stonebro: So ... just under 50.000 unique users? Not too bad. I wonder what made Steam soar from 300k to over 400k in less than a year.

chautemoc: Probably signing EA (I'm sure the SecuROM-lessness drove a few sales too).

Yeah, now they just need Steam-lessness. Then they'll really start selling.

I agree!
I'd sure like to buy Mass Effect (and also Mirror's Edge), but really hate online activation. I think I'm gonna buy Mirror's Edge anyway though cause I love that game to death...can't resist.
I was reading about Mass Effect's DRM implementation on the BioWare forums, and one of the reasons they gave for using it was "no we can't guarantee you'll be able to play the game in 50 years, but how is that different from playing old games on new operating systems?"
Except it is, cause you could if you installed the same OS.......but anyway, Dragon Age is without all that so I hope BioWare goes down this path from now on. :)

You could always get a 360, I can't imagine playing mirrors edge with a keybaord & mouse (well I could handle the mouse but analogue movement is so much nicer than digital)

JudasIscariot: More people for me to convince to buy The Guild :D!!

stonebro: Okay, convince me. You have 15 seconds. Tick, tock ...

I think I'll let The Guild forums do that for me. Check them out and you'll see. My convincing faculties haven't woken up yet.

You could just use a crack after installing the game and you don't have to bother with all that online activation nonsense. You can easliy find them for all EA games and Mass Effect. Don't know if it works the same with digital Downloads though, they may have different executables.
When will they learn DRM's are a waste of time and a pain in the arse at best.

I've played both and find kb/mouse much better. :)
Don't want a 360, not stable enough for me..dont want a TV and I hate Microsoft's IGN whoring on the dashboard.
That said the 360 controller works with PC, which I have.

Nope -- BioWare put in tripwires so the game won't work correctly with cracks. I know there's one which fixes the overheating issue..but anyway, too much fucking around for me. I've played the pirated version with the latest crack and it's buggy as hell.

I played it from an original disc with a crack and had no problems, however i didn't register it or use online (is there an online mode i can't remember). Same with all the latest EA games i've bought. GTAIV was probably the worst but then it didn't work without a crack.
What is this overheating issue you mentioned for Mass Effect?
Its ok i remember now the guns overheated and got stuck.
