PC Version of Alan Wake after 360?

[Streeteh]

Extreme PC piracy?
It's not something i look for, and i am sure it does exsist to some extent, but pirated console games are by far easier to obtain?
I own a Wii and have had numerous offers from people to "chip it".

From where i am looking pirated console games are far more readily available than pirated PC games?

You only have to look at a popular torrent site and compare the number of downloads for the PC and 360 versions of the game to see that PC piracy is far more common. There's also other issues such as voiding hardware warranties and getting your console permanently banned from the online servers. The PS3 hasn't even been cracked (yet?).

have u see how easy it is to crack and mod a 360? all u need is a desktop machine which most people have nowadays and the rest is history. takes 5mins to do and is dead easy. no mod chip etc needed and undetectable by xbox live.

i remember how fallout 3 leaked on the 360 first weeks before the release date and a month before the pc version was leaked

As stated above, doing this to a 360 will (unless you're careful) void the warranty, something you don't want to do with what is frankly a very unreliable hardware unit. Also the crack may not be detectable but poorly 'cloned' games are, tens of thousands of people have been banned from xbox live and have been forced to go out and buy a new console as their modded console was detected.

Also, it's still much harder than getting a pirated PC game working

yes but some have there 360's out of warranty so why not? console games are 10 times easier to crack. no DRM on it whatsoever as far as i have read in the past.

The ps3 is the only console not cracked and thats because the guy who did it was employed and hired by sony
