"It seems that the pirates have once again leaked a highly anticipated Xbox 360 game on to the internet before its release, with Bayonetta becoming the latest casualty."

[Saaking]

That's just.... sad.

[DrRobotnik]

New this would happen.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

That's what the 360 do

[deadreckoning666]

Ur right Saaking, its a shame such a masterpiece like Bayonetta will be leaked on to the Internet and people won't pay to play it. Either way the game should do well. The 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 got leaked early also and it was the #1 game in November. I can't wait till January!

Lol, the hatred people have for this game is hilarious. Most people saying its overrated probably haven't even given the demo a shot. I loved the demo so I'm buying it(along with God of War 3). I could care less about what reviews say.

[Dark_Vendetta]

The word "already" is not neaded. They are already selling the 360 and Ps3 version here in Munich since like 3-4 days (Germany), so its not early leaked.

[LordMarius]

now I really want to get a 360, free games count me in, since there is no way Im even going to pay for Live, lol

[rextyrann]

in germany. means sony is done patching the ps3 version?

hows the framerate and the ps3 version doing of the german bayonetta ps3? that would be intresting to know...

[sikbeta]

Too God Damn Early, this game will release on January/February, right?

F*ck those pirates, that's all I can say........

[rodeoo]

might tick some people off with this statement....the game is only ok. its a brawler..nothing special and the jpop soundtrack gets a little annoying

[Raz]

Gosh, Sony and Microsoft must be mad that pirates keep ripping off their games...oh wait, Sony doesn't have that problem. Never mind.

[Infernostew]

The ps3 doesn't have that problem. Unfortunately, PSP on the other hand...

[sak500]

@raz "sony doesnt have a problem"

If i'm the dev i'd still choose 360 platform since even if the game gets pirated on 360 but it still sells higher than ps3 version.

Also dont forget the 95% better multiplat games on 360.

[omimasum]

despite 360 games being leaked, they always manage to sell well

[Perjoss]

lol @ people disagreeing with facts, what was MW2 again? 5 360 copies for every 1 ps3 copy? or was it 6. Maybe ps3 fans just prefer to rent, i dunno.

[Somnipotent]

i buy a majority of my ps3 games... i only rent those that i'm not so sure of. and did you think that most people who bought MW2 did so to play online without risking getting banned? i know people who had MW2 for a few weeks before release and they got banned, went out bought an arcade and bought the game.

[Rocket Sauce]

It's the same deal with movies. Wolverine was leaked an entire month before it released in theaters, and it still made $90-something million its opening weekend.

Piracy is not as bad as people make it seem.

[Mista T]

who cares I think this game is way overrated by reviewers like Edge

[-EvoAnubis-]

I agree. I played the JPN demo, and my initial thought was "meh." In a year when I'm seeing a new God of War, I fail to see why I should bother with this one.

[heroicjanitor]

Not like there are many modded 360s left now anyway.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

WHAT?! The modded 360's never went away. You could still play pirated games on a banned console. Just not with online multiplayer/services.

[KoB4EMvPi]

I just finished playing it on my Banned 360..
Game is actually pretty good considering that i wasnt going to waste a DL disc on this game.

[NotSoSilentBob]

When doesn't the 360 version get leaked and torrented to all hell?

[NotSoSilentBob]

Someone disagrees with fact?

MW2 was leaked for 360 early
Assassins Creed 2 was Leacked early FOR 360
GTAIV was leaked early for 360
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Leaked for 360
Need for Speed Shift leaked for 360
Halo3 ODST Leaked early for 360
WET leaked for 360
...

so many more yet you will just disagree with fact.

Said it so. Not even 5 mins and someone disagrees with fact.

[Perjoss]

Isn't is funny though, 360 is broken hardware but still sells better than ps3 (see NPD november). 360 games get pirated but still sell better than ps3 games. What if the 360 was 99% reliable and no piracy, the ps3 would be totally screwed? looks like it.

[TheBlackSmoke]

Sorry but PS3 sold more in November, USA is not the world. In fact PS3 has sold more than 360 since it launched.

