Dude, renting a game is still one thing, the Retailer is still purchasing it.

Jed I'm not at all trying to be aggressive. However, if it comes out like that then my apologies. I am one of the first ppl that hacked the achievement system and a buddy of mine came up with a game adder program to the 360. And let me tell you that he pulled out of it fast because he received threatening but firm emails from msft stating that what he is doing is against there TOS and illegal. And will be contacted to appear in court and whatnot.
JB was first meant to just rip and pirate video games. All you have to do is rent a game and rip it or allow you to buy from ppl who sell ripped games for more than 90% off even off of the newest titles. MSFT had the same problem when ppl flashed there drives. But they stopped it. But of course there are many other ways to exploit achievements on almost any game. So it resulted into console bans, resets back to zero, and so on.
As a person who has been exploiting and hacking consoles and even PCs for a long time I regret ever releasing apps and such into the web about achievement hacking. I switch to the PS3 because at least the trophy system still has meaning and glory as well. But rest assure this is being handled as I type this. SONY is not new to these types of hacks as it has been going on since the PSX days.
Cool mate, I appreciate your message.
Yes very well said, so you're totally aware of what happened in '05 '06 with the resets, legal action, bans on MS...and yes I totally agree Sony will go down the same road and people will be held accountable, they're fooling themselves if they believe otherwise.
Personally I'm not going down the JB road, others will dabble and suffer, people need to be aware of the consequences.
