Thanks to Planet GameCube for its news that Nintendo has announced a series of 10 re-releases of classic NES games for the GameBoy Advance in Japan. The titles include Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, and Pacman, and will be released alongside a Famicom Edition GBA SP, previously only available in a slightly modified, limited edition. Elswhere, orthancstone writes "Gamespot is reporting that Microsoft is releasing two new limited-edition Xboxes in Japan, an Anniversary Edition in 'pure white', and another in 'Kasumi blue'. The blue Xbox will be limited to 5000 consoles, and will come bundled with Dead Or Alive Online, while the white Xbox will be limited to 1000 consoles, and will only be available online."

Well, the poster you are responding to is incorrect about the whole affair - downloading ROMs is never in firm legal standing. Fair use dictates that you are allowed to make a backup copy of an item you purchase and since you are making the backup from the game yourself, there's no burden of proof that you owned the game.

Downloading ROMs, even when you own the original game, is not legal, even if your game was already destroyed before you made the backup.
