Well, years ago when Internet speeds weren't what they are now it wasn't practical to download a full CD of few hundred megabytes of information from the Internet. Sure some people did it anyways but it wasn't that easy. However it was a much easier buy a game, make a copy of it and just download a 100k crack to disable any copy protection and then just return it or sell it back to Gamestop. Getting the source data was the challenge and used/rented games was a very easy and very cheap source for it. Piracy on consoles certainly exists but it's generally a lot more difficult than just making a copy of a DVD and running a crack since they're closed systems unlike PCs.Originally Posted by WCP
