Well I flashed the drive with its latest firmware, something I am not sure I ever did and it seems to be working fine again. I keep it because when the drive I use for just about everything (used to be an LG, now it is a Lite On) has a problem with a disk, the Plextor can always read it. It is the P...

Securom software can't kill older DVD drives can it? I was leaving the disk in my older Plextor that I don't use that much since my newer Lite On is so much faster. I rebooted my system and for some reason it locked trying to read the drive to check for bootable disk and I have not been able to get ...

Not sure if I actually meant it as a compliment...lol But I love Railroads, something at first play I could not say. I am shocked Pirates sold that much, unless that is combo sales between PC and Xbox, I could see that. It is a very accessable game. My only disappointment with is it really did not g...

I won't install a game with Starforce, luckily it has not been used on a game I want anyway. Just read all the nightmare stories about it on IGN.

So...you think copy protection works? I am not saying people won't pirate a game if it has no copy protection, I am saying copy protection does not matter to pirates. They always find ways around it, so why frustrate your legit consumers with the crap. Starforce being the worst example. I think this...

The patches have improved the game quite a bit, but I do agree with the original poster. The games release is much like Pirates! and did not live up to the expectations Sid Meier's name on the cover suggested. Still, much like Pirates!, even though I am disappointed about some aspects of the game, I...

If there wasn't pirate kids out there we wouldn't have to worry about all these anti-pirate schemes. That is bull. Copy protection does not prevent or even inhibit Piracy. It just causes problems for the legit consumer. Hell I even think a cracked Railroads was up on torrent the day of release. Hop...
