I got my PS1 chipped back in the day so I could play US imports - living in the UK, there was no way in hell I'd get to see Persona 2 or Parasite Eve any other way. More recently, I got my Xbox softmodded so I could run Emulators and stream stuff from the PC. Strangely, both times, I've only rarely indulged in copied games. A good 90% of the games I have for both are totally legit. It's only games like Final Fantasy Tactics, which most of you will know was notoriously hard to get for a long time (and never released in the UK again) that I've copied.
