    Usually it's not the file losses that are the worst, but rather the privacy of the information stored in your computer. People spend much more time fighting off against unwarranted charges on their billing / credit card than fixing the problems caused by either a virus or an anti-virus..

    If you bought your PS3 in a 'reputed' store, they will not make you much trouble and refund you, even the games you bought provided you still have the receipts, and then sony will be blasted for the return.

    An eula that you 'agree to forcefully' to use a device you bought can't overwrite any laws...

  20. Re:I've joined the beta .. on Heroes of Newerth Open Beta About To Start · · Score: 1

    Jackass ? Idiot ?

    I did my share of testing, made known of my concerns and took a stand on the forums. I did a few suggestions, but by then I was not enjoying playing the game at all. I was mostly hoping to help find bugs, which was not really possible anymore. Every idiot could then complaint and flame on the forums...

    So I did what was best for both me and them, I stopped it at that, but not before encouraging them by buying a copy of the game. Early monetary support is often much more important than one more guy getting flamed on the forums.

    So, again, why should I have kept playing if I had no fun in it ? Did I gave them my soul for entering the beta or something ?

    Anyway..

  21. I've joined the beta .. on Heroes of Newerth Open Beta About To Start · · Score: 2, Informative

    bought it to support them, played a while but stopped for 6 months since it was too unbalanced and not buggy enough to warrant beta testing, and just came back to it a few days ago. The game has progressed a lot and it's very fun to play :)

  22. Re:5 dollar patch on BioShock 2's First DLC Already On Disc · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think I'd go with this for a car analogy.

    Lets say you buy a nice sporty car, lets say a BMW at around 350HP. You've been using it for a while, and then your dealer tells you you can get an extra 50HP by applying a software patch, but it will cost you 2000$.

    Well, they've been doing such a thing for a while, and people are actually quite happy with this .. because they got the car as it was advertised in the first case, and those extra HP are well worth the price of the patch and the engine warranty reduction (or whatever..)