Only FPS sales dominate over the PS3 everything else is close, but in reality 360 should sell more because it has the larger install base.

Whats more funny is the people who acknowledge they have an inferior product and still defend it anyway.

[Karum]

Pretty sure the PS3 is the 3rd fastest selling console of all time, behind the PS2 and the Wii.

[sikbeta]

Google -> The Pirate Bay -> Browse -> Bayonetta = Results:

http://thepiratebay.org/sea...

@Perjoss

Isn't that because there are more xbox 360 owners, I know that now the Gap is shrinking really fast and all, but you have to think about that for a minute and then you'll realise XP

And those pirates that get banned were really stupid, they played with a modded console on-line, whereas smart pirates have 2 xbox 360, 1 clean to play on-line and 1 modded to play bayonetta downloaded from a bittorrent service XD

[silvacrest]

theres no need to list the games

pretty much all 360 games are leaked early as torrents

you gotta give credit to the pirates for working hard.....lol

[Dutch Boogie]

Developers need to JUMP OUT and relise their hard work is being overlooked by a last gen console. M$ really wanted to push console gaming futher when they release the xbox 1.5 huh?

[Shaka2K6]

.

[sak500]

WITH ALL THE fking piracy 360 game sales still pwn the psturd3s. You idiots only hog n4g 24/7 to complain in 360 section and if you had some decent job u could hv bought atleast one console.

[Mr Face Creamer]

The only thing that speaks to developers is cash. You think developers give a sh1t if they loose a bit of money here and there, or make a crappy game?

MW2 on the 360 literally crushed the sales of the PS3, I think Mr. Bobby disagrees with you heavily.

I can't wait to see how this big is 360 version going to outsell the PS3 version.

[SUPREME RULER]

AWWWWWWWWW an xbox fanboy
you must be the one i heard crying outside!!!!!!! dont be mad ur crapbox 360 did not make game of the year! if you reply back then you are a bigger loser then i thought!

it me SUPREME RULER. awwwwww u block me private message you loser

[Dirk Benedict]

I'm laughing at you Platinum Games.

[heylo]

lets see how the devs react to this failure:
http://i28.tinypic.com/qnsr...

[Dirk Benedict]

It may be more along the lines of: http://www.motifake.com/dem...

[sleepyazn]

and why do game designers still support Microsoft when you can just pirate their games? then again this may be why Xbox360 sells so well, the fact that it is cracked. Look at the nds for example

[Dark_Vendetta]

Why the devs support the console? Probably because the games sell like crazy. Sure there are a lot cracked consoles (5-10%) but the rest will buy the game if they like it, so why not support the platform. Remember the Ps2? Exactly the same case (beside that there were even more consoles)

[mrv321]

Or because despite games getting pirated the games still sell.

[testerg35]

Say hello to MW2.. something over 2:1.. even leaked and pirated.

[jcgamer]

lol

[jjesso1993]

yeah its been up for the last 24 hours not bothered downloaded been upset about my 360 getting banned :( other note this is wave 3 this means it was probs been finished since before september wonder why no realese ?

[Dark_Vendetta]

Sega pushed it back because of competition. That's why it was released first in Japan although it had a simultaneous release

[jalen247]

That's a shame! People need to buy their games so developers can get their bonuses and rewards for their hard work. People should realize that these developers do a lot of long hours and work on these projects for 2 to 5 years and sometimes even more. They have poured their blood, sweat, and tires into these games. The least we can do is purchase the games even if we wait for the price to drop.

[Katana Yamato]

I totally agree. Piracy just keeps money out of the developers, especially since Bayonetta is a new IP and Platinum Games and Sega have to make their money in order to make these games. These games aren't cheap and whoever download these games are not only hurting the developers and publishers but gamers as well, since developing games cost millions of dollars nowadays.

Its truly awful stuff like this still happens but then again if people download this stuff they only should blame themselves...cause that takes games out of faithful gamers hands.

Though that's what happens when you make an Xbox 360 lead console game...you get pirates.

