Another thing is that dvd rips are slowly dying out.....(and so are swap chips, since no-swap chips are so cheap now)
The games are getting bigger, and it is getting much more difficult to put 4.37gb on a 700mb cd-r....
And dvd burners have came WAY down in price......
Also, even if you get a dvd burner you still cant make a 1:1 copy of ALL games....
Cause now we have dvd-9 games, which cannot be backed up on a dvd-r because they are over the 4.37gb size.....
Its a never ending battle..... They come out with something, we come out with a way to defeat it......
Technology.....GOT TO LOVE IT!
