Reason #1 on the most important, they are only approx. $15 each. When they are so cheap, why even go through the hassle of copying them (assuming that was your attitude). If games were only $15 I would probably end up spending MORE on them simply because it wouldnt seem like such a comitment and all the little purchases would end up adding to be more. When is someone going to start selling EVERY game under $20! THAT is the way of the future. Heck most Movies are under $20, Music is under $20 why not games? The production cost is less than movies, and video games are the most lucrative buisness compared to every other form of entertainment. anyway........ -ben >James Shaughnessy wrote in message <36C6236E.D0B1F5B@manc.u-net.com>... > It's REALLY easy to copy music CDs, so why do they still sell so many?
