    I beg to differ... yes there's around 20 or so games floating around but that's it really..... and being stuck with one region also limits us

    This scene seem very slow compared to say xbox, psp, ps2 .....

    but in response to the main question, both, but I prefer to rip ;) it's more fun.... I have too much time on my hands sometimes heheh

    Downloading takes way too long. These games are on dual layer dvd and can be upto 8.5gb. I rip all of mine.

    20? maybe you need a new ng server m8, in the last 2 weeks I've downed every gamed there is off ng's, I think the only one I aint got now is Final Fantasy. Downloading speed is an issue though, depends on whether you have the patience to let it do it's thing and walk away or get a 10mb line like me

    all just depends on you circumstances really

    prefer to download via NG @ 500k/sec. Doesn't take that long really, DL while I sleep via scheduler / DL manager software.

    yes you can play ripped games on live, M$ are unable to detect the FW hack (as of yet), so they cant to anything to stop you! But they WILL be able to in the future, the question is when...?
