being able to hack software is something computing hardware is capable of, anti-piracy can not be achieved on a software level when pirates are hacking softwares using software techniques. just like fire can't be distinguished by fire, in order to do that, oxygen must be absent. in the case of anti-piracy, something has to be done in the heart of the problem: hardware.
maybe hardware manufactures haven't figured out a solution, maybe they just don't want to. i believe in the latter because i think for manufactures to incorporate anti-piracy hardware features into their own product is like giving the consumers less reasons to buy their stuff.
I played it, and I'm glad that I didn't buy it. Fallout 3 is so far from being as amazing as 1 & 2, it inherited all the flaws (personal opinion) from Oblivion: main quest is TOO short, lack variety in enemy types, not challenging, and VERY VERY lame ending presentation.
your average £400 - £600 PCs are not gaming PCs. just to give an example, gaming PCs need dedicated graphics accelerator, non-gaming PCs don't. those things cost more money...
I assume you must've never owned or seen a gaming PC to suggest that the difference bewteen gaming PCs and non-gaming PCs are vague.
you think Sony can't tell if one person has 7 accounts on his/her PS3? com'on, they're not stupid, i'm sure each PS3 has its own unique S/N, once it's activated (when you open up your first PSN account on that machine) the number goes up by one, the 2nd time you open up another PSN account on the same machine, it won't increase the count because the S/N is already marked as registered on their system.

so they just told the public what's wrong and they're not fixing it?
