Too bad about the copy protection. That really sucks. I won't give any game that sort of cart blanche to f*** up my system. I'll have to drop SHIII from my list.

Ironically, I hope the pirates can figure out away around this one. I don't want anything screwing with my IDE drivers. The sooner this new copy protection is dead the better. I don't like piracy, but the cure is often worse than the disease. What is really ironic is that it now becomes more likely that I would resort to a pirated version of the game than the original. Even though I don't run any pirated software at the moment... And I'll be voting with my wallet to avoid that type of intrusion.