Warning Fangirl rant!: Maybe if it was PS3 lead console and the Xbox 360 version looked like garbage like how the PS3 version looks now...i don't think alot of people would be more inclined to download the crappy version of the game...

[Gobot]

chucks. it's to bad you can't pirate games on the ps3, cuz i would've pirated this game and share it with friends.

[qwertyuiopasdfghjkl]

I pirate just about anything I can get my hands on... except video games. Although I'm pretty picky when it comes to buying them, I feel proud supporting my favorite form of entertainment.

[silvacrest]

except i pirate everything i deem worthy and only buy PS3 exclusives

[tatotiburon]

why is this news?

[Perjoss]

because it kind of makes the 360 look bad.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Well it's not news but I think 14.1 has it right. Even though it's a futile attempt when the 360 does just awesome on game sales.

Nothing like getting your piracy update from N4G..

Oh, I just noticed what site this is.. makes much more sense now.

[AsianOnRoute69]

360, it only does pirated games

[tatotiburon]

and outsold ps3 games

[silvacrest]

bigger install base = DUH

[VINNIEPAZ]

I burned a copy last night and loving this game. I like it better than DMC4 and I'm a pretty big DMC fan

[Karum]

The original DMC remains king though, at least in my eyes. Man I love that game.

[jaygeezy]

In case u didn't notice but like a million pirates just got banned from xbox and i am pretty sure that they took out most of the community out. Most of my friens that do pirate their games have legit systems now cause most of them don't want to give microsoft anymore money if they get banned again.It is amazing how the VGA just took place and u get dumb topics like this that make it on this website. If you read most of the comments, they are from honest people that buy their games, so what does the author get out of this story besides slapping gamers in the face that are out here this xmas season spending hard earned money. I would like to see less of these types of articles on here/

[Meus Renaissance]

360 can be pirated = BAD
Microsoft bans pirates = BAD

What do people want here?

[jaygeezy]

and if you look at the author's profile and comments he is a ps3 fanboy. really what is he trying to do recruit and sale some ps3 systems. lol

[aaronisbla]

The CONTRIBUTOR of this article is the person i assume you are aiming your damn rant at, but i'm not seeing any links showing that the contributor and the ACTUAL AUTHOR of the news post are the same person.

[roybatty]

Off hard drive? Or they have to use an ISO? I'm really impressed with the PS3's copy protection. Man, every console before it including the psp had the sh1t hacked out of them, but somehow, the pirates have not got back ups running on the PS3.

[silvacrest]

a little research and you will find out, also ISO's do play a big role

as for the PS3 blu ray is playing the biggest role in why the PS3 has not been modded yet

[TheMART]

Is funny. For the PS3 girls above:

Modern Warfare 2 was pirated early on the 360. Still it outsold the PS3 version by almost 3:1

Droids am cry. They only buy BluRay movies. Plus they get a sad Sega port of Bayonetta, so they have to cry about something ofcourse! Cry me moar droids, cry me moarrrrrr

[CernaML]

"Modern Warfare 2 was pirated early on the 360. Still it outsold the PS3 version by almost 3:1 "

Probably because everyone who played it early got banned?

Also, nothing to be proud about really. MW2 isn't very good. Can't wait for BC2!

[J@D]

My brother is already @ 77% LOL. Why some people arent a little more patience this day.... geeezz.

[Shadow Man]

it will outsell the ps3 version...pretty sad.

[CernaML]

NU UUUUUH! Ps3 version in Japan sold more!! lolol

[Akagi]

This always happens.

The only way I'd be shocked to see game piracy in the news if a game WAS NOT available to download before release date.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

sony sees a million sold...THEY ALL CLAP

BOTS ...clap

pirating is so LAST GEN

[59]

ONLY PC GAMERZ PIRATE GAMEZ BECUASE XBOX360 OWNERZ ARE ELITE & HONERABLE PPLZ

[Chucky2003]

this isn't a news

[jaygeezy]

no u get the cum off ur face and try and do a little research on people u jump to the defence for. all u have to do is click on the author name and check there recent comments. just cause u don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. Must be one of ur friends. lol

like i said this is a dumb story
