games that I downloaded illegally, but now with the Steam platform, this has changed. For two main reasons : 1) The Steam platform ensures that you cannot lose / brake your CD's, as the content is downloaded from the "Steam Cloud". Purchasing a game on steam stays linked to a user. 2) Steam has sales regularly, pre-order discounts and sales on complete packs. This allows for users to purchase old games or complete pack at a fraction of the cost. The games I used to play illegally, I have now purchased on Steam. This provides the production houses with at least a fraction of the income, as the game would otherwise be played as a pirated version. Also I download a game illegally, I play it and if I like it, I buy it on Steam, so quality of the game is also a factor. So all in all, yes, piracy is theft, but you can at least try something before you buy, which is a good concept. And releasing demo's of games is not the same, as for most games, the demo is not representative for the complete game.

My opinion : He got ripped off. Now there is a happy support service employee with a signed Xbox 360. He'll prolly sell it on ebay...
