Is this guy paying for YOUR game?

hahaha I lol'd xD but i think you have to remove the poll because you can't ask users that.

1.5 mil doesn't seem nearly enough tho, they went easy on him.

The poll is kinda a joke... I don't expect any pirates to vote here

But if they did, who know what'd occur

(I can guess)

That's gotta suck and now their thinking of pushing release dates in Australia back to what they use to be NSMB was the released here before other US and Europe now Australia might go back to having to wait weeks or months for releases to come to there

[KHRZ]

The whole pushing Australian release date argument is BS, If Australia gets the game first, others will pirate from them, and if other regions gets it first, Australians will pirate from those. If they want a solution release the game everywhere at the same time.

Even of they do someone somewhere will still pirate it unless they use cartridge's or something like that like they used back in the N64, Snes and NES days then piracy will still be a problem cause for some people it's easier than buying the disc but pirating a cartridge now that's something that's pretty much useless since you might end up spending more than the actual game might cost
