The Top 7… Games you don't want for Christmas 2009

GamesRadar writes: "Christmas is nearly here, and we can't wait for it to be over.

Why not turn off all those ugly electricity eaters and conserve our dwindling natural resources? While we're at it, let's turn off the life support systems, too.

Even if they do crack down all a person needs is an Everdrive and a regular old school machine. Or modify a disc based console that has a dead laser to boot off an SD card. Some of those illegal devices look neat and some of them are just plain crap.

This won't stop it unless you have a great service.

What a stupid thing to be wasting time, money and effort. Aren't these guys literally drowning right now? Maybe y'all should focus more on that instead trying to stop people from playing old games no longer being sold.
