I was utterly disgusted to find out that Fallout 3 has already been leaked and is available to download on the net.
I am going to keep this pretty straight and to the point. Don’t be one of those leaching maggots that download and play it without paying for it. Have you seen the footage? Have you read the previews? This game is looking top notch and it seems like a ton of heart and soul went into its creation.
So please, I implore you, put together the money to buy it and don’t be one of those fools who downloads it. If we support the games industry then the games industry will support us. There is a reason that Gears of War 2 is not coming to PC and we already know that EndWar is being released later on PC for piracy reasons alone.
If you are one of those people who may consider downloading it or getting it from a friend who has, think about all the people that poured their hearts into this game so that we could all enjoy it.
Do the right thing.

If you’ve watched any developer vids you’ll see a lot of the time these guys don’t get to see there families for months on end. It’s not cool
thanks Nick for the post it is the right thing to do maybe one day we’ll get to that point and gaming will become more affordable.
Just a fun fact for most of you out there the PC marketing South Africa is Cheaper than anywhere in the world. well we’re fighting to keep it that way at least 😉

Okay, i’m struggling to post comments again. Urgh.
Aaaaanyway.
First off – If I have to download a game like this here in
SA,it’ll freaking bankrupt me.Buying it works out WAY
cheaper.
Secondly – These companies should seriously start looking at
their security or think twice about who they give full review copies or whatever to,because these leaked copies
can only come from the inside.

the game reviewer, first he should know better, second he should be fired and blacklisted so he never gets to review a game ever again.

I also think we as gamers owe it to the developers to report piracy.
Screw black listing the jerk, I say sue him, take everything and the shirt off his back then tar and feather him. Then when your done throw his ass in jail with someone who likes guys dropping the soap!

Agree it is going to cost a lot to download, but
that is not going to deter the ass hole at the free-market to do it and sell 50 copies. They should make review copies expire at launch or something. Or reviewers need a special
login on xbox etc when they want to play the game.

Agreed you’ll never stamp out piracy, it will always just break down to the moral choice.

Fyi, the copy on the torrents is apparently a X-Box 360 copy and not a pc copy according too http://www.nma-fallout.com/

Well anyway the only people that will benefit from this are the sons of bitches who already have modded consoles so they already have no morals and will one day burn in the fiery pit of hadeys while their genitals are prodded with sharp pointy sticks…

I just saw there are a bunch of videos on Youtube showing gameplay from hacked Xbox version(about 10 gameplay videos each about 6 minutes long). . .I tried to look away but I couldn’t,please forgive my weakness 😥

Anybody who has this game on their played games should get an instant ban on live.

tbh, i think the 360 market has many more people who wouldnt know a thing about downloading 360 games than the pc market, which is mostly made up of very tech savvy users, so i dont think the impact to 360 sales will be that big versus pc sales.
also, live, and dlc means that any die hard fan would rather pay for the full experience than get a gimped version.
maybe every game should ship with a free custom controller.. you cant pirate a guitar 😉

First of all, only 360 copy was leaked, that means that you need a modified 360 to play it, considering the fact that most of the 360 generation can’t even find their own [censured]hole never mind reading 5 point instruction off the net, so you shouldn’t worry about piracy there.
Now if you were to leak PC version,, oh hell,, then they would have been [censured]ed on all fronts.
