-----------------------------------------
I do mean copies and I do mean hacked. If the job is done properly and you use
abgx360 to verify the copies you are invisible the live servers. You need a
specific drive so if you don't have it you have to change it.
It can get messy depending on the box in question but definitaly worth it if you
play a lot of games. I always buy the original if I or my grandson like and play
the game.
Later,
RIB.
