Cool, full games for £2.50... I like the sound of that.

How exactly are they going to enforce this? Or are they going to have a time limit on it? In which case you'd be paying for a demo and so you are in turn being ripped off.

It'll never work.

I seem to remember them talking about this ages ago. One idea was to have "special rental" modified versions of games that have a time/play limit on them.

With CD burners being ultra-cheap these days, I cant see them renting out non-protected CDs.

I have a Yamaha CRW4416S...I think you can't beat it.

Having SCSI is very necessary....IDE is a waste of a lot of blank CDRz..never have that problem with SCSI!
